So the managing agent has finally contacted me as a result of the wall and ordered me to stop all work. This has me 1) freaked out a bit, as the co-op could kick me out if they wanted to, 2) ticked me off as all work I was planning to do with my Dad cannot be done and 3) delayed the whole project!
They have decided to send out an engineer to look at the wall, mainly to verify it's not a load bearing partition. A load of bah humbug really since I feel they don't trust my engineer and they are just looking to make money off of me.
In the meantime, I'm going to head off to Green Depot in Brooklyn to buy some denim insulation. It's a pretty cool product because it's natural, eco-friendly and is easy to handle. No glass fibers or masks need to be worn, so it's worth the little premium compared to fiberglass insulation to me. Plus I'm sure it will add value to the home and help keep my apartment cool in the summer and more moderate in the winter. I hope I can fit a few packs in the back of a Subaru!
