The exacto knife bag slice move at 4:30, to a chef's kiss of expansion to two even piles that " I'll just move over here". Haha. Well done sir.
Already two minutes in the video and you've done an excellent explaining the r value and thickness. Most people skip over the "basic" stuff but it's not basic if it's your first time.
Thanks dude!
I've always wondered how to handle the corners, especially in the basement insulation process. Thanks for the extra explanation here.
I'm always grateful for these thorough videos. You give all the tips and facts that I'm usually asking myself. Please keep these videos coming.
I really like how you do your videos. you do a very good job at explaining and showing how to do stuff (in this case put up insulation). keep up the great work!
+TheSlenderSpartan Glad you like them, be sure to subscribe and thumbs up the vids. We have LOTS more in the pipeline.
Your vids have been very helpful to me in the addition I am building. Couldn't get a contractor, all busy, so have to do it myself. So using your vids along with some advice from carpenters I am plugging along fine. Thanks
He actually touch it without gloves.
Great video Shannon...Not too many builders want to handle this type of insulation to do a video. Thank you for sharing your talent and taking the time to show those interested how to properly insulate using the fiberglass pink..I'm scratching just watching you. Dber
I just did this in a very large space with about a minute's worth of guiding first. Now I watch your video! One thing, those extra pieces are handy to tuck into unintended gaps. I was using Roxul.
Well done shannon. You do great work! glad to see your back with videos.
I do not own a home neither make any kind of Howe improvement work, I just like this type of videos. Some how it relaxes me seeing how it all fits well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent instructions. i am watching right now while insulating my internal kitchen walls, thank you!
I will be installing insulation & drywall for the first time, this video and the other related videos have been really helpful; thank you.
You go there and wish you the best of luck. Better you than someone else who just may do a half ass job.
The mock-up for the corner insulation problem was VERY clear. Thanks.
thanks so much for your videos bc I just bought a foreclosure and it seems as if I will have to do most of the work myself
I really like the way you only concentrate on the job,,, some people trying to be funny or add unrelated things in their videos,,,,
You are a real artist, love your video. You explain things clearly! Thanks
Great video... Whenever I do projects I always search for Shannon's house improvement videos... they are the best!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for posting your videos, they are really informative and give me confidence I will do a proper job installing a vapour barrier and insulating my apartment. Many thanks for your time.
Good luck!
I like how you explained that tight corner using a smaller model.
You do a fantastic job with all your vids!
Ty for putting in all the extra work making them
Loads of good info here. Love the no nonsense.. straight forward approach. Thank you !
Excellent video! After 5min I couldn't wait to subscribe.
I especially like the detailed, step-by-step instructions, pro-tips, and no over the top presentation style.
Awesome, thank you!
Good job i volunteered myself for a job like this never having done it before and now I feel confident I’ll do well
Update: It came out great! Emphasis on having a good knife (Long enough to cut through the insulation, not a box cutter) and put a piece of cardboard below where you'll be cutting your insulation so you dont scratch the floor. Thank you again!
Thanks for that corner mock up. I'm doing that in the morning.
Thank you very much for your tutorials. Your videos always provide inspiration for my journey to becoming a practitioner. :D
As always my friend, great video and tutorial. I thank you for your help with all of this vídeos. God bless you and your family and business.
Glad to help
Great video! Thanks! You are very clear, easy to understand, very knowledgeable, good videographer too.
Shannon, I've been putting up some rock wool and I watched a RUclips video where the guy had a long bread knife-looking knife to cut the rock wool. I don't have that long knife but I have an electric bread knife that I bought at Salvation Army to cut foam for a reupholster job I was doing. I used that knife and it worked so well. I could easily cut a half-inch thickness and it was fast. I am sure you know this but I wanted to tell you how good an old bread knife is for cutting rock wool insulation in case you've never tried it.
I have heard of that working well.
Okay, I have something else to tell you that I just discovered. I am pulling out an old cast iron toilet flange and I followed some instructions I've seen on YT about drilling a series of holes in the lead around the circumference of the ID of the flange and OD of the stack. The idea is to use a punch to force out the lead. I was having trouble with that method so I got a 2.5 inch wood screw and drove it in into the lead until about 1/4 inch was sticking above the flange. Then, I used a claw hammer to pry the lead out - in chunks about 2 to 2.5 inches long. I was finished in about 2 minutes. @@HouseImprovements

Great video! Clear instructions and touches on obstacles in walls I need to insulate. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Shannon, big help. Thumbs up...
Super helpful thanks. I’m about to insulate my tiny cabin.
Thank you so much for the thorough explanation! Love your channel.
You are so welcome!
Excellent explanation, thank you
Amazing video tutorial
You are the bomb!!! Very easy to understand!
Thankyou! Good teacher.
Very useful! Thanks!
I insulate the outside corners just before I sheet the outside. Also some walls will get insulated just before sheeting.
You rock! Thanks for the excellent videos.
Me encantan estos videos semefacilita vivircomodo haciendo lo que me gusta muchas gracias por su gran hayuda
Great video guys! thanks!!
