    Stud walls 12" O.C. ??

    Good point, If you did use foam you could allways run some empty 3/4 to 1 inch pvc in some of the areas you may want to add wire. I ran two of these from my basement to the attic when we built our home 10 yrs ago. They have come in handy as I have fished additional lines thru one now. Next job...

    Another option is the expanding foam that is sprayed directly in the stud bays, then shaved flush with the studs after it has fully expanded. I am sure it is a bit more than conventional insulation. Upside is it's fast and makes for a very well sealed structure. There may be a contractor in your...

    Running natural gas to a garage

    I strongly suggest you get a gas contractor or your local gas supplier to run your line. This is for liability reasons. If you should happen to have a leak and a fire your home owners insurance will not cover the damage if they find you did the work. If you run the line yourself you need to...

    Increasing Attic insulation over loose fill

Faster ,will cover better, and if you put batts over the blown in it will compress and loose over half or more of it;s R value. Plus you will have gaps in between the batts and you would need to...
