When we started looking into insulation, we found blog entries of people who'd spent thousands of dollars blowing in foam insulation. In addition to being expensive, that approach eats up inches of valuable real estate. Instead, we opted for the R13 rolls of cheap pink insulation As we put up the first few bats, we realized that the insulation was too thick for the studs, causing the walls to bow. In the end, we had to peel a few away a few layers of insulation, probably reducing the R13 to R4, but I suppose it's better than nothing. We double-checked the guidelines for vapor barriers, then used plastic sheeting to hold the insulation in place. It was during this phase that we realized we'd installed off-white outlets while our walls-to-be are white. I was informed that this was not going to work. The upshot was Courtney learned how to install an outlet, and we're officially color-coordinated now.
