    Got a little further

    Only working in the morning's till it gets too hot up there
    Staircase is in now so I have way better access





    Smaller opening which is easier to close off with insulation tacked up temporarily



    I've added foil faced rigid insulation to the walls and foil faced bubble wrap to the ceiling over the batt insulation



    Won't be able to tell how effective it is until the whole space is enclosed but the wall surface seems much cooler to the touch than before I put it in
    I've also got the beams fabricated, in place and have gotten the weight of the roof off the floor



    I did get some help from my neighbor's sons to put the beams in.
    They're in high school football and wrestling and made it look real easy
    Twenty bucks for five minutes work, I should be able to get them to help again

    Framing some walls is up next

    For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe
