The Environmental Home Center (www.environmentalhomecenter.com) is our savior in the remodel. This store, despite catching fire recently, is still in business, and has been an incredible resource every step of the way. We recently just bought some insulation made from post consumer blue jeans (meaning the scraps from making blue jeans and other cotton products) and used to make R-19 cotton insulation. While more expensive, it is much friendlier to use, install, and live around while remodeling one's kitchen. Jen has coined our kitchen the "freezer box" as its been mostly un-insulated, and with temperatures dipping, she has developed quite and aversion to the kitchen. So I am starting to insulate it, and will just work around the batts with wiring, plumbing, etc. Check back to see how this goes??
