Mine is a pole barn/building (post frame) construction ~ just a little hybrid. I do like the rigid foam idea. Do you guys have any good ways to cut the rigid foam? I guess it would be a lot easier to cut 3/4 than the 2in I used in another project. I would have to cut many pieces manually to...

Does anyone know what I should do here? Is my situation that strange? I posted pictures as asked.

My main question: Since the bubble wrap stuff is a vapor barrier is it ok to insulate under it with using typical baffles, insulation, then drywall?

Doubling the wall in different ways as some have mentioned, if they are not coupled together it is better, as in music studios (I am a musician too). In my old house, which was near an airport, the airport had a company come in to lower the sound noise from the airport. They re-insulated...

I guess. like you said, just forget they are there? Install baffles? Then insulation, then vapor barrier, then drywall etc? Keeping an air gap up to the ridge. Here you can see better. [/URL][/IMG] Here is a picture between truss going down to eve/soffit vents. Here is the underside of...

Here is an existing pic (not sure if the link will work from an iPad). You can see the trusses, purlins, and some of the foil shining. Keep in mind there is eve/soffit & ridge vents. I just want to close it up and insulate.

I am hoping to insulate and close off my attic ceiling soon but having a hard time thinking about the concepts and varied posts about it. My main question: Since the bubble wrap stuff is a vapor Barrier is it ok to insulate under it with using typical baffle, insulation, drywall? Even if this...

Well, the city told me I can park in it - and so the Jeep goes in and fits nice! A lot more to do, but I have covered, protected storage! The build only took 10 working days from start to finish! Not including, waiting, permits, inspections, seeding, electrical, driveway... (the last two...

I am not sure what CIP stem walls are or how they differ? A textured appearance? (i am not a contractor and know of all the differences). Eventually it would be nice to put brick on the bottom to tie into the house which is all multi-colored brick. Though, I have plenty of rock - but not...

How do you like your building 2 years later? I am pretty positive these are the same guys that built my building too. I can recognize the truck, workers, and building similarities too. Stoltzfus-builders out of Lititz PA. I wouldn't have minded getting windows in the garage doors, but I...

Day 10; Day 6 for framing etc; Siding completed, doors hung, stairs to upstairs done, extra dirt taken away by the local college down the street (bonus!). The builders are done after 10 days of working! Just waiting for final inspection and cert of occupancy. The upstairs room will be for...

Day 9; Day 5 for framing, concrete for floor poured and done, siding almost complete, sofits/overhangs done, door trim, seamless gutters done (i didn't realize they were going to be seamless and they are large), and I had them install another window (an after-thought).

Day 8; Day 4 for framing, not a full day of work for the guys this day, they left a little earlier. Started siding on two walls, and sofit, as well as prep for concrete the next day/stones level packed/plastic/etc.

Day 7; Day 3 of framing; roof insulation, metal roof, wall sheathing, wrap, doors and windows as well as stones delivered and spread for floor. busy busy day!

Hey Kuliwobby, Is yours finished inside or what? Do you have any pictures available to show?
