small retaining wall needed for this

ah yes! Planning on using an under the sink vent not ideal but one less hole in the metal siding!!!!

LOL this is actually kind of what I plan on doing in my shop. Only we have some water that seasonally runs thought the property and are installing a ditch for the water to move off the property and will dump the gray water there there some pvc pipe or the like... Just guna get environment...

is an air space important if you have no ventilation?

WOW! I thought my GC screwed me but your getting royally screwed here. First of the BBB isn't gonna help much I mean I'd do it let others know but all you do is make the contractors grumpy but they don't really care. Also the BBB process takes ~3 or so months if the business ignores the...

OK! So Tyvek is now up on the walls, Spray foaming everything was just not in the budget unfortunately. The job went smoother than expected at least better then I thought. Also installed Z channel around the base to stop mice from getting in, and stainless steel wadded up in the corners as...

Looks good!

Tyvek breaths.... uh is the metal considered a vapor barrier?

Yeah, I thought that was it.... I'm planning on insulating the shop... and was going to make it a cathedral ceiling to avoid loosing height... would putting a layer of foam board over the purlins on the inside take care of this? Had no idea how much the wood was a conductor!

I was outside and looking at my shop when i noticed something strange... the roof had a color change on it (Assuming DEW forming) between the purlins and the insulation. Very similar to what you see on a poorly insulated house when the snow melts and you can see the frame work. I haven't...

Well, It's just about done!!!!! The sides came off really easy tyvek was not too hard to work with as long as the wind didn't get too crazy, the last side we did was really easy and fast. Now we are putting trim and gutters back on. Dad came and helped with the full process very glad for...

Id do some light torching to get wood grain to show up more then poly

When I go to insulate the ceiling can I add more insulation to it and leave it cathedral style.... I have NO ventilation aside from the narrow small gap where the R panels are raised. NO SOFFITS and no RIDGE vent though again no closure strips on the roof. Would you do this as follows {metal -...

Well my husband ordered #14 screws!!!! JESUS is this bad seems like if they fail i wont have anything to go up to???

Yeah you have the order right on installing, but I was getting mixed info... I think they said to use un-faced so I could pack as much insulation in as possible. (this seems strange to dense pack fiberglass since from all the reading I have done the air space in the insulation is what gives it...

You have pics of your shop and how you finished it. We are working to make a section of it office/art/computer area insulated and heated. the other part of the shop will stay as is...

:D my shop was attacked and runover with mice when I inherited it! We had to rip out the insulation that was there and the inside is already framed for insulation bats in a manner that makes its very hard to really instal tyvek correct at all. I think at least

I need to use 2 inches where I am to get past the Dew Point in the wall. Spray foam was going to run ~3K Doing it with materials I have and labor of removing siding etc cost ~500 (Screws, Tyvek and 6 mil poly & tape) Then we plan on selling the place in 5 years and building something. (this...

Do you have a picture of this, trying to picture what you mean...

Yeah, Better safe then sorry! So I plan on going to #10....from the #9 Also need to track down some Z channel or rat guard to install....WILL NOT HAVE MICE MAKING HOMES AGAIN IF I CAN HELP IT! My cat's are kicking ***.... sadly one of them is slowly working up to killing coyotes (we joke) It...
