This morning it’s dull and dreary and raining steadily. Most of the leaves are down from our big backyard maple. Soon it will be raking time.
Yesterday, MY Jane was feeling a bit under the weather so she stayed home while I took Ted shopping. By evening, though, Jane was feeling somewhat better, but not 100%. Hopefully today she will be back to her usual self.
I have been wanting to insulate our garage so I can start doing woodworking again. I called a couple of places for quotes on getting spray foam applied and it would cost around $1000. One advantage to doing it this way is that I would still have some place stash stuff like tires. Also, I would not have to disconnect (and later reconnect existing lights). The main advantage, though, is that I would only have to insert regular insulation at the soffit openings. Translation….minimal work by me.
The other option is to install ceiling dry wall and then have insulation blown in much like is regularly done in regular homes. To do this, I would need to install strapping, vapour barrier and then get the 4 x 8 sheets of dry wall up to make the ceiling. This involves a lot of work and I would need extra hands to do this, but it would probably be about a quarter of the cost. I’m still mulling this over as I write my daily blog.
What would you do?




If you choose the drywall option and need help let me know. I have a drywall gun as well.
