2 of 6 Replacing our Cottage Roof - placing insulation

[danster26]

The R value is a shame, it does work but R20 it is not. Plus you can get the same crap at Lowes for 10 bucks a piece, which is quite cheaper. Buyer beware.

Ok Yes, I love that area, a nice height of land...our cottage is a couple of hours west and south of you, Carnarvon area.

I have to complement you on your cottage, its very beautiful.

I had an thought that I would build a stackwall sauna(a fleeting thought), we went ahead with a traditional frame building for it. Now that I see your building, I am kicking myself for not going that way!

[Spartreeman]

Oh....where in Ontario are you?

[GeraldBoyClassical]

The cottage is near Barry's Bay, about an hour east of Algonquin Park.

[Spartreeman]

So, are you from NY or vermont and this is in Que?

I like stackwall construction, and have use a similar material for insulation on a sauna.......

[GeraldBoyClassical]

Nope, we're from Ontario and the cottage is in Ontario.  The Canadian head office for P2000 is in Quebec.

I had been kicking my self for not putting down this kind of insulation on a house whose whole roof was replaced. Then I saw someof these panels at home depot but they had a R factor of 15... so I didn't feel too bad... now that I read these panels have an R 54 rating I am again kicking my self.!!!!!!!!

[GeraldBoyClassical]

I did a lot of searching on the net, and spoke with the Sales Rep in Quebec quite a few times before deciding on the P2000. Don't know why your Home Depot would have the wrong R factor, bummer!

Climb up and down the ladder and change shoes some more, that part was funny :p

[GeraldBoyClassical]

yeah, I must have changed shoes at least 50 times that week or Gerald would have made me sweep the roof again
