All the random glops of foam look quite a fright.

Before I start phase 2 (install mineral wool) I'm going to get in there and trim off the glops and at the same time, inspect closely for, and fix any voids in the 1-part foam.

Mineral wool is really great stuff to work with, as you can cut it to shape and push it in tight, without leaving unintended air spaces.

Maybe this will happen before winter really sets in, maybe not.

Already I can feel the difference in the kitchen.

Fortunately, I have had a data-logger monitoring and recording ambient temperature and also each room in the house, including the kitchen, for about a year now. So I'll be able to measure the difference, not just feel it.
