Jose, the main man on our drywall crew is cranking it out. The insulation is up in most of the interior walls now as is most of the sheetrock. Here is a shot of the UltraTouch in one of the bedrooms.
This stuff should be really health-friendly, with no VOCs or other nasties. None of the interior walls were insulated before, so this should be a big improvement in terms of acoustics. Even partially finished, it is much quieter, which makes it seems very peaceful and actually makes the house feel even more substantial and solid. It is funny how you don't notice some noises, even subtle background noises, until they are gone.
I know you can't tell from the photo, but one of the things that we noticed when we opened up the walls was that the 1957 framing members were real 2x4's. If you go to Home Depot or Lowes today and buy a 2"x4", you are going to get a piece of wood that is 1.5"x3.5" (the nominal dimensions are 2"x4", the actual dimensions are 1.5"x3.5"). Actual dimensions on these babys are 2"x4". Not a big deal, really, but think about how much money the lumber industry made if they kept prices constant as they cut that much material out of the finished product!
