    Pole barn wall framing

    What you see in the picture isn't finished, I just threw the batts in there to get them off the floor. On the finished wall there isn't any air gaps, I cut out around the little blocks & outlets & stapled the insulation together & to the posts so that it won't sag

    Pole barn wall framing

    Here is what my unfinished wall looks like. The insulation is just sitting in there to get it off the floor, I still need to fit it around some stuff & staple it in. [/IMG] I put these little blocks halfway between the posts(4') to stiffen the wall up. This is the side that is finished. I ran...

    Pole barn wall framing

    The way I did mine the insulation there is no way it could ever sag, it is compressed enough to hold it in place. I also used kraft faced insulation & stapled the flange of the first batt to the pole & stapled the other flange to the flange of the batt next to it so they are all tied together...

    WIW snap on & matco boxes

    He said he was flexable so I'm pretty sure I can get everything for $300. I just wasn't sure if the boxes were any good or worth anything being that they were older. I know nothing about Snap-On boxes, I was just looking for some nice Craftsman boxes when I came across these & thought that they...
