Vertustudio, 9 December 2007So you're saying that it‘s good to have the steps tilt a bit like that? Our local inspector didn’t stop by – he told contractor to do the best he could and then just…

Vertustudio, 27 December 2007Now that the studs and insulation are all in, time to load in the drywall. External image, not preserved — original:…

Vertustudio, 18 February 2008My entire south wall has the same structure with regard to rock and insulation: QuietRock 525, Type X, cellulose insulation 'mattress' between staggered studs, Type X.…
guitardad72, 18 February 2008I'm guessing you meant per sheet cost but could you clarify per sheet or total for 20: AND I'm guessing that means the insulation is from drywall to drywall with no air…
