Thank you for the quick reply... I will try to get some picture this weekend :) Dumb Question, but do I need a vapor barrier, or can the Metal touch the fiberglass insulation.

All, I am working towards finishing the inside of my pole barn. The trusses are 3.5 Feet Apart. My intent is to install OSB, and blow in some Atticat Insulation. My questions are. 1: What thickness of OSB do I need to prevent sagging? 2: Will this be too much weight for my trusses? Thanks

No worries at all. I wouldn't be considering copper, except for the great deal I am getting...

Thanks for the feedback... That was what I calculated, but wanted a 2nd opinion... :beer:

Gentlemen, First off I must apologize for being gone for 8 months, but extremely long story short, I am back and ready to wire my pole barn. The Subpanel is exactly 284 Feet from my main. Would 2-2-2-6 Copper Wire Work for my application? The reason I ask is I can get this for a song right now.

Thanks Guys. I appreciate the help. I will post back once we have an actual trench to measure, it will be far more accurate. :)

Thanks for your reply. I guess, I am reading NEC 310.16 wrong. I thought 1/0 would be sufficient in AL. Isn't 1/0 AL rated for 120 amps at 75C for USE type cable... Thanks for the help... I wish I could, but the cost of another meter is prohibitively expensive.

Hello, I have a question that seems to be asked over and over, but I would like a consensus. I have a pole barn that is approximately 300 ft from my main panel (we haven't dug the trench yet). I would like to install a 100AMP sub panel with a 100 AMP from my main panel. 1 - What wire size do...
