Gaaah! The countdown is on and winter is on its way! I need to get my wood stacked and ready for burning in our heat masters wood boiler this winter! Winter in Canada can bring some insane propane/electrical bills so I’m very thankful to have split wood for the season but I need to get it ready to go!
But with heating our home comes with requiring insulation! It’s time to finish up insulating the cathedral ceiling in our living room and getting the vapour barrier up!

[@gridfreedomquest8613]

last week you asked if it was worth it to do your own insulation and vapor barrier ,now looking at how happy you are with the results is worth more than than the money you save. be proud of yourself, you deserve to be

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you. So thankful to save the money. Honestly there are way more difficult things that need to be done that I could use that saved money on.

[@eduardomontes1276]

I've been watching your program from the beginning, I don't remember when it started. But throughout the entire journey you went through many moods and you never gave up even though many times you had little strength left to hammer a nail. You have overcome hard knocks, but you have surpassed yourself with great success at all times. Seeing your happy face when you install the insulation and the vapor barrier says a lot about you. Your cheeks are red, not from the work, but from the pride you feel at reaching this stage. You still have a lot to do, but with the experience and suffering lived throughout the journey, you will have more red cheeks.👍👏👏💪💪

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you so much for noticing all of this. It’s been a lot of work. I was a little speechless seeing the vapour barrier go up in our living room :)

[@hulkthedane7542]

Good morning, B. Biata the Smiling Builder 👍👍👍👍. What a treat to see you this happy. You are getting somewhere! Happy Birthday to your daughter. 🇨🇦🇩🇰🇨🇦.

Hi Biata! The insulation is really making the house look more finished. Happy Birthday, Feliz Cumpleaños to your daughter, I hope she has a wonderful day and a lovely party with her friends. That view from your windows is so stunning. See you next week, take care, Naomi x

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

It sure is making it look so finished! Thank you!

I've said it a few times on some of your videos, but damn you are amazing. That smile on your face when you accomplish something is so damn beautiful. congratulations on everything you've done and how far you've come as always. I truly enjoy the videos, keep your head up, and keep pushing forward. Beautiful, you're doing an amazing job 👏

[@montyspellman2560]

Fantastic content, you may not be a teaching channel, but you taught a lot of us a thing or two , especially in this episode. Keep on smiling and God's grace will shine on you.

[@chantellej9282]

Good morning! Excited to watch.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Good morning Mom! Thank you

[@davidschlecht3016]

Biata, I don't envy you working with the insulation, but you are doing a remarkable job, and I like the cutting through the wrap, making it easier to cut. The putting on the vapor barrier you have done a great job. You are remarkable and so dedicated to this build. A HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your daughter, and congratulations on all you have accomplished. 🎉❤

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thank you very much!

[@mshuff91266]

When cutting the pick insulation, it makes it a lot easier to compress it with a two by four along your cut line.

[@lilyofthevalleynaturechannel]

Happy Birthday to your cutie pie! Biata you can almost feel it! It's coming together! Lots of work to go, but it will spur you on. So exciting to see and visualize it completed.

[@KarlBunker]

That view through your sliding doors is just magical. And congratulations, of course, on getting so much done!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Isn’t it?! Such a beautiful view. I’m so thankful for it

[@ericwilliams1964]

Good morning, Biata from Jamaica 🇯🇲, just love the progress made Your husband is such a character when he gets into the video

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Haha he sure is 😅! Thank you!

[@bill944]

Setting goals is good but, don't beat yourself up for not making them. You're doing a great job!

[@LarryWatters-w3r]

Girl, you are simply amazing on the work that you do and how you get it done by yourself you really amaze me and things sometimes do work out even if you don’t plan them like the insulation being right length for the wiring just keep it up you’re doing a great job. Love your videos and I love spending my Sunday watching you. Thank you.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

I was so thankful the wires were in the perfect spot! Thanks so much!

[@garyobrien5090]

never enough wood,living in canada,great great job cutting insulation,haven't done it in many years but great idea

[@stewartblacklaws6422]

Wow Biata. What an achievement. No wonder you’re both happy and emotional. You must be so proud of yourself, and if not you should be. Have a wonderful time at your daughter’s birthday party. These days are even more important than your accomplishments. Lots of love and respect from the old man in the UK

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you. I was so happy to be able to host her party and everyone said it was the best so I’m so thankful!

