    Insulation conundrum

    The blown in doesn't look too bad at all price-wise, and for a little extra I think the tin will be the best bet. Father-in-law did his shed exterior 2 years ago and the price from those guys was $2.28/linear foot which works out to be a little over $500 to do my whole ceiling. I'm sure it's...
