I poked around in a few of the other boot-camp experience threads but did not find an answer to the following:  What kind of batt insulation is going under the red cabin?  I ask because when I see the photos  of the installation the term "rat condo" springs to mind ..... and yet if there is some rodent deterrent that you guys are implementing in that insulation, I'd be most curious.  Thanks... and nice framing on the solarium!

We’re using rock wool insulation and then covering it all up with 1x4’s

Re: Rockwool with 1X4s....  Thanks!  I've heard better things about Rockwool than other insulation types in this regard so hopefully this with the wood covering will do the trick.

PS, Cool that you got to have Johnny D. and Jude L. stop by!  If only Paul "Brad Pitt" Wheaton had made the scene as well during the photo shoot! ;-)

"butternut and fried Sage pasta sauce" sounds delicious Magdalene! Do you have a recipe?
