Ray Cecil Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 One thing I should change, I should move the stove away from the wall a little more. Alright. Going all in on concrete. Ive got mesh, rebar, rebar chairs, ties, 2x4s for forms, vapor barrier, and I shot elevations yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Cecil Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Cool! You are really going to like the new floor. 👍 Also, I know a guy in construction business. He is writting off 100 sheets of 4'x12' durock. Giving me as much as I want!!! So, I will be trying to find some insulation after the concrete and finish the walls out as soon as I can.

I had fiberglass blown in, which stops infiltration much better than batts. But foam is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But closed-cell foam has 3x the insulation value of fiberglass and no infiltration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, figured I would update the garage thread. So, the free durock turned out to be fiberock....I misspoke earlier. 12' sheets of 5/8" fiberock. I got 24 sheets on the trailer and it was screaming at me. Going back to get more tomorrow. Getting a total of 96 sheets!!! Also, scratch the foam board. Same guy is giving me 6" thick insulation. I think its called woolrock or something like that. So this friend of my father, his company is a supplier of drywall and insulation. He had customers who over ordered stuff and never collected it. Thats why he is giving it away. I think there are about several guys getting enough of this stuff to finish their man caves!! Anyway, I might call my uncle who is an electrician and see if he can help me wire up this pole barn before I get busy insulating and finishing.
