Thank you! I actually don’t know since when I had the shell of the building built it was all part of a package. I didn’t think it was that bad honestly and hope to do a video on all the material costs once I’m done. I do know buying from a local metal former saves me hundreds vs buying from a big box store.
I probably didn’t mention it much but no I don’t have a vapor barrier between ceiling trusses and steel. Based on everything I’ve found it’s not required or recommended in my climate zone and blown fiberglass doesn’t chemically react with the steel so no issues there either. I have been in the attic a few times this winter and no moisture or condensation issues even when digging out some insulation when I installed the ceiling fan wood bracing it was completely dry. I do have dripstop on the roof metal. Hope this helps!
I just finished my metal ceiling and the insulator guy who is gonna blow in the attic said that it’s not required in my area as well. Interesting how requirements are different. I’m in NE WA state. Thanks for your reply Joe!
Looking great, has metal dropped in price at all? Fortunately lumber did!

Did you add a vapor barrier before you installed the metal ceiling panels? I don’t remember you saying anything from your last videos. Thanks!
