Odds and Ends

A few things to complete before the drywall shows up:
1 - Drill a 8" hole through the rim joist to the outside and install a 8" wall vent and duct for the future exhaust hood. Couldn't resist emptying the entire can of expanded insulation foam.
2 - Install strategically located stud-blocking to easily attach cabinets and appliances to the wall with straight-forward wood screws. This will help avoid the frustrations that usually comes with the use of ineffective drywall anchors during cabinet installation.
3 - Insulate exterior walls with fiber glass. Notice the safer use of unfaced insulation in joist cavities where heat-producing recessed light fixtures are present.
