Been a while since I updated. We have been in the house for a couple of months and things are going great. We haven't had to have AC downstairs and it has been 100F (or very close) every afternoon for a couple of weeks now. I did put in a ceiling fan above the living room. On high, it really moves the air and keeps us more than cool. We do tend to chill the house at night so it will stay cool during the day.

I still haven't put the rigid foam up outside. It is so hot right now, the foam and siding will wait until late fall. I have plenty to do finishing the master bathroom and painting the kitchen.

Also, I have found multiple air leaks where the spray foam didn't get. I've been going around fixing those as I find them. One of my buddies at work has a good thermal camera so I'm going to borrow that and see if I can find anything else. We gotta keep that cold air inside!

thanks
Austin
