No pics are available for the insulation. It looks like insulation though.
Pics of the sheetrocking completed and the double door hung are shown below.
I installed R-13 on the inside of the wall, hung sheetrock, and then installed R-13 again on the outside of the wall. This gives us R-26 in the walls, slightly compressed because of the staggered studding. It all worked out quite nicely. The one false corner was stuffed completely as well as the riser. In the ceilings I installed 2 layers of R-13. All seams, corners, and openings around cutouts on the first layer of sheetrock were sealed with silicone and then the second layer of rock installed.
We used 1 5/8" sheetrock screws on the first layer (only one layer on the outside wall) and 2 1/2" screws on the second layer. Spacing the short screws about every 8-10" apart and the long screws every 4-5".
The double door is weather sealed and has two thresholds to complete a solid seal.
Here's why we angled the back corners on the inside of the room. We wanted to have plenty of room to get in and out of the house door. If we had made it a 90 degree angle it would have looked weird with the corner being so close to the door.
Thanks to Ray Catrett for the mudding. He's the best there is and he's very good. Not much sanding when he gets done. Ray can get around on a 5 gallon bucket pretty fast. It's amazing to see him move that bucket around while standing on it. Ray also sings in a band (they do not play bars or lounges, only private party's) and Ray has an excellent voice. I invited Ray and his wife over to watch a movie sometime. This is also a good picture of the corridor separating the HT room and house.
