It cuts easier, has less airborn particles, is made locally and from mostly recycled material.
It didn't take too long to get this in and then the next job was making sure the vapour barrier sealed it all in permanently.
A lot of stapling up plastic, taping the seams and using stinky and sticky black accoustic sealant which gets everywhere and makes such a mess. we tried hard but could not find an environmentally sound alternative that has a good reputation.
all the electrical outlets and sockets also had to be really well sealed so no puffs of air or insulation could escape.
In the middle of this we had an amazing visit from my cousins Glenn and Paul who on a saturday helped us rough in the second floor hot air ducts. They are so proficient and fast and it took them one day what would probably have taken us over a week. It's also always exciting to see someone do construction in a house with a chain saw.
chris started work on the ducting for the bathroom fans, all the little, never ending things, so he could eventually move on to plumbing
