At least it certainly seems so. I've been plugging away at it daily, long sleeves, long pants, mask, hat, in the heat and humidity. It's miserable work and probably will last a couple more weeks though some of the insulation isn't slated to arrive till the last week of August. I'm going to have to push the drywall into September. But here are some new photos.
First photo is the kitchen, at the very top is the wall between it and the garage attic. This was the last thing I did today. Seven hours of this was enough.

Hal started applying vapor barrier today. Prior to this he was adding black iron pipe under the floor for the gas range and the living room enamel stove.

In total, I've finished every 8"thick wall in the house proper and the 2 rooms in the garage using 2 layers of 4" thick mineral wool. We're waiting on the 6" wool for the gable end walls which are, obviously 6" thick. There are still four 8" walls in the garage. Whether they get rock wool or pink fiberglass depends on whether we can get more.
