The crew is quickly making progress on the project. With the north, east, and south sides done, they are now making moving to the front, the west side. They're tackling the 'easy' pieces first - places with good sheathing. Next week the carpenter will come back to fix the water damaged sheathing near the front door as well as redo the porch decking. Then, the crew will come back to finish with the rockwool and hardieboard application.

For this project, we're looking to strike a balance among:
In the end, the material cost of the rockwool will be ~$7,000 and the 2" thickness will provide an additional R6 to the exterior, which is about a 60% improvement from our previous exterior wall (which includes plaster wall, 2" of dense packed cellulose, backplastered wall, 1x6 sheathing, woodlap siding, and asbestos shake siding). |
