I don't feel fast anymore. Lol

Yes, but are you still easy?

 

[MrMarty51]

I hear that. Lately I find myself saying, "How the heck did I get THAT up on that shelf?? I don't think I could do that now!".

Not very many years ago, packed in and shoved one of those old fashioned 100 pound TVs on a shelf, about 8’ off the floor of the garage.
I now would like that TV down from there but I am not even sure that I could tip it to get it to drop to the floor.
Might have to make a fire cracker or two and get it offa there in pieces.

Got the metal roofing done awhile back and forgot to get pictures. Covered in snow now. First picture is of the 2 layers of material I used. Bird screen and then hardware cloth. The hardware cloth is to keep the squirrels out.
Then the cardboard baffles are to keep the insulation from blocking airflow. Also got my man door installed.

What? No bear door?

Got the insulation and vapor barrier done. One layer of r38 and then a layer of r21 in the ceiling. Then more r21 in the walls. Going to be putting a layer of 1" foam board before I put plywood on the walls and ceiling.

 

[MrMarty51]

Will the 1” styrofoam board go over the studs ?
I have thought of doing such as that but didnt know how much squish there would be between the foamy and the OSB/Plywood.

 

[ak diesel driver]

The plan is to use roofing nails to attach the foam and let the head act as a stop to keep from squishing

Was spray foam cost prohibitive?

 

[SnowDrift]

why not 2" on the ceiling?

 

[ak diesel driver]

Yes spray foam is very expensive. Only trying to achieve a thermal break so the wood doesn't conduct the cold.

Getting started on the foam.

 

[MrMarty51]

Yes spray foam is very expensive. Only trying to achieve a thermal break so the wood doesn't conduct the cold.

I would like to build a dwelling, using 2X8 top and bottom plate, 2X4 studs to the inside and outside with a 1/2” gap between them.
I’m not much for spray foamy insulation so paper backed fiberglass outside, maybe 1/2” foam board between the studs then fiberglass inside.
Be expensive but I think it would be insulated very well.

My house has 12" walls, two 2x4 walls with 4" between. The blow in fiberglass I put in calculated out to an r50

 

[dbrannon79]

I bet with all the insulation and foam board it's gonna be air tight and warm even without a heater going. are you planing on sheet rock or wood for the interior walls?
