Thanks so much. I’ll get with them!

Thanks. It sucked to go back at my old age so I am glad I’m done. I’m by old magnolia.

Did you ever make more progress?

Hey all. I got backed up with work and going back to school and lost all of my momentum unfortunately. Time to get going on projects again now that I graduated. Does anyone have any recommendations on hvac people they have used in Houston/Magnolia area? It’s a 50x50x16 red steel shop with a...

i used a 3/4 inch pipe bender and just kinked the rapid air over top of the conduit. easy peasy cheesy. lay out your marks and do it the same on each one and it looks great. you really dont have to make it any more complicated.

Waiting on some quotes. This isn’t going to be cheap.

I guess my question at this point is how much is the humidity going to be affected by leaving the ends open? I should be getting a quote in the next few days to spray foam end wall soffits, and the ridge vent. I think that’s the best course of action and the most ideal in my situation. After I...

I heard back from the builder. He says: We have customers conditioning the buildings all the time, the 3” VRR is an R-11, the ridge being open will not effect the a/c at all. Thats is a continuous ridge vent with a 3” wide x1 1/2” profile pads between the roof and ridge. A/c will never get...

Hey did you add that beam in down the center after your shop was built? Thats pretty handy.

I figured the insulation was to keep condensation of the walls and ceiling. But yeah it didn’t make any sense to me. But I obviously don’t know much about it.

That’s super smart. I have one sitting there but never thought to check the temps. Thanks on the projects. I have had that old Chevy since I was 12. It’s a nice old car, needs freshened up now as I redid it 29 years ago and I didn’t have much money at all back then. The Rover I got right...

Did you have this insulation installed after the building was built? I wonder if there is anyone in the Houston area that does post construction installations of insulation.

It is. As are the soffits on the end walls. I can see light through all of these areas when the lights are out.

there is a baffle from the ridge vent to the outside to keep out bugs, etc but I don't believe there is one from the soffits to the ridge. The insulation is just under the metal roof.

I dont have any idea what the R-value is. I looked at it and cant seem to find any makers information or whatever. The paperwork just says insulated roof and walls but gives no details and I haven't heard back from the original builder. I guess I need to reach out to some metal building...