Great job!
Super helpful. Thank you!
I also like to use a putty knife to fluff the batts and get them nice and smooth in the wall cavity
Hi Shannon, great videos I learned so many tricks from your videos. Thank you.
I am replacing one wall in my basement because of water damage through the window. Window is now replaced. The house is old and they did not use rigid foam back then. Just fiberglass and vapor barrier. I am in Ottawa Canada, so it is cold here and insulation is important.
Is there a point for me to install rigid foam between the concrete and the fiberglass. Remember I am replacing only one wall of a room. If I use rigid foam for this wall it will be the only place in whole basement. Adjacent rooms even adjacent wall does not have rigid foam. Should I bother putting the rigid foam?
Thanks
Well done Sir. Thank you
This guy is the best. The end blooper was so Canadian I had to laugh.
Very well done!
Thanks so much!
thank you! and Very nice video! now I feel %95 confident I can do it myself. ha! ;-D
Awesome, good luck!
Great video thanks!
*Very informative* 😀👍
Very impressive.
I put batt with a paper barrier in my shed and galvanized corrugated tin on the in side so the edges are not completely sealed I just didn't know if that would let to much fibers in the air opening and closing the door?
Great videos!
Great video without over explaining
Great video!
Thank you!
would be interested to see you do something on a bonus room. Have a knee wall and ceiling to insulate in finish out in our house. I have installed batt insulation before but wondering if i need something different for the ceilings and some say do an air gap others say you dont' need one.
+Zach Scott use my forum for questions please.
Awesome video
Great video, thanks.
You bet
I cut using 7" kitchen knife. Works great for cutting thicker
well worth watching!
good video, but I can't say that I 100% agree with you corner tutorial near the end... only because most DIY people would frame a corner like that, long before ever even thinking about insulating... and would be forced to remove a stud in order to insulate. a better corner framing method (L corner) would allow for full access for insulation at a later time.
Or maybe use spray foam in that one cavity?
Thank you 🙏 Gad bless you.
Awesome vid! Thanks Shannon.
I'm working on a basement and trying to figure out if I should add more insulation where my framing studs sit 3-4 inches from the wall (the walls aren't very straight) or just leave an air pocket between the wall and the insulation. No idea if there's ever been water/moisture issues in the house, and I can't decide whether the air pocket would help mold grow, or eliminate it because there's a pocket to dry the moisture from the walls. Any ideas?
Not an issue ,but you could install R20 insulation instead of R10 since you have the space
nice video, do you have a follow up on putting up the plastic ?
18:31 famous last words.
Hi Shannon, Question, if you were RE-insulating, how would you handle that corner?
I just joined your website but couldn't find my topic when I did a search. Question...I bought an old home in northern ontario where it gets damned cold! ...-40 in jan/february...I have a cantilevered mudroom on the front of the house with asbestos insulation packed into the rough cut 2x4 outside walls and shiplap 1x6 boards on the inside walls. The problem is the floor...no insulation! The floor is about 2 1/2" below the doorstep. The floor joists are rough cut 2x8s. I can crawl under and insulate/vbarrier the exposed underside or do what I did to my back mudroom...rip 2x4s
1 1/2" , nail them down at 16" centers, insulate with roxul and vbarrier, then put 1/2" plywood and laminate flooring down. It works and looks great but not much r-value! Should I crawl under😠 and insulate the bottom side? I'll get the r-value but what a pain in the ass!😠😠😠 Thx
You are great 👍
Very nice
thxs
God bless you 💕🌹
Making insulating pole will make the job 10 times easier. And measuring you can insert the fiberglass and see if you need to cut it or not along the studs by following the fiberglass in half and then cut along the studs the width that you need by eyeballing it which is effective and 10 times faster
What type of insulation should I use for central Florida wood shed? And if which side faces wall? Thanks
Great videos Shannon! Very helpful for me!
Enjoyed the blooper
No obnoxious bullshit just the info I needed. thanks
Thank you so much for this great video. I learned a lot from your channel.
In my basement, the builder covered walls with a thick blanket of Batt fiber glass and vapor barrier. Would you recommend that I should remove it and start with the foam and proceed as you showed in this video ? My home was built 7 years ago
Thanks again
I have the same situation and cant find a proper answer. THe builder istalled the yellow batt insulation throughout the basement walls with a clear vapor barrier plastic over it. Not sure if I need to remove and frame walls and then put newer insulation and just dry wall over it without the plastic barrier? what did you do?
Nice work! I'd hire you.
I usually use the paper sided fiberglass when I don't use solid open or closed cell. But it looks like I've never done the fiberglass right...
Thank you for this video. I am building the external walls and windows around my porch. Question: do I need to install the vapor barrier above the fiberglass insulation? This porch will have the door and there is another door to the house. This porch will not be heated and the external walls will be made from the OSB and siding and the internal walls from the plywood.
I would , it will stop drafts if sealed properly .
What could I use to stick the insulation to drywall as my beams are too far apart?
