    Gaps in celotex floor insulation

    Agreed and that’s what I said to him. Most of the celotex looks like it’s been cut blindfold. I was able to cut it straight with no effort at all so looks like there was no care in doing a neat professional job at all

    Gaps in celotex floor insulation

    Is taping required if there is additional VCL on top of the celotex? If it is I’ll go get some tonight and do it myself.
