Insulation or not?!

The drywall was hung on all of the first floor by February 4th! They are so fast!
They also started hanging the drywall in the living room and kitchen area.
So that's what fiber glass insulation looks like? I'm sure learning a whole lot throughout this process!
Here is Makaio standing in my walk-in closet that is getting insulated in the walls.

So we live in Hawaii and the temperature here stays relatively consistent...not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter. So everyone we talk to says "You don't need insulation in Hawaii!" But...some of our friends who have done insulation and are in the business of building say, "Oh yeah, you should do insulation in the attic and at least between the floors." One expert has said, "If you insulate the walls, it could mean a difference of 5-8 degrees warmer (when it's cold) and 5-8 degrees cooler (when it's hot)." So obviously after much contemplation on Matt's part, we went with it. Do you see it pictured in the ceiling here?
