Two men came with a big truck and white plastic overalls and sprayed some of the insulation in. They were early (see other post) so we didn't have all of the prep done, but the reason they left without finishing was that the foam was a "winter mix" instead of a summer one (it was in the 70's), and that makes it pull away from the wall. Not good. So they went away with a promise to be back on Wednesday and we've been working fast and furiously since. That was Thursday afternoon and we'll do well to be finished by Wednesday; there's so much to be done.
I love the spray stuff, though. I just kept thinking of "Ghostbusters" and the Sta-puffed marshmallow man! With a house this old and the distance between any two joists or studs being like no other, the time it would take to put in regular batting insulation would be huge - and it wouldn't be nearly as effective!
So, here this is the first step!