[@carbonitetorch4563]

great job!! i always look forward to walking through a home after insulation. its almost eerie how much quieter everything seems.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

It’s wild!!!

[@billyshumate853]

Good job Biata and Happy Birthday to your daughter ❤️

[@BossmanEight]

It's Sunday, time to spend with Biata!

[@Hog-g2z]

Good Day, looking very good, your hard work is now paying off, well worth the effort, Happy Birthday to your daughter, it looks like I might be getting my roof replaced soon, as it has suffered storm damage, there is no insulation in the roof, so I might be doing that myself, 240 m² approximately, very very high up, the property is a very old Moulin/mill , dated back to the 1600 , Good luck with party 🎉, From France

[@Snowsey]

You’re such a happy hard worker!

[@chantellej9282]

It’s still impressive to see you working at such heights. Congrats on getting the rooms vapour barriered.

Oh wow, oh amazing. It absolutely looks so different. Yay a birthday party. Oh I love following your journey 💖💖💖💖

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@dovetales622]

really great work Biata! i love that you used a simple jig for cutting your foil back insulation!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thank you so much! It worked well!

[@jamesmatheson5115]

Yay how awesome are you, great seeing the smiles on your face, its happening fast now.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

It sure is! Thank you so much!

[@rmd9032]

Biatta, In my home there are styrofoam insulation baffles that provide air space between the underside of the roof and the room insulation. They provide a 2 inch air channel up to the ridge vent

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

That’s pretty cool!

[@zepmaniac]

The progress is really evident in this vlog!! It's really coming together nicely, great job! And I always enjoy Cam's comic relief cameos!😂

Good morning!

[@andreamanigat16]

Great and neat work. Happy Born Day to your daughter!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you!

[@SavageNitemare]

Just a tip, dont rush the process, you put up vapor barrier before finishing insulation in the living room. It seems like a great idea, but it just cost you more time in the long run. Finish each step before moving to the next. It would only take you a few extra minutes to install the missing insulation then put up the vapor barrier, then you are done and dont have to come back... Absolutely great progress so far... Happy Birthday to your kiddo...

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

I absolutely needed to put plastic on the walls to keep the kids safe. I put like 8 staples on the wall to hold the plastic up in the living room temporarily. It won’t take me much time at all to finish it up. Trust me, I was working all the way until my daughter’s party. Weed whacking, decorating, cutting food. Sometimes there isn’t time

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Also, the missing insulation required was going to take a lot more time. There’s wires in need to install there. Stuff happens :).

[@jamesboris1233]

Happy Birthday to your daughter

[@safaripantura8758]

Good job 👍

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Things are looking really good ! I have cut alot of R38 fiberglass which was a pain until i discovered using an electric meat carving knife that i learned from another youtuber...what a gane changer that was.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Oh sooo cool! Thank you!

[@sylvainbriere2942]

Wow this is really taking shape. I hate working with acousti-seal cause you end up having it all over yourself and it is tuff to clean it. Can't wait to see drywall installed. It will look really great especially in your living room / kitchen area. You are amazing I hope you know that right ?

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Haha it’s terrible stuff! So sticky and such a mess! And thank you!

Oh wow Biata, better you than me, I'm itchy juat watching you, we did it once on a basement ceiling and I'm so allergic to fiberglass. Hopefully it didn't get into your eyes too badly😊 Great job with the vapour barrier👍👍 Happy 8th birthday to your daughter 🎉🎁🎊🎂😊

Oh okay sounds good!

Sorry I wasn’t the first to see your video this week but you are so enjoyable whether I’m the first or the 140th. Gonna miss you.

