Insulation and Drywall

Getting insulation proved to be difficult.  Our original contractor stopped returning phone calls 2 days before he was supposed to start the job.  We had to scramble to find a new contractor who wasn't already scheduled out 3 weeks.  Spray foam insulation needs an exterior ambient temperature above 35 degrees, so everyone's schedules were packed.  Thankfully, we found an excellent contractor who had an opening between jobs.  Here are some pictures of the action:

The drywall crew came in right behind the insulation crew.  These hanging crew worked so fast we could hardly get pictures of them.  The finisher was mostly a one man crew.  If we had to do it over again, we'd use a company that had a regular staff.  The man we used was very nice, responsive to our requests, and affordable.  However, he took 2 weeks to do a job that a larger firm would have completed in 3 days.
