Garage - Next Steps

Our garage construction has taken on a turtle pace. First the electricians needed to come in...two different crews; one for the solar batteries and solar panels (on the RV garage roof), and the other crew to wire the garage for outlets and lights, as well as to put in the electrical panel. Once they finished we could move on to have the building insulated. 

The garage will accommodate two vehicles. It is deep enough for our truck,
and it is wide enough so we can easily move around the vehicles. 

There is an area in the back of the garage for lawn equipment,
bicycles, and can also house a small workshop area.

Yesterday the insulation was blown in:

First, plastic was put down, and also taped around doors and windows.

This fellow was very adept at scaffold scooting, as he mover around 
the perimeter putting batting where the roof and concrete meet.


The nozzles of the spray guns had to be cleaned.

They  were ready to roll.
Both fellows worked and the insulating was completed within an hour. 
Most of their time was spent preparing the area and heating up the mix
that turns to foam and expands, sticking to the surface. 

All done.

    1. Ha! Easier to say when it isn't out your back door! To be honest, it did go fairly quickly but things were held up by the two electrical groups; the solar guys and the regular electricians. Neither will do both jobs, so they had to coordinate.

  2. It's interesting to see how things are made. We don't know much about any of the things we use day to day and take for granted. This has been fun to watch. :)
