If you used faced batting, why did you put another vapor barrier on top of it? I was taught that using 2 vapor barriers like that is incorrect because moisture / mold will get trapped between them. I’ve always understood that it’s either rigid foam or spray foam and unfaced batting, OR faced batting, OR unfaced batting with a 6 mil plastic vapor barrier installed with acoustical sealant prior to drywall.
Amazing content, i found you randomly on youtube while searching for videos to help with my garage project. This has been really helpful, short, detailed and informative. i took notes and I cant wait to do my own project. Thank you.
I also applied expanding foam along my bottom plate and approx 2 feet up on the studs because of moisture wicking due to snow buildup along my exterior garage wall where the floor is almost level with the grade.
Good job!! And yes don't use spackle, cheaper and easier to use joint compound, spackle is harder to sand. I'd recommend using mesh tape instead of paper, I've done so much repairs on the paper stuff, when I remove the loose paper it comes off with no drywall stuck to it, it does not bond to the paper as good as mesh tape, when I remove mesh tape it is a lot more difficult proving that the grab is a lot better
I’m sorry if this is a dumb question… I was always under the impression insulation was bad to inhale and touch. Should I wear gloves and a mask while installing?? Thanks for the help!! Love the vid
I believe it helps to lower the square footage of the house that has to be documented for total of house. With not completing it can not be counted a square footage of the house I think
As a first time homeowner, this video is very helpful. Some constructive criticism, though. The vertical filming segments are hard to watch. Also the mixing of volumes is all over the place, I have to turn up the volume to hear you speak and then turn it down because the music is way too loud.
For god sake man... tell whomever is operating the camera to stop whipping it around. When you swing the camera so fast, we can't see anything and it makes us sick to watch the video.
Only part i didn't quite understand was the square and lines. You just drew lines down the drywall in a straight line so you would know where to screw? Also, does spackling have to be done? Can i just slap some wallpaper over the drywall and screwheads and call it a day? lol
Yes exactly even if you don't work in the garage the next person will suffer , If the sheet isn't fire rated ,.the slightest spark from a grinder may cause a fire . 5/8 rated is the best , otherwise , great job on the video!
1/2 typically meets code if the opposing side is the exterior of the house, if the opposing side is the interior of the house it’s typically double 5/8 along with the ceiling
This is a great video. Thanks for making it. I have been thinking about insulating and drywalling my garage for a while now. This video is really helpful - very well edited and concise. One question - did you have a heater in the garage when the temperature went from 38 to 54 degrees?
Insulation backing paper typically is placed against the outside wall and protects the fiberglass from being damaged by moisture/condensation that forms there.
Do you really have to add the 6mill plastic vapor barrier in my 2 garage if I live in the midwest and plan on rinsing my garage out often beacuse I like the walls and floor clean. Im just woundering the plastic would act as a barrier to keep moisture in or out of the insulation. Btw I will not have dry wall in my garage, I will be using corragated white panels throughout.
@@jarretgorsh6704 that’s correct. I am insulating my garage walls right now and I asked a contractor if I should add poly even though my insulation is faced. He told me no because you will trap moisture between the two barriers. So you’re faced insulation IS the vapor barrier.
Lowes or home depot offers a 30% discount to those having an account with them. Or you can buy a bulk quantity. For instance...Buy a minimum of 15 rolls in order to qualify for a 30% discount. This option is shown in the aisle where the insulation is sold giving you the minimum you must order.
I am insulating my garage right now with faced insulation. I was told to NOT to add poly to it because it will trap moisture between the two vapor barriers.
What did you do with the garage door. Anything? I see your door is open at the time of the video. I am not using my garage for a car at this time. I just bought rolls of insulation and taped them over my entire garage door. I live in the Pacific Northwest where its not super cold. Thanks for the video
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.
You should not have drove screws in to the point of breaking the paper on the face of the board. You are supposed to use a countersink bit or a drywall clutched screwgun. And you are supposed to hang drywall from the top and work your way to the bottom to prevent gaps. Also if your wall is 9’ you should use 54” board instead of 48”. Unless you’re going to stand it up.
May I ask a question here please? Hope someone reading this will reply. I live in West Sussex, UK. I have a single brick wall shed at the bottom of my garden. Flat roof with plywood and felt on top. I would like to know if I should just build a timber stud wall (with 2x4) and put PIR insulation boards (making sure I leave at least 10cm gap between insulation boards and wall for air circulation), then board it up? Or should I put (attach using some kind of glue?) a breather membrane all around the inside walls of my shed, and then build stud wall and insulate as I first mentioned?? Please reply, and advice would be much appreciated. Kind regards. Jacobs

