The exacto knife bag slice move at 4:30, to a chef's kiss of expansion to two even piles that " I'll just move over here". Haha. Well done sir.

Already two minutes in the video and you've done an excellent explaining the r value and thickness. Most people skip over the "basic" stuff but it's not basic if it's your first time. Thanks dude!

I'm always grateful for these thorough videos. You give all the tips and facts that I'm usually asking myself. Please keep these videos coming.

I've always wondered how to handle the corners, especially in the basement insulation process. Thanks for the extra explanation here.

Excellent instructions. i am watching right now while insulating my internal kitchen walls, thank you!

The mock-up for the corner insulation problem was VERY clear. Thanks.

Great video Shannon...Not too many builders want to handle this type of insulation to do a video. Thank you for sharing your talent and taking the time to show those interested how to properly insulate using the fiberglass pink..I'm scratching just watching you. Dber

Your vids have been very helpful to me in the addition I am building. Couldn't get a contractor, all busy, so have to do it myself. So using your vids along with some advice from carpenters I am plugging along fine. Thanks

I really like how you do your videos. you do a very good job at explaining and showing how to do stuff (in this case put up insulation). keep up the great work!

You go there and wish you the best of luck. Better you than someone else who just may do a half ass job.

I just did this in a very large space with about a minute's worth of guiding first. Now I watch your video! One thing, those extra pieces are handy to tuck into unintended gaps. I was using Roxul.

Excellent video! After 5min I couldn't wait to subscribe. I especially like the detailed, step-by-step instructions, pro-tips, and no over the top presentation style.

Update: It came out great! Emphasis on having a good knife (Long enough to cut through the insulation, not a box cutter) and put a piece of cardboard below where you'll be cutting your insulation so you dont scratch the floor. Thank you again!

Excellent presentation! Thanks for all the great tips.

Super helpful thanks. I’m about to insulate my tiny cabin.

Thank you for detailed explanation. Appreciate the great work!

Awesome job on the instructions, very clean job.

Hi Shannon, great videos I learned so many tricks from your videos. Thank you. I am replacing one wall in my basement because of water damage through the window. Window is now replaced. The house is old and they did not use rigid foam back then. Just fiberglass and vapor barrier. I am in Ottawa Canada, so it is cold here and insulation is important. Is there a point for me to install rigid foam between the concrete and the fiberglass. Remember I am replacing only one wall of a room. If I use rigid foam for this wall it will be the only place in whole basement. Adjacent rooms even adjacent wall does not have rigid foam. Should I bother putting the rigid foam?

Very impressive.

Thanks

Great video thanks!

Thanks so much!

I also like to use a putty knife to fluff the batts and get them nice and smooth in the wall cavity

Great video, thanks.

Great video without over explaining

Shannon, I've been putting up some rock wool and I watched a KZread video where the guy had a long bread knife-looking knife to cut the rock wool. I don't have that long knife but I have an electric bread knife that I bought at Salvation Army to cut foam for a reupholster job I was doing. I used that knife and it worked so well. I could easily cut a half-inch thickness and it was fast. I am sure you know this but I wanted to tell you how good an old bread knife is for cutting rock wool insulation in case you've never tried it.

Okay, I have something else to tell you that I just discovered. I am pulling out an old cast iron toilet flange and I followed some instructions I've seen on YT about drilling a series of holes in the lead around the circumference of the ID of the flange and OD of the stack. The idea is to use a punch to force out the lead. I was having trouble with that method so I got a 2.5 inch wood screw and drove it in into the lead until about 1/4 inch was sticking above the flange. Then, I used a claw hammer to pry the lead out - in chunks about 2 to 2.5 inches long. I was finished in about 2 minutes. @@HouseImprovements

Me encantan estos videos semefacilita vivircomodo haciendo lo que me gusta muchas gracias por su gran hayuda

I put batt with a paper barrier in my shed and galvanized corrugated tin on the in side so the edges are not completely sealed I just didn't know if that would let to much fibers in the air opening and closing the door?

Nice work! I'd hire you.

You are great 👍

God bless you 💕🌹

nice video, do you have a follow up on putting up the plastic ?

Very nice

great work brother thank you for sharing

18:31 famous last words.

I cut using 7" kitchen knife. Works great for cutting thicker

Hi Shannon, Question, if you were RE-insulating, how would you handle that corner?

SHANNON, YOU MAKE ME WANT TO BATT INSULATE EVERYTHING!!!!!

I just joined your website but couldn't find my topic when I did a search. Question...I bought an old home in northern ontario where it gets damned cold! ...-40 in jan/february...I have a cantilevered mudroom on the front of the house with asbestos insulation packed into the rough cut 2x4 outside walls and shiplap 1x6 boards on the inside walls. The problem is the floor...no insulation! The floor is about 2 1/2" below the doorstep. The floor joists are rough cut 2x8s. I can crawl under and insulate/vbarrier the exposed underside or do what I did to my back mudroom...rip 2x4s 1 1/2" , nail them down at 16" centers, insulate with roxul and vbarrier, then put 1/2" plywood and laminate flooring down. It works and looks great but not much r-value! Should I crawl under😠 and insulate the bottom side? I'll get the r-value but what a pain in the ass!😠😠😠 Thx

What type of insulation should I use for central Florida wood shed? And if which side faces wall? Thanks

thxs

Awesome vid! Thanks Shannon. I'm working on a basement and trying to figure out if I should add more insulation where my framing studs sit 3-4 inches from the wall (the walls aren't very straight) or just leave an air pocket between the wall and the insulation. No idea if there's ever been water/moisture issues in the house, and I can't decide whether the air pocket would help mold grow, or eliminate it because there's a pocket to dry the moisture from the walls. Any ideas?

Not an issue ,but you could install R20 insulation instead of R10 since you have the space

What could I use to stick the insulation to drywall as my beams are too far apart?

I insulate the outside corners just before I sheet the outside. Also some walls will get insulated just before sheeting.

would be interested to see you do something on a bonus room. Have a knee wall and ceiling to insulate in finish out in our house. I have installed batt insulation before but wondering if i need something different for the ceilings and some say do an air gap others say you dont' need one.

+Zach Scott use my forum for questions please.

I have an unfinished garage with stucco exterior walls. I want to insulate it but I'm not sure which type to use? The stucco also has this paper on it.

Do I have to cover with plastic sheet after placing them?

Shannon, i really like that long bladed knife you have that cuts that insulation like butter! we have to do a whole house! What knife is it and where can we get a couple? Thanks! Love your video's.!
