How To Insulate A Shed Roof & Walls | 12x24 Tiny Home Semi-Off Grid DIY Shed to House Conversion
How To Insulate A Shed Roof & Walls | 12x24 Tiny Home Semi-Off Grid DIY Shed to House Conversion
Today we take another trip out to The Shottages to put in insulation in the bunkhouse. While there, we go straight to work. This is not intended to be a "How To" video from a professional insulation installer; however, I do show the DIYer how to insulate 2x4 rafters and walls using fiberglass batt insulation / Great Stuff spray foam insulation. Using feedback from Facebook commenters, we install 2x2 sleepers along the rafters to ensure adequate airflow through the baffles in order to maximize insulation value.

    How many 4x8 sheets of interior to finish the walls and ceiling ??? Mine is like yours basicallly open floor a tilt roof frame no ceiling as it follows the a frame pitch like yours. I need the amount of sheets i need. I know the walls 8 ft and 2 24 ft lengths and 2 12 so thats 48 ft minus door and two windows on front. Its the ceiling roof im wondering how many i need? I imagine i could use the same as roofing the thing was but it will be less interior lol. Im cheating here. Never did interior.

    I talked with the guys who insulated my sunroom last week. They said the roof does not require baffles since it’s all closed and to proceed with faced R19 for the roof, I put up R13 for the walls. After the roof, I’ll put in the sheet rock.

    Hi Bill You are helping me and motivating me to tackle this type of project. Going to seek your continuation video Doing the same project on a shed to tiny house in south AL. Do you have air intake in the soffits? Or the baffles are for air flow within the roof structure only? Excellent ppe tip! R values to use 💪🏼 Did you install a Vapor barrier before the drywall?

    Really like liked the Drummond water pump to the artesian well. Trying to do the same thing with each of the pumps you have. IDENTICAL PUMPS, LOL. Could you elaborate why you don't have a check valve on top and what do you find easiest to prime that five gallon pump. As id like to eventually plumb to a small cabin and a spigot for chicken water and have the big pump run a line to prime the smaller pump to transfer water??? Sorry for the long comment, just I've scowerd the Internet looking for something this specific. Thank your son for me for being so informative at the end.

    Hey man what about what type of A/C system ? I run a window tint business out and it’s so hot my body can’t take more than 4 hours in that thing cooking me alive to the point I chug water and stay hydrated but it’s gave me heart stroke and heat cramps but I tried a window unit also 3 ton until blowing air at the top back corner and it worked great until I have to back out the car and bring in the next customer. So all the cold air gets sucked out immediately. So I removed them both and started just leaving open the shed garage roll up door and sliding window on the side . Do any one have any suggestions or good ideas to somehow have a\c. But quickly cool back down so I can actually stay longer at work with the garage open and I want it closed so I can work in peace and just not kill myself because it’s just like so bad i just need to try something else . Someone said put up one of those plastic thick curtains like they use in walk in freezers and put the window unit back . If anyone can give me some info that would be helpful until then I’ll keep looking for a solution thank you

    I ran PEX from my shallow well pump into the side of the cabin, i added a shutoff with that small drain cap that unscrews, i used heat tape that worked well , then i left the place for a Winter SnowBird break down south....hope all is well upon return. I want to remove the old 2.5" galvanized piping and replace but am concerned the hole will fill in some during such an attempt. The cost of a new well is communist - ly ridiculous.

    Out of curiosity, what's being stored/done inside this shed? R30 with baffles is pretty overkill considering it's not a living space and doesn't have to comply with code - you'd have been better off just making it a hot roof with R13/R15 and adding a small roof vent...

    What the heck? Baffles??? I thot i was going to buy the pink stuff and throw it up there. What, now we need " baffles"? Which ive never heard of but im just a diy woman! What do i know. My shed comes next week. They build it but we will do the finish work. One thing most important to me is to put wire mesh along the bottom frame and trench it way down and out so no critters can't get underneath! Ive got wire mesh and landscape fabric down already under the gravel pad that was built. But i am envisioning me trying to nail that wire mesh down to that base plate while they are trying to build the shed! That wont work! Ill probably have to wait til they are done and go back up under and do that. Its important or you'll have critters living under it!
