On occasions that I do use the shed and turn on the heat source without the insulation AND the air barrier/thermal break it would be 20 degrees inside when it is 20 degrees outside. If I apply the iso directly to the interior of the exterior sheeting, there will be no air gap to allow the...

I am refurbishing an old shed and am looking for some input about insulating it. The shed construction is post and beam with horizontal purlins to attach the wood board and batten siding. Rather than insulate directly in the wall cavities I was considering placing Polyiso ridgid foam board on...

Maybe try one of these http://www.irobot.com/us/learn/home/looj.aspx

I just picked up a load of white metal roofing panels, $.50/ft custom cut to length. These were factory seconds but you can't tell them from the premium grade.

Baz It's not the ends of the boards that I am concerned with as they will meet at the joists. I'm worried what happens to the 22 1/2 inches between the joists.

If my math is right that would be about 900 biscuits. I guess I better get to baking! :D

That would be about 1600 ft of tongue and 1600 ft of groove. I wonder what it would cost to have this done in a woodworking shop? Any estimates?

I need a little advice. I am looking to finish the ceiling in my shop using 16 foot 1x10 pine boards nailed perpendicular to the joists that are set on 2 ft centers. I am wondering if the boards will noticeably deflect or sag in between the joists. I am considering 1x10 pine because it is free.

Sylvan Stoltzfus Builders out of Paradise PA. They build a 36 x 60 multiuse garage/horse barn with a Gambril roof for me recently. Great working with them.

If rain water seeps in through the eventual cracks would it rot the siding since there is no air movement to dry the boards? The initial cost of spray foam is more than I can afford. Since I would not be heating it too often the payback period would be quite long. What about the wood siding...

I am relatively new to this chat room but I have already enjoyed reading and benefitting from the feedback and knowledge that you guys and gals provide. I recently completed a new workshop/pole barn rebuild on the site of the prior one that was destroyed in the “Doratio” storm on June 29, 2012...
