Electrical reworked to separate these rooms from the front room, closets completely removed, flooring removed, hvac going to the rooms capped off. I swear plaster is terrible to deal with on multiple accounts. Hard to demo, breaks into tiny pieces, and it's so heavy that it will take me forever to send it out on garbage days, even if I do 100 pounds or so a week. I might just have to load it in the truck and find a dumpster at work. I'm still not done tearing plaster down either.
With the insulation, I talked to a few carpenters at work to learn about insulation theory. After talking to them and doing my research, ill just be going with fiberglass rolls, vapor barrier on the reptile room side. The more consistent your temps are to your target room temp, the less insulation becomes nessisary, more you add, the easier it is to control. I live in Michigan so I see temps from below 0 to 100 through the year, insulation is a must lol.
Heres where I'm at now
