Blower door testing & bonus insulation

This was an interesting part. Steve our illustrious energy rater came by and did a blower door test to check for air leakage. He then did a survey with the IR camera looking for air infiltration. We did find some places, but overall we achieved 1810 CFM50, comes out to 2.8 ACH50. Which I'm told is quite good for first pass numbers. It should get tighter as we add drywall etc..

Also.. I bumped into Carlos one of our insulation guys who offered to insulate the whole garage for a small additional price.. so since that will be my man cave I splurged on it:

all garage walls insulated
