Brick is a very poor insulator, yes rolled insulation is still standard but what was the R value they used?

Reason for my asking is that when I open up my cabinets they seem to be warm perhaps from the heat of the bricks in the sun all day???

The houses I build I only use roll/ batts for sound proof on interior walls , only tract home builders in my area use batts for insulation

That's good quality stuff, but this is a camp house/ weekends only. Every other one if that. Had to cut corners somewhere to come in on budget, after ther wife puts her touches on it.

Don't think I was trying to knock your home if I came off that way I appoligize . No but seriously I'm building a 3500 living area home right now and the blown fiber was not much more

I understand, no problem, just saying surely this contractor did at least that much for Casey.