@@SimpleLivingwithBiata you’re welcome

[@JamesMcnichol-ss2oc]

Wood the one thing that keeps you warm many times lol it is a lot of work putting enough wood up for heat. I go through about 20 cord a year between shop and what I use for my maple syrup hobby

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Wow that’s great to know! Thanks so much. It’s always interesting to see how much people go through

[@kochykoo]

You ain't done yet 😝😝😝 Glad to see you happier than you have been. Just goes to show a little positive atmosphere goes a long ways😉😉😉

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Haha not even close to done! Getting there 😂

[@kochykoo]

@@SimpleLivingwithBiata hell you gotta roof and 4 walls.. that's all I need. Slap a little paint on that plastic and it will be ready. It would be pretty funny watching all the people having to live the old ways of life when you had to sleep under the stars and kill your own dinner while cooking it over a fire. No door dash delivery and no electricity. It probably kill of half the population the first year 🤣🤣🤣

[@Prescott-hockey8]

Wow you rocked it this week! I bet you will use less wood than you might think because of the in floor heat and how tight the insulation is. It is still best to have to much than not enough. I will be interested in how much you use by the end of winter. I was also thinking where is your electric stapler it will save your hands and wrists. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR DAUGHTER 🎂 from Michigan.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thank you! I hope I’ll use less than I think!

[@Prescott-hockey8]

You will be able to fire up the burner now too when it gets cooler and not have it all go out the roof. Just wondering if you thought about a thought of mine with the Michigan wood on the cathedral ceiling.

[@TABO744]

Wish I could come and give you a helping hand… you got this

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[@DAROZAWOODWORKING]

Insulating is the worse part. Luckily being in north Florida 30 years ago the codes were a lot easier.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

It’s definitely itchy!

[@kevincron1716]

Way to go girl you are kicking ass

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Awh thank you!

[@truckdriver7721]

1st off. The 1st pile of wood that you guys stacked up. Figured out to be 4.5 cords of wood. The truck load of wood. (Which is a nice score) Equals to be about a 1/3 to half a cord. Overall, I think you might be right in having around 8 cords of wood. Maybe a little better than that. Lastly. Even though I haven't been following all that long. Yet I see the progress that you are making. Which is a good thing. Eventually. When everything is all complete and you and your family are all moved in. It will be all worth the blood, sweet, and tears. Keep up the good work. 😊😊

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Okay awesome! Thank you!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

[@Dag12324]

in florida you fail if you vaper barrier the ceiling . walls only

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

That’s so very odd. But doesn’t Florida have very different R value for the attic? We require R60 for truss ceilings and R31 for cathedral ceilings

[@Robertbush-s7t]

Smart to use the used cardboard saved a lot of money

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Sure did! Thank you!

[@philipsheridan8325]

Doing a great job Honestly I would hire a Sheetrock person to do that. Good luck keep the video’s coming.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Thank you! Getting quotes for mudding at this point :)

[@jayhostettler1260]

Looking good! That's time consuming but you're almost done keep on pushing!! You guys might need to take a break from the home and cut some dead trees down and have a fire and relax outside for a bit!!

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

That sure would be lovely! At this point I’ll relax a bit on Sundays and then bust my butt until Christmas 😅. We need to get in the house lol

[@AaronHope_Sow]

Owens Corning swears their newer pink insulation is not ichy like the old stuff used to be 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

This wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be to be honest. Still more itchy than rockwool lol

[@CharterRights]

Hint: Get yourself an electric staple gun with a 12-2 extension cord. With all the vapour barrier you have to complete it will save your hands.

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Ah fair! Thank you!

[@darrenpeterson5381]

talk to tree removal companies they may be a source of wood that is good outdoor boilers that people don't want for inside fireplaces

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

True! Thank you!

[@darrenpeterson5381]

if it's covered with the sides open it should be fine

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

Okay awesome!

[@edwardcollins1596]

What is the fire code, using cardboard for air gap. Sounds like a fire hazard. Did you look into that?

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

If fire reaches that cardboard I’m pretty sure the whole house is a goner. As I said, it’s very common for insulation companies to use cardboard for vents! :)

[@ruralridez6165]

why do you need vapor barrier just curious?

[@SimpleLivingwithBiata]

It keeps any moisture or air leaks from coming inside :). It basically distinguishes what is the interior and what is the exterior of the home :)

[@MurDocInc]

@@SimpleLivingwithBiata Actually by code it`s meant the other way around, in winter time to prevent interior hot moisture from entering the walls and condensing on the sheathing cause all sorts of headaches. In summer it could do the opposite, exterior moisture would condense on vapor barrier that's being cooled by interior AC. But I believe that's only when you have major holes in the sheathing that could draw in alot of moist air.

[@Robertbush-s7t]
