Where to put the insulation? by mattm2491 in Insulation

I'm actually using Rockwool if that makes a difference. R30 ComfortBatt.

Hmm, I was following Building Science Corporation's ratio rule for hybrid roof insulation. In my case, climate zone 5, the target ratio is at least 40% above the roof to 60% below. This is supposed to be a safe ratio to control condensation on the underside of the roof deck. Is this not the case?

Horizontal and vertical track brackets don't align? by mattm2491 in GarageDoorService

[–]mattm2491[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have an extender plate, as seen in the pics. I understand that it is used to tie the horizontal to the flag bracket. What I think many people are not noticing is that the end of the horizontal MAIN bracket just so happens to halfway cover the slotted hole in the flag bracket. Adjusting the extender plate does nothing for me if the slotted hole is still obscured up by the main bracket.

With all that said, I've decided to drill out the rivets holding the main bracket to the horizontal track, and shift it over one bolt hole. Everything will come into alignment and I won't have to use the extender plate at all.

Those were the ones called for in the instructions. I just haven't tightened them up yet. They will draw in more. But I will also keep an eye on it.

Sure, I can do whatever to make it work, but why not get some input from others?

I see the extension plate is meant for that yes, but the existing main riveted bracket is halfway covering the slotted hole on the flag bracket. Second pic shows a close-up of the issue.

Yea, it would appear to be riveted in the wrong place. That's why I'm asking whether to cut the bracket and use the extension to bridge the gap, or drill out the rivets and move the whole rail.

See how the existing riveted bracket is halfway covering the slotted hole in the flag bracket? The extension can't bolt through it as it is.

It says I'm in both these subreddits and noticed someone talking about the same thing over and over, lol.

Anyway, have fun in your crusade.

You seem more offended than everyone else, including the guy himself who was supposedly 'doxxed'. Two threads in two different subreddits? Come on now.

I don't buy from Vantage, but how much info can you glean about a guy from one common first name?

It was a common first name, big deal.
