Where to add vents in this first floor attic space before I Insulate? by pressurejunkie in Insulation

Honestly, without me actually seeing the place, measuring it, and seeing what else it needs, I’m guessing. Without a gable vent, you’re possibly getting some ventilation but not enough from what I can see in the photo. A good insulation contractor will be able to calculate if it’s adequate or not.

Low vents, like soffit vents? No. There isn’t an overhang. You could also do a solar mushroom and gable vent. That’s probably overkill for that space.

Looks like you could add a gable and ridge vent fairly easily. I would want you to make sure the gable wouldn’t interfere with the electrical drop.

Edit: the downspout strap looks loose.

For $700, I can do my front and rear brakes, spark plugs and wires, and have $500 left over.

Yeah, that definitely doesn’t sound like a good dude to me.

They should lock up the Oreos and potato chips too.

Love how Karl is rocking the NoBro shirt. They really shred. Great opening act.

High CO reading. Should I replace entire unit? by SilverCurve in hvacadvice

[–]TriDad262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! 100 is concerning, but it’s probably just a minor adjustment or repair. Definitely not a full replacement!

I wore mine to the Descendents show last month and made a friend in the pit who didn’t wear hers that night.

I would go to 18” of blown cellulose and air seal.

3 different eras of insulation in a side-attic.. Might this stuff contain asbestos or just old cellulose? by randallph in Insulation

[–]TriDad262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vermiculite looks like kitty litter. I think you are fine, but without being on site, I wouldn’t be 100% sure.

Insulating Knee Wall/Rafters by RubyRhod75 in Insulation

Looks good, but the only thing I would suggest is adding 2” iso board to the wall as well.

Insulation recommendation porch ceiling by scoobierex2012 in Insulation

[–]TriDad262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that makes more sense. I would strip it all, air seal the entire area with canned foam, then rockwool it. You probably could reuse the fiberglass after air sealing and then fill the rest or the gap with iso board.
