They are all nailed into place with clips now, we just hadn't gotten there before the picture was taken.

Thanks, I'll have to pick up some metal plates
I used that method of insulation cuz it's what was recommened to me.

The walls are all framed up, the wire is all wire'd, surround sound is wired in. I ran the cable from the garage to the attic, and found a way to the basement last night. Have a couple little things to finish up and and will be drywalling this weekend.
