- Measure twice, cut once (and in our case, multiply by 6).
- Follow directions when applying the contact cement.
- Use whatever you have to provide extra pressure while the adhesive sets (like c-clamps, ski poles, your head).
- Be happy with the results (or else).
All told I spent about $60 on EPS insulation + about $30 on glue. Getting ready to set a move-in date this summer. (This wasn’t meant to be a pinto bean ad, really.)

I did think at first that you used pinto beans to insulate your house … I’ve heard of using popcorn as a packing material, so it wasn’t too far of a stretch to think of mashed beans as an insulator. A yummy insulator for bugs.
The house is looking good!
Mmmm, mashed beans. Great idea for saving even more money!
