Awesome video. I'm a senior who has been finishing my basement. The project is in year 2 and progressing well. The tips for bat insulation were great, especially the splitting behind wire, shaping around outlets, filling holes in studs from wire pass throughs, taping and how to staple. fantastic tips that I didn't know. Thanks
I really learned a lot from these guys about putting in insulation. It’s something I’ve never done before, but I’m willing to learn and I’m gonna do it by myself.. thanks for the help
Currently starting to set up my own hangout area in my garage. Putting up insulation and drywall in there but, I’ve never done either before. Sat down and watched this for tips and a beginner’s how to of sorts. Worked perfect for me and is a great video for novice people like myself! Will definitely be checking out more videos to help me along the way!
Im remodeling my house. I needed to learn how to set up the insulation on the walls and roof. Thank you for your advice and I see, it's easy to install the insulation. I'll do it for myself because i was waiting for my brothers to do it. Thank you again.
Thank you soo much #Winter Warrior. These are excellent demonstrations for installation of insulation on ceiling and walls in your home. Our homes are our Castles 2024 and BEYOND...FOREVER...
Finally someone spilts around wire, great technique! I know its not needed but I tend to foam around the elec box just a obsessive thing lol. Great video.
Thank you fellas for demonstrating on how to insulate both walls and ceilings. I have to do this this weekend as because of old ceiling insulation we are getting condensation and black mould (🤢) on the ceiling and walls in that back bedroom.
Thank you for the great tips. I have watched quite a few videos and I think I am finally ready to handle this job. Putting insulation up on my She Shed. Girl Power!

If you staple inside the stud you end up compacting the insulation around the edges which lowers the R-value. You need the insulation to fully fill the cavity in order to maintain it's full R-value. Staple on the outside of the stud, it's the way to go. If there's a staple sticking out, pull it out and staple again or use a hammer to sink it in.
I could give you some based on your region? My family runs a small insulation business. What're you planning to do? Ceilings? Walls? Vapor barrier? Caulking? Codes vary state by state. I live in Ontario, Canada so we're quiet extreme with building codes
Just as I was puzzling about how to fit insulation around the joists and electrical boxes and wires in my garage, along comes your video. Didn't know what to buy, that you could cut it to fit, that you stapled it in, nothing, so this video was awesome. Thanks much! If you ever address the challenge of trying to insulate around a garage door with the automatic garage door already installed, I'll be sure to be in the audience.
+Valdene Ortiz very happy to help!! If you have any questions please let me know. You might also like our private Facebook group because you can post pictures and get answers pretty quick. It's totally free and a really nice group of people :D facebook.com/groups/hrtcommunity/
Thats a very good video. I was not overwhelmed at all and am more confident about doing this to my outside laundry room. So thank you for keeping it simple and being clear on the how to threw and threw.
Thank you! I’m going to try this on my own in a shed conversion.. this was very helpful. It will be my first time doing something like this and on my own. I thought to hire people but it was way more then I can afford. Thank you!! Hope I am entered into the raffle as well for the $100 because I could really use it right now .. blessings
I am a great fan of You Tube and was very pleased to see this video regarding how to insulate Walls and especially the ceiling. The sound and verbiage were perfect. The sequence was well performed and especially of interest was the JM product and R factor. Thank you very much and now I can go to my local Lowes with knowledge of what to ask for and how to install the same. I am a true fan and thanks. With confidence I will be looking for the next phase of finishing my building.
I’m using johns Manville I’m doing it all myself! Ceilings only after hurricane damage! I find it great for keeping temp comfortable! I did tape the seams with insulation tape! Wiring in the ceiling and pipes are a pain but 🤷🏻♀️ definitely tiring! 64 yr old female here and if I can do it so can you! The cost was to be 13,000 by a pro but I’d have to remove all my furniture myself .. NOOOO I may complete the job for $7,000 including my 3 car garage! R38! It did have R19 in Florida! Next is drywall 🙏
Very clear instructions and demonstration. I feel pretty confident that I can do this project myself, in my new place, which presently has no insulation (or drywall) upstairs. I'm going to need it because I live in Maine. Thank you!
Why would there be "no" insulation in your new home? Did you buy an unfinished home, building yourself, or the builders did not insulate? I purchased a 32' School Bus that they didn't take the time to insulate in "Missouri" (where it snows in the winter! Fortunately, I am in Los Angeles, and staying here until this bus is fully insulated)... Which I find kind of odd, and stupid... When you're taking the time to convert to a RV. So, I'm trying to go back and open up the walls & insulate myself (definitely not as easy as it would've been, when they originally put up the walls). And, I want to do the ceiling as well... I'm a female doing this project on my own 😊 Christina
Hey guys! I know this video it was made 3 years ago, but I do have to say that I haven't found one video like this one on youtube. Great info! Thanks a lot
Thank you for this video! Im looking to insulate my ground floor cold room and i have one row of 8"blocks on the floor and then a wood frame made by 1.5*5.5" studs!! So i have a 1 row of blocks on the ground that's thicker than the frame by 2.5 inches towards the inside of the room. Any idea what to do with this difference with thickness? how to insulate?
Oooooh! Just saw this video..hope I can still win! Just bought our first house and am getting ready to fix up a new art studio... I first need to do the installation!
Do you still put up a plastic vapor barrier over that insulation? I wouldn't think you need it because of the kraft paper but I have been told it is needed.
My husband and I are building a retirement cabin in Wisconsin. Having trouble finding someone to insulate. After watching this, I actually think I could do it myself! Thanks!
Quick question, you didn’t install a vapor Barrier because the paper on the outside on the installation acts as the vapor barrier already right? If I’m wrong then please explain. I’d gratefully appreciate it.
Hi, I'm going to be closing up a sunroom that has no insulation at all. I was planning on insulating the 3 walls with r13 but leaving the attic and floor uninsulated. Do you think this will work out ok? I'm going to be using a portable AC-Heater unit that vents to the outside.
Awesome video! And awesome Vader mug! I've been meaning to tackle putting in some insulation in the space above our master bedroom. It's on the (always growing) to-do list. Thanks and always enjoy your videos. Became a home owner back in 2012...you're my go-to dude!
+truthdrums sweet, thanks. It's an honor to be your go-to-dude...in fact, I might adopt that title. The batts make insulating so much easier. I'd take an entire bag up into the attic if you can. Makes transport easier.
Thank you for sharing this video. I need to have a building code inspector check my insulation install. Your tips looked really professional. I'm sure I'll be fine.
5 years later and people like me are still finding use in this thanks guys!
7 years for me
8 years
Beat me to it, sort of- 8 years later.😅

I think mine in Florida were stapled inside! Maybe because drywall needs to be flush on the ceiling!

Staple to the outside edge of the stud. Tap staples down with a hammer. Much more insulation that way.
Very informative. Thanks
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for this video. I was trying to learn how to insulate my home to save some money. Thank you again! Great tips.
