I just got my shed hauled home yesterday and set in place. It's just an 8 X 8 saltbox shed. Pretty basic. I live in Alaska, last winter we had 3 months of less than 20 below and about 2 weeks of less than 30 below. Insullation is a must!!
I was thinking since the floor is just sheets of plywood that I can lay the styrofoam type insullation sheets down and then a 2nd layer of plywood with vinyl or linolium on top.
For the walls I was going to either staple vapor barier to the inside edge of the studs and pour in the loose stuff (recycled "stuff" that has been processed for insullation) or I could use the batting type... either way I will hang some sheets of plywood on the inside so the chicks can't get to the insullation.
I don't know much about construction so I am just guessing this will work... I'd love some input from anyone in the know.
Thanks,
Michelle
