Those strips on each side of your insulation; are to staple onto your ceiling beams which will totally close in your ceiling to keep the cold and heat from coming in. Pushing in the insulation between beams; does allow it to give you its Full protection; because it compressing it.
In addition, the strips on the kraft paper are used for a continuous vapor barrier (retarder) when stapled and sealed against the edges (the side facing the interior) of the joists or studs. When they are not, most likely mold will develop. Compressing of fiberglass will lose its R-value. These are well known facts.
We debated stapling to the end vs the inside edge. I read a number of opinions from people saying that, yes, you get a better moisture seal by putting the barrier continuous, but also heard others say that by leaving the joist exposed it gives you a better visual cue for more accurately hitting the joist when securing drywall, or in our case shiplap. The insulation wasn't compressed at all as we added furring strips to the ends of the rafters so there would be an air gap to keep the roof vented.
Glad the ducks have a new home. Thank goodness for projects that move quickly. Glad you didn’t have more damage to the insulation. Next time you build a house maybe building the out building for storage of materials first is the way to go??
It’s such a great park! Barely any people in the morning and throughout the winter. We get such a beautiful dog walk spot. On the weekends in the spring, summer, and fall, though, it’s packed!! Lots of kite surfers on the weekend which are fun to watch.
I do like the rockwool product better, but the fiberglass is what came with our kit and we didn't feel like replacing all that with product that we would have to pay for out of pocket.
Hi Guys, Do your building regulations require you to tape all the joints, here in the UK it's the following Should insulation joints be taped? None of that can happen without proper seals across insulation seams. Sealing those seams also keeps moisture from getting into the building or home. Without those sealed seams, there can be a lot of issues such as damaged walls and mold to contend with. That is why choosing the right seaming tape is so important..
I would have loved to do spray foam insulation, but here were a couple of issues. 1. The cost is considerably more than using fiberglass batts. 2. Our plans and design called for a ridge vent that allows the roof to breath. So there is actually a few inch gap between the insulation and the roof decking that allows hot air to escape.
It was our mistake for sure. We stored it so early on when we moved here that we were more worried about mouse damage so we missed some things to keep it dry. Now we know better.
We dried out what we could, BUT some of it was so wet it was compressed, stiff, and hard once it dried. It was totally our mistake on how we had stored it.
great job. and love the Duck Inn. They are obvious lucky Ducks.

You did so great on your insolation.
Yeah! Congratulations

Next time we build a house 😂
Fun times!
Pretty cool 😎 things are moving on quickly 😊 soon getting into the most exciting things💫🤗
Sounds so much less echoey with the insulation up 👍
And those ducks, awwww soo cute
We didn't even think of that, but we noticed it the other day when we were up in the loft. It's lie a recording studio now. LOL.
Very great progress my friends. Sending much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ 💕 ♥ 💗 💙
Thank you. We were pleased with how quickly were able to make progress on the insulation. Now on to the highest portion to finish it off.
Wow , A big moment for sure! And you guys get to do something different than plumbing!
YES! That is actually the most exciting part. Both Sara and me are very excited to be working on our interior walls.
"Owen & our son Ryan" whoopsie 😂🤣
Who amongst you has never called someone by the wrong family name………….. ☄️🥇🥌
@@private15 I've done it with my pets! Called the rabbit the cats name, and vice versa 🤭
😂😂😂 I watched that a few times and didn’t even catch it. My mind is full of a lot! 😂😂
Did you get any guidance on the insulation? Taping joints and ends would prevent insulation bleed
Thank you for the tip. We’re definitely looking into this to see if we need to add the tape for our building regulations.
Hello how are you and nice video 💯
the house is looking great so keep going
Thanks so much Wade.
My hand aches remembering that manual stapler.
We have an electric one too, but sometimes that is a pain to bring up onto the ladder. We broke one stapler in the process already.
I know that park!!!
It’s such a great park! Barely any people in the morning and throughout the winter. We get such a beautiful dog walk spot.
On the weekends in the spring, summer, and fall, though, it’s packed!! Lots of kite surfers on the weekend which are fun to watch.
Pink insulation can stay wet for a long time .water will go through ruxol green insulation.
I do like the rockwool product better, but the fiberglass is what came with our kit and we didn't feel like replacing all that with product that we would have to pay for out of pocket.
Question I have is where is your ventilation that goes behind the insulation so that you have air flow all the way to the ridge opening in your roof?
We actually added during strips onto each one of our rafters so there would still be at least 2” of airflow.
Vad har ni tänkt att ha för isolering i Golvet ?

Thanks for the tip John! We’ll definitely check with our building codes for this.
''Thats for plumbing, lets not talk about that again.'' Hahaha, over the plumbing much. Brilliant
YES! We still have a bit of PTSD over plumbing if you can't tell. LOL
❤😊❤😊❤😊
Would do it all again if you had a choice ??
I (Sara) am pretty much 95% sure I’d do it again.
Thank you for your reply 🙏
Why not spray your insulation in place ?

Sorry the insulation got ruined
It was our mistake for sure. We stored it so early on when we moved here that we were more worried about mouse damage so we missed some things to keep it dry. Now we know better.
No gloves or long sleeves for installation? ouch!
Y didn’t You just dry it out
We dried out what we could, BUT some of it was so wet it was compressed, stiff, and hard once it dried. It was totally our mistake on how we had stored it.
Too bad you didn’t know the simple insulation trick when cutting to use a 2 X 4 to compress and make cutting easier
We started figuring that out as we went along farther.
do not like cabin kits they look fake
Sorry you feel that way. We are quite happy with our decision.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid don't get me wrong kits are to perfect they don't look rustic Cheers have a great summer