Hey the paper on the back of the insulation is a vapor barrier, that plastic will bend u over in the long term absolutely zero breathability now for any moisture dude
Tell me more tips please, I am going to put some insulation this coming weekend, , so you don't need plastic when you use the insulation with the paper face facing to the inside , how about the thickness of drywall, it's for a non attached garage, it's separated from house, , i see some people recommending 5/8 , but how about 1/2 an inch?? Would 1/2 inch be ok for a garage ??
did you have good luck getting tight ceiling gap starting from the bottom? It would be so much easier starting from the bottom but I hear you need to start from the top from so many people about to do my garage
Its actually around $15 now at depot/lowes. www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-R-13-Pink-EcoTouch-Kraft-Faced-Fiberglass-Insulation-Continuous-Roll-15-in-x-32-ft-RF10/202585857

You don't counter sink drywall screws. Only tighten drywall screws to slight dimple in paper without breaking through the paper. Otherwise you'll get what's called nail pop a few years down the road. To fix if the screw is drive to deep and tears the paper remove the screw and put it up or down from the tear. the hole then can be dimpled with a hammer and filled over with joint compound during the tapping process.
in my garage I have 2x4 truss's at 24inch center's. Will that support drywall or is drywall too heavy? Is there another option that would be less weight than drywall.

Not sure if you got your answer by now but yes the truss will hold drywall just fine you could even hang sheetrock if you needed to (garage is under a room in your home for fire protection) hope this helps

Check local codes, probably not needed. There are climates where putting one up will cause you problems. Only do it if it's required and necessary, otherwise you'll be doing it again when you find mold.
@@CRYPTOSLO_OFFICIAL hahaha, lol. you have a lot of skills you have to work on. so funny but I enjoyed it, I too want to do something to my garage that look like this. It appears that drywall is the better option then use hangers or shelving to put stuff on and organized. thanks for the video
How much temperature difference did you notice before and after the insulation? I am thinking about doing this as I live in colder climate up north and would love to know the temp difference. Thank you.
The example you showed of a countersunk screw looks like it tore the paper.... Don't countersink the screws!!! They should be flush but any deeper and you break the paper which means the drywall is going to pull off that screw some day.
Very Inspirational. I've purchased all my materials. Insulation, drywall, speakers and a Garage Heater. Now all I have left to do is hire a Contractor to do the install. Lord knows I'm not doing all that bullshit. That's what THEY get paid for. Great Video though. Very easy instructions.
Will mold form with a vapor barrier? I am all new to this and am insulating one garage wall. I was thinking maybe I need a vapor barrier in the corner, especially. The drain pipe is on the other side of the wall and I get spiders. It's not wet back there. I think they come through any leaks through the garage door. I want to do this right, even though my entire house is a nightmare. LOL
I don’t know for sure but it seems like you over screwed the drywall. I think I counted 6 screws in each stud. I’ve always heard 12-16 inches between screws is good.
+reeceddogg no. I actually have a block foundation about 6 inches above the floor slab so drywall doesn't go all the way to floor. Ideally drywall doesn't go to the floor cause if you have water would ruin the drywall . I can send you a picture if you want
Depending on your area, you might not be able to cover that concrete base. For example, my county wants the base exposed so they can see if it meets their earthquake requirements
How much does this run you roughly? I just moved in some fitness equipment in my garage and I'm looking to put up some insulation and dry wall since the winter is coming real soon
Couple hundred. Totally worth it. 20 degree difference. It's not all at once either, I did project over 2-3 weeks so bought materials as I went which softens the blow.

smart and claver
I also applied expanding foam along my bottom plate and approx 2 feet up on the studs because of moisture wicking due to snow buildup along my exterior garage wall where the floor is almost level with the grade.
Can you recommend a brand?
Using faced insulation can you not tape the seams and that itself acts as a vapor barrier?
The paper is the vapor barrier
Good job!! And yes don't use spackle, cheaper and easier to use joint compound, spackle is harder to sand.

What is the purpose of vapor barrier?

