Thanks for all the responses. Wizard, I have storage trusses and OSB laid down as a floor, and will be putting up a metal ceiling before they insulate. He is talking about blowing in between the ceiling and storage area floor where he is limited in depth by the 2x6 bottom cord of the truss. I...

2x6 walls and truss

I am sick of using a hammer.. A buddy helped me put the starter strip, then my girlfriend and I have done the rest.. just need to finish up the top rows and the rear wall

good to know, the company did offer R21 fiberglass under the storage area floor, I am jut wondering if its enough insulation @ R19 (or 21) because the storage area is 1/3 of the ceiling area. Or if the blown in under the floor would be better due to complete fill, or worse because it could...

I have had several companies quote spray foam insulating my garage, and I got this quote for a hybrid solution wit 3 types of insulation. What are your guys thoughts on this? I had been focusing on straight foam, I hand not thought about using cellulose in the attic/storage area...thoughts? the...

the attic has storage, but It will not be heated/insulated. The ceiling and walls were the plan to be foamed And everything i have read both types of foam stop air intrusion... am I mistaken?

From your link it appears I will be fine/ dont require one....??? And the ceiling will be metal, walls drywalled.. ignition barrier? Because it already has an air space behind it, vinyl siding does not require a rainscreen installation unless it is installed on top of rigid foam that is more...

as it sits today

Interesting, I have not seen that argument brought up before, but it makes sense. But running a vapor barrier would not trap the moisture in the open cell foam?

That was kind of my point, I have room for the thickness with my 2x6 walls, so does it make sense to pay for the closed cell.... thank you both for the replies!

In my new 30 x 48 garage I need to insulate, and I am in the old debate Open vs closed and I was all set to go closed cell, but wonder if the benifits are really realized in my application. I dont mind spending money for a tangable benifit, but I have been told more than once that open cell...

wow, very helpful, thanks Brewchief!!!!

This may seem obvious, but I need to run 1" PE gas line from my house to garage, looking online there are not a lot of options to buy the parts, Where is everyone buying their gas line supplies? I am looking for 150' of 1" line 2x 1" couplings 2x 1" risers (~20in tall)

It ended up being worth it, as the bad throwout bearing started the chain of events that ended with the whole crew in the VIP area with free food and open bar with Freiburger at the Dells show. :beer: Thanks to a couple friends and 2 long days, the facia and soffits are installed... It was...

nice progress! glad it moved easily..

and thanks you guys for the input! I appreciate it!

yea, I was planning on a bank of 3 at the man door and another 3 in between the big doors set up in a 3 way config..

:thumbup: perfect, now I just need to figure out how I want to Wire them.. (how to break them up on the switches) prob do 3 rows front to back of the garage, IE all 3 rearmost on 1 switch, ect

Oh, and the sheet metal for the ceiling is in 3'x24 panels, so I should only need 1 seam, hopefully its not too rough to put up such big panels. I have a drywall lift.

prefect, thats what I was hoping would work. Popping some screws into the trusses and a 1" hole in the metal will make that job cake!
