    Insulating a metal roof

    Mine had a ridge vent and soffits on the sides. I added the breathable foam at the vent to seal out any wind driving rain up and over. Added continuous baffles from the soffit to the ridge vent to allow air flow. Then used R30 batts unfaced. Made vapor barrier with plastic.

    Wifi in Barn Query

    You may not need 2 nano stations. depending on the house construction, it may pick it up from the barn. I can get my house from more than 300 ft. If one does not work, then get the second.
