[House Project] Foundation done, interior walls almost gone This past week, they construction guys did a lot to get the floor on our new addition - as well as tear down the walls of the existing interior. Can you believe they discovered the walls had no insulation?! Bob told us yesterday that he expects them to have all the framing done by the end of this week. If he really means all the framing, I'll be pretty damn impressed. Below are some pics I snapped over the weekend - click on them to more.

Walls coming down

Good luck with your addition. We did ours last year and discovered that our house didn't have insulation either. Since it was built pre-energy crisis ('57), I think that was pretty common, although in Atlanta it's less surprising than Denver. Unfortunately, blowing in insulation to the existing walls can be a mold hazard since it eliminates the air space breathing room.

Luckily, they're stripping down all the walls to the bare wood and will insulate all of them when they put on the dry wall. We were pretty surprised there was no insulation - no wonder it was so cold in there last winter!
