Wacky Weds: From foam to fiberglass to cellulose?

No matter the product, it all comes down to the installer…

oops-forgot-a-bay-cellulose

Amazingly this was captured in a fully completed brand new million plus dollar house and easily visible. As mentioned, it doesn’t matter what the product is (foam, fiberglass or in this case cellulose) it doesn’t help if it is not installed properly or you use the wrong type in a given location.

    There’s a few things I don’t like in that photo. The scabbed on piece to the jack stud, the excessive framing members in the ceiling. This must be an unfinished bonus room looking towards finished space. Makes me wonder what other things are hiding in the walls that you can’t see.

    It is certainly amazing that that kind of stuff happens in expensive homes. Unfortunately, it’s not surprising anymore. I’ve seen too many cases of million dollar homes with fancy finishes and crappy enclosures and HVAC.
