Theater 2.1 project - Demo

[aelius27]

Today I removed the trim around the base of the theater room closet, and the wall the closet is in. Then I also removed all the drywall from the inside of the closet, and the wall that the closet is in. It's currently in a huge industrial pile in the middle of the floor. I'll try to remember to snap some pictures tomorrow and get them up

I recommend against fiberglass, cellulose, or anything else that is turned to crap by moisture, in that location. A look at the remaining options will show that you don't need extra thickness to get the same R value with those as you would have from 3.5" of dry, airtight, moisture tight fiberglass. If it's wet and/or air can flow through the space fiberglass is useless.

The upside of buying fiberglass is that it's cheap. The downside is that you get what you pay for.

One of the various magazines that I've been subscribed to over the years had a big article in it. They recommend the following procedure that I was intending to follow

1) 2) 3) 4)

That's not a bad way to go. You could also try a spray in place polyurethane. There are a few different kinds, and several diffent weights.

I just read a bunch on insulation. Closed cell spray on insulation would be awesome, especially since it comes in soy-based these days and therefore much greener. Too bad you can't install it yourself...

Hum.