Great video. Very well explained and demonstrated. Very easy to follow along for a beginner like myself. Thanks 👍🏽
Kraft paper “and” plastic vapor barrier? Why?
This is such a nice video. Very well edited with information needed. Thank you
Great work what type of insulation can I put on the ceiling of my garage I'm on a budget 😊can I Install the R13 on my ceiling too?
You can buy precut pieces, also makes it easier to cut if you cut from the initiation side up with a sharp utility knife c
lol, Holy hell how many screws do you need in that drywall
LOL!
doing this exact project in the next few months (why do people leave behind exposed garage walls??) thanks for the help!
I believe it helps to lower the square footage of the house that has to be documented for total of house. With not completing it can not be counted a square footage of the house I think
Is it necessary a moisture barrier before the insulation???
Yes. Or paper backed insulation.
As a first time homeowner, this video is very helpful. Some constructive criticism, though. The vertical filming segments are hard to watch. Also the mixing of volumes is all over the place, I have to turn up the volume to hear you speak and then turn it down because the music is way too loud.
Only thing you did wrong was covering the studs with the paper. They are supposed to be secured to the inside of the studs
Are you referring to the vapor barrier film?
No, the side paper is supposed to be tacked to the insides of the studs and not the face where the drywall touches the studs.
For god sake man... tell whomever is operating the camera to stop whipping it around. When you swing the camera so fast, we can't see anything and it makes us sick to watch the video.
Yep, still working on my camera skills. :-)
Yeah I agree. Wtf
John Smith got whiplash n shit
For real, felt like I was watching the Blair Witch Project.
😂😂🤣
Pink panther Isolation used to be cheap wow , $12 a roll?? Now one pack is around $120
Why and when and how
does it matter if you use foam board, and paperless insulation, opposed to fiberglass insulation and vapor barrier?
If your using foam board insulation instead of fiberglass yes you still want a vapor barrier
Only part i didn't quite understand was the square and lines. You just drew lines down the drywall in a straight line so you would know where to screw?
Also, does spackling have to be done? Can i just slap some wallpaper over the drywall and screwheads and call it a day? lol
certainly, straight line for the screws. For sure, you dont have to do the cosmetic part and paint/spackle
Actually there is sense in using heavier drywall; most building codes require 5/8 drywall in garages for fire safety.
Yes exactly even if you don't work in the garage the next person will suffer , If the sheet isn't fire rated ,.the slightest spark from a grinder may cause a fire . 5/8 rated is the best , otherwise , great job on the video!
1/2 typically meets code if the opposing side is the exterior of the house, if the opposing side is the interior of the house it’s typically double 5/8 along with the ceiling

no heater
Dont you need baffles between osb/plywood wall and the insulation??
Won’t the plastic sheeting cause mold down the line. The backing of the insulation is suppose to be the vapor barrier I tgought
I have had zero problems.
Insulation backing paper typically is placed against the outside wall and protects the fiberglass from being damaged by moisture/condensation that forms there.
Yep this is technically wrong. If you have kraft faced you don't use plastic it is the moisture barrier. Mold is likely to form between the two.
Why do you need the vapor wrap, is it necessary?
Im gonna do the same, but i think im gonna skip the heavy dry wall and use old school wood paneling
This is a great video, i learned so much
I've never put drywall or insulation before and i want to do it in my garage. It's literally straight forward
Yep doesn’t have to be perfect
Do you really have to add the 6mill plastic vapor barrier in my 2 garage if I live in the midwest and plan on rinsing my garage out often beacuse I like the walls and floor clean.

Thank you! Deserves a DIY award for detail and great tips 🏆
Thank you for the video. My son and I will be doing this in my garage so can you show how you installed the speaker?
Monoprice speakers. Ran wire at top of drywall behind it
Be aware of the major mistakes, such as depth of drywall screw
you either use paper backed bats OR bats without paper + plastic vapor barrier.
Seems like you've installed 2 vapor barriers.
I think It’s R13 fiberglass insulation roll facing
Exactly, he now has an area between barriers that can get moisture/ mold
@@jarretgorsh6704 that’s correct. I am insulating my garage walls right now and I asked a contractor if I should add poly even though my insulation is faced. He told me no because you will trap moisture between the two barriers. So you’re faced insulation IS the vapor barrier.
Nice work! Can I get some information about the materials you used for the garage remodeling? Thank you!
What kind of staple gun you used???

Yea, may consider doing the floor in pink styrafoam insulation board. You would be surprised at the difference it will make
All your heat will go out through the ceiling. Insulating the attic seems like a must.
I like the speaker idea in the walls, getting ready to do one wall facing the house in my new shed it is code to have it sheetrock

HowHeDoIt thanks for the quick response! Yeah that’s deff on the low side for the size of the job, going to try this out myself!
Honestly, If I had to do over, I would of even put less effort into making drywall "pretty" to save time. Functionality is the goal
You aren't supposed to break the paper when driving in drywall screws. The paper is what gives stability, not the sheet rock.
the bug at 10:04 lololol
Put the board under the insulation next time easy to cut and use a nail at top to hold insulation not tape
Start at the ceiling with drywall always bud.
