my free-standing garage is separated into three walled-in rooms, so to
speak, and i want to convert the middle room, which is 14 x 14, into a
studio for my girlfriend.
The two inside walls (ie the walls b/ the two other rooms) are wood
boards on the studio side and open 2x4s on the other side. if i use
kraft-faced insulation, do i put the paper facing the studio side with
the pink facing out into the two outer rooms?
also, what might you recommend me covering the insulaton with in
those two walls? i was thinking that something like pegboard might be
the cheapest and easiest for me, since i have no skills whatsoever.
next, there's an attic over the ceiling and i don't use the attic for
anything. can i just lay insulation down on the ceiling board?
finally, the room has a cement floor. what do you guys do about that
in colder climates? I'm in rhode island. someone told me to put down
sleepers, fill in with insulation, cover that with plywood, etc; but
that seems a little much. so: how much cold will come in through the
ground, do you think?
thanks!
