The View From the Curb
Here is the lovely exterior of the home in Fairfax, Virginia. You can see that in this photo there is a tube going from the street to the upper floor. This tube is what brings the blow-in cellulose insulation to the attic. You will see that this looks like on the inside towards the end of the album.
Cantilevers: Before
What we are looking at here is the under side of a bay window, otherwise known as a cantilever. This photo was taken before we deconstruct it to insulate what is inside.
Cantilevers: Deconstructed
Here is the inside of an uninsulated cantilever!
Cantilevers: Deconstructed (pt 2)
This shot is just another angle of the exposed cantilevers.
Cantilevers: Insulated
This is what the contents of a cantilever look like after being insulated with spray foam!
Cantilevers: After
And voila! An insulated and sealed cantilever.
The Old Stuff
All of the pink fluffy stuff on the floor is the original fiberglass insulation. We will remove this to replace this with blow-in cellulose insulation.
More Fiberglass...
This is what the original insulation looked like all rolled out.
Duct Encapsulation
Here you can see how we encapsulated the ducts with spray foam.
Spray Foam: Before
This is one wall that we insulated with spray foam before we sprayed it.
Spray Foam: Up Close
Here we have a spray foamed wall. This is what it looks like up close.
Some More Spray Foam
This is simply another image of a spray foamed wall.
The Last Insulator!
Here we are looking at what the big tube was bringing in from the first photo. This thick grey fluffy stuff all over the floor is the primary thermal insulator and it is TruSoft blow-in cellulose insulation.
