Attic Insulation and Sheetrock finishing

The sheetrockers finished hanging the sheetrock. We then called in the finishers to do the mudding of all the seams and cracks. They do a preliminary quick patch and paper, then another layer of mud, then another layer of mud and then they sand it to a smooth finish. We had to wait a day or two between layers for it to dry. Drying was delayed by the rain, which we needed.

On the last day as the mudders were sanding, the insulation truck arrived. This truck has a machine in the back and a hopper to load the bales of fiberglas insulation. The machine blows the cotton-like fluff into the attic. This fiberglas is much different than the stuff of old which was itchy and left miniscule slivers of glass in skin as it cut into a person.




This is the truck with the door open and the hosing in place.
