White Bird In Flight

The white foam and foil vapor barrier now in place looks a bit like a bird in flight. Or as we like to think, a big dragonfly.

The guys from RK Concrete are back to finish installing the last of the rebar, vapor barrier and wire mesh.pastedGraphic.pdfGrant having fun with an angle grinder.

We are using a special insulating vapor barrier.  It has a layer of foil sandwiched between two layers of foam.   The 4 foot rolls are taped together at the seams which is what Joe and Grant are doing in the above picture.
