Insulating the roof is so much fun, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brother my back hurts. I've spent multiple nights in my recliner with a heating pad on my back. I'm not telling my Pain Management Doc what I'm doing as I'm sure she'd have a fit. I'm reusing as much of the old insulation as possible. Having to make multiple repairs on the facing prior to installation. I'm also sure I'm getting in my 10K steps/day with the multiple trips up & down the ladder.
To keep the insulation in place I'm using red rosin under layment paper and lath screwed into the trusses to keep the paper from pulling loose. I was tempted to throw away all the old insulation until I price checked it at Menards, the cheapest local big box store. $20/roll of the 23" wide R-13 insulation. Way higher than the $8/roll I paid for the 15" wide version.
