    Ready to close up my walls in my garage.

    A few years ago when I was in that spot, it was cheaper for me to have the insulation installed by a contractor than I could buy materials for DIY. Do you self a favor and make a few calls first.

    Wainscot inside shop?

    Not really an HVAC Question

    So, here's the situation. I have a M-38 Ashley poultry scalder (http://www.ashleymachine.com/sure-scald.asp) installed in our Mobile Meat Processing Lab (MMPL) that burns propane. Initially this worked reasonably well, but the pilot light was a bear to get light due to the long pipe (~35' of...

    Looking for a good Spray Foam company in Delaware

    Not sure about spray foam, but I used Gede Insulation to do the walls and ceiling in my pole barn/garage a few years back. In my case, I used batts in the walls, and loose blown insulation for the ceiling. I found them to be great to work with and the price was better than I could have...
