Finally
The foam is sprayed into the rafter bays and then shaved back so that drywall can be attached to the "attic bedrooms." You can begin to get a feel for the shape of the bedroom ceilings.
Conduit was routed from the attic to electrical boxes in the bedrooms and the livingroom in case somebody wanted a telephone or cable TV. The hardwood flooring is stored around the room perimeter.
Here's "smurf tube" flexible conduit to allow the routing of data cables, etc., to the computer work station. It also starts in the attic.
Here's an interior partition wall for the bedroom, you can see the lower part is shaved back to the rafters and the upper is not. The stove chimney goes though a 12" length of ductwork stuffed with rock wool. That gives you the 2" separation from combustibles for an 8" stove pipe.
Up above the collar ties, the foam was allowed to "run wild" and was not trimmed. It averages about 10" or more, giving an R-value of greater than 45. But the real value comes from it's ability to seal air leaks. I'll try to get pictures up on that.# posted by gnome-honey @ 9:34 AM
