I didn’t. I read that moisture needs to go up through a structure and you
want it to be able to permeate and go through the ceiling. But, you know
how it is, you can read anything you want to on the internet. :) What do
you suggest?
I ended up using vapor barrier on the walls and ceiling and taping the seem
with Tyvek tape. I tried to find acoustical sealant at Home Depot or
Menards in my area don’t have a Lows but they don’t sock it. It sticks to
everything. So I ended up running a bead of caulk on the top and bottom
plate let it set up a little then screwed the sheets of plywood to the wall
figuring that the pressure from plywood or drywall would create a friction
seal. Got some videos if you want to check them out.
Also, no vent between the roofing & insulation? Moisture from indoors will
condense on the roofing, and drip in to your insulation. The fiberglass
will clump up.
There is a vent. First there the roof is panel drain so it stands off the
strapping in many spots, second 4-6 insulation in a 10 space leaves enough
for vents. No I didn’t spring for buying those styrofoam vents cause i’m
cheap and this is a garage! :) Also, there isn’t a lot of moisture in the
garage, cause there is no cooking, propane appliances or bathrooms with
showers. :)
thats some crusty insulation lol
nearly 100 videos!!!! make it your challenge to get there before the end of
December??!!!!
Good job!
no vapor barrier on the ceiling?
This stuff was AWFUL! Never again. :)
Oh yeah. I’ll hit that by the new year. I’ll hopefully hit it by the end of
the week! :)
Thanks

that’s my theory anyway :)
No doubt, but at least its get’n covered up and will most likely insulate
just as well as if it were new.
Do you consider yourself wealthy?
