I am wanting to insulate my 30x30 shop with 2x4 walls on 2 foot
centers. Is there an online source for insulation or is Lowes or home
depot the cheapest place to go. Money is getting tight. I can use r13
or r-19. I live in Kentucky. The winters get cold but it is not like
some of you guys up north. And this is a garage/hobby shop not a place
of business.

Any suggestions? I have done a search and found unfaced r-19 for 30
bucks for 75 square feet but if I am figuring right that comes up to
600 bucks.

Don't use OSB for facing - it's too flammable. BUT, in places where
you know you'll be hanging stuff, you can put OSB or some dimensional
lumber under the sheetrock to use as nailers later.

Tape and mud are a piece of cake compared to what you have accomplished so
far. Besides, it's a shop. I doubt I would even sand them, just use a flat
or eggshell latex.
