Subject: RE: Today's house project


Faunsdale, AL
The low clearance areas are where the blown in stuff is easier and faster. Plus it covers the joists but I’m guessing you can come back with a second layer running across them if you want to.

I missed spray foam my roof by just a couple years. Had heard of it, even seen it on TV but didn’t know anyone that would do it when we were finishing the upstairs of our 1-1/2 storey 1830’s house. Rafters are about 3” deep and adding much thickness on the bottoms would have really messed with hanging and finishing the drywall, so I cut 3” polyisocyanurate foam and fitted it in the rafter bays. Same for adding anything on top of the decking. Would really have made trimming out the dormers a challenge and the new roof was already on. Spray foam would have been faster and sealed better! Fast forward a few years and one of my cousins’ husband went in business spraying insulation.

I think polyisocyanurate was the highest R per inch at the time and it did cut neatly compared to styrofoam.
