Sorry the headers . The boards the trusses sit on.

So you recommend getting insulation in the attic? It’s not warm out. It has been in the 40’s. It’s finally got to normal ny temperatures . So hopefully this will help a bit.

We just have a couple of boats , trailers and tractors in there. I’m concerned about the vinyl and canvas on the boats though. I guess just do what we can and see how it works out.

The ceiling is sheet metal and nothing in the ceiling . We weren’t planning on insulating it for awhile and the contractor knew this. We weren’t planning on doing any of the finishing work for a year or two . It was just going to be cold storage. We have no power or water hooked up.

It is water on the ceiling. There’s no electricity, power or water. And no vapor barrier on the floor.

There are two overhead doors and two window. There’s also soffits . They weren’t open until we noticed the mold. We sprayed all the wood with vinegar . We live in upstate ny and it has been a warmer winter so far. I’m thinking the ground is causing the moisture but if the contractor didn’t wrap...

So we just had a 40x60 pole barn put up on October 17,2023. We told the contractor that we would like a ceiling but we wouldn’t be putting in a concrete floor or insulating for a year or so. He suggested we put the ceiling up while he is there with the lift. So we agreed to have him add that to...
