Rigid foam/encapsulation.
Not a lot of height I don’t want to pull the ceiling down 3”. I went through a whole thing where I planned out encapsulating but here it needs at least r48 to avoid condensation and it’s got to be perfect or you’ll get rot. House has survived this long, I don’t want to mess with a good thing. There’s soffit vents and a ridge vent, before I add insulation I’m running the channels up against the roof.
I’m sticking with the mediocre fiberglass because it’s easy to install and good enough. Highest monthly bill is $155, average month is like $35 so there’s no savings to be had. I just, me, personally, don’t want the attic left uninsulated and the batts are falling down after all the bumping from getting a new roof..
I’m not keen on battery tools. I do own a little m12 clutched screw driver and I use it all the time but… I tried using it for doing joist hangers with Simpson screws and life was too short. my little battery isn’t going to run a stapler very long and I need to drive over 1000 staples. Suddenly it’s another $100 for another battery.
Looks like my best choice is a pneumatic t50, they’re like $40-60 and I can up the power if I need to. Question is if the cheap things will jam. If it jams more than a little I don’t want it.
Thanks all seems like 3/8” wide t50 will be great at 1/4” deep for the fiberglass, and 1/2 deep for the channels.
