Project Cottage -floor insulation

This project was simple but time consuming. You will need razor knife, blades, mask, measuring tape, and a board. We went with the higher grade R-30 attic insulation because it's better to spend a bit more once and then reap the environmently and ulitilty benefits month after month.  


The board is for holding down the insulation. It's super fluffy so just extend your razor knife pretty far and hold the insulation flat, then it's way easier to cut.

All the corner boards that were double 2x6 got a corner bracket. 

Then after like a million cuts, the floor will be fully insulated, hooray. Glad that itchy job is done, oh yeah wear long gloves (like the yellow ones for dishes) 


Next is to lay the su flooring. Before you lay down the plywood run a bead of liquid nails subfloor glue over all the connecting supports. The label says that this will make your connection 200% stronger that just screws alone. Stronger is better:) 

More coming soon as we lay the subfloor. Till then, keep it green, clean, and classy.
