  • How To Insulate & Baffle A Shed Roof | 12x24 Tiny Home Semi-Off Grid DIY Shed to House Conversion
    Today we take a quick trip out to The Shottages to put in insulation in the boys' bunkhouse. While there, we will cook a simple grilled ham and cheese sandwich over the campfire, eat down by the water, and then get to work. While this is not intended to be "How To" video from a professional insulation installer, I do show how to insulate and baffle our shed roof to allow for adequate airflow from the soffit vents up to the ridge cap. I hope these steps will prevent moisture build up on the insulation and ceiling and, therefore, reduce the chance of mold or mildew growing.

    Stay tuned for more videos each week!

    Good video. I also enjoy watching Tre runs-wild. One thing i noticed on your video is that you stapled the insulation to the 2 inch side of the 2x4 rafter. I believe the standard is to staple it to the inside (4 inch face) so that when you put in the tongue and groove or dry wall, the staples don't push out the siding in certain areas where they arent fully pushed into the 2x4. Stapling into the inside of the 2x4 gives your siding a flush mount. Probably not a big deal but something i learned. Tre runs-wild also did the staples the same way you did

    • @mehardies3999
      @mehardies3999  2 года назад +1

  • @mrmotofy
    @mrmotofy 2 года назад +3

    There wasn't any mention or discussion of the vents needed at the soffit area unless I missed it. The air needs to go IN the bottom then flow out the top ridge vent essentially natural convection. The paper facing is also a bad vapor barrier. Really a better idea to use unfaced insulation and plastic. Tape around everything. There's vapor liner things for the electrical boxes etc. Over lap the joints 12" and tape it. Otherwise the warm moist air can still leak up in there creating problems. The idea behind the vapor barrier is a continuous sheet to stop the water vapor from passing through it. The wall covering doesn't do it. The holes and gaps of paper facing doesn't do it.

    • @mehardies3999
      @mehardies3999  2 года назад

      Good tips! We do have soffit vents, so that should help with the airflow. I will get the tape, as you mentioned, and tape the seams. Thanks for watching!

    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!
