All the insulation we'll need for the ceiling and gable ends, as well as two rolls of 6-mil. poly for an additional vapor barrier.

Getting the insulation upstairs was fairly easy with the block-and-tackle we still had hanging in the stairwell opening. It took both Bob and Jeff to lift the bundles, with Bob in the basement...

...and Jeff upstairs.

Jeff applies adhesive to a plate.

Bob's framing experience shines through in this amazingly straight stud work. Actually, these are studs cut slightly longer to wedge between the top and bottom plates so that pressure is applied to the bottom plate while the adhesive dries.

Sweeping up at the end of the day. In the background, the plates are laid out for the utility room. The foreground (surrounding Bob) shows the plate layout for part of the stairwell.

Here is the "L" shape of the stairwell.
