Thank you for posting this work in progress picture, it’s very helpful! What is the size of each panel? What do you call the tool that allows you to hold the panels near the ceiling? Where did you get them? Neat setup.

I love this ceiling! How big is the room? What did you put on the boards for the finish?

Do you have a pic of the tongue and groove ceiling?

Thank you for posting these pictures, really helps me visualize where I want to go!

Thank you, the roof is metal panels over 5/8 CDX plywood. The pictures make this clear on how I can accomplish the blow in on top of the ceiling. How do you cut the metal ceiling panels and what do you use to finish any gaps or bad cuts? Similar to how wood is covered with mouldings etc?

Thank you. The picture below shows a gap between the plywood along the ridge, do you perceive this is an asequate ridge vent?

Thank you, Is the hole pretty much in the center of the structure? How do you move around up there if there’s no floor to walk on? I have no idea how much weight my 2x4 24 oc trusses can support.

I have trusses and no ceiling. I really don’t want to mess with blow in. If a ceiling was covering the bottom of the 48 x 30 trusses there wouldn’t be any access to blow insulation in. I’m sorry if I’m confusing anyone, I made it clear I had no idea what to do nor do I know every bit of jargon...

Thanks for this information, now I understand, I could use the craft faced and still staple the poly to the studs and I would have a good vapor barrier. I do want an economical and diy wall and ceiling solution. I’m going to look into the steel solution although I’m a bit concerned about cutting...

Thank you, where would I typically find recycled sheets? And are you saying I’m just filling the area above the 2 x 4 trusses area with pieces of sheets? I’m just having a hard time visualizing this. Keeping it warm is an afterthought and I don’t really have a heat source in mind. I will only...

I noticed something on the top Plate where the trusses meet the top of the wall. There is a double 2 x 6 layer running along the top of the sides but at the top of the plate between every other truss there is a third 2 x 6 piece. What is the third layer for and why every other 24” section? What...

Wow, this sounds like a serious job. I wanted to do this myself over time. And I have no plans to work in there without a jacket on in the winter. If I just put plywood over the wall studs after insulating with some R-X value rolls where do I put this 6 mil vapor barrier? Why can’t I use the...

I think the soffit is just covered with a perforated material. I have no idea about the ridge vents. With the walls being 12’ and a 5/12 pitch truss on top I can’t see much and I don’t have anything larger than an 8 foot ladder. Would I be able to see anything from the inside?

My walls are 2 x 6 24” on center with 1/2” osb and house wrap. The siding is metal, just like a pole barn The roof framing is 2 x 4 trusses, 24” on center, 5/12 pitch. The trusses are covered with 5/8 CDX plywood and the same metal pole barn stuff on the outside. The garage is located in the...

Lisa - did you ever get the nest working with the moodiness? What was the issue?
