Here's my solution to the fiberglass insulation - IT"S ALL GONE! I spent the day Sunday (after church, of course!) pulling down the fiberglass bats and replacing with 1.5" rigid foam. It worked well to plug the openings above the interior wall and it cleaned up the look of the rim joists. A little caulk around the edges and I think we are good to go. Waiting for the painter!
Stay tuned ...
