You gotta keep it insulated

(Say the title to the beat of the first line in The Offspring's "Come Out and Play" - You gotta keep 'em separated.)

Our bonus room is very sensitive. To the temperature, that is. It's very warm in the summer - over 80 degrees some days - and cold in the winter. We're probably going to add some insulation to the attic, but the McHusband also thought that insulating the garage, which is right under the bonus room, would help. It would also be nice for him when he's out working in the garage if it could remain a little more temperate.

Here's what he was working with:













It actually goes on the garage door, not in the walls.

Before:













And after:













It kinda looks like the garage door is wearing a ski parka - the outside layer is smooth and slippery but underneath is all poofy. Looks kinda cozy, doesn't it?

No verdict yet on if it's helped because the McHusband just finished last night. If I had to guess, I'd say this was one of the easier house projects that he's undertaken. Maybe a little tedious with the cutting that was necessary, but certainly a very doable project even if you aren't a handy-dandy McHusband.
