One *minor* nit: the foam comes in (at least) two colors:
Blue is made by Dow (and others).
Pink is made by Owens Corning -- all of Owens Corning's insulation
products are colored pink -- their trademark / mascot / spokes cartoon
(?) is the Pink Panther.
The Pink and Blue foam is the same material: building insulation foam,
commonly used to insulate foundations and/or poured concrete building
walls. Getting the stuff can be problematical in warmer climate areas
(eg Southern United States, etc.). It is commonly available at
building supply places (Home Depot, Lowes, local lumber yards, etc.) in
colder climate areas (eg New England).
