Very helpful! I did look at Insulpink but I have not found a place that will sell it...

At least that will sell it in the qty I want/need. Places I have found state I have but it in pallets, which would mean I have a ton of waste. I would rather go with the 1.5 at R 7.5 for the thickness. I'll review the sill insulation as well.

Home Depot has some new stuff call Barracde, had 2" XPS with plywood already mounted. You mount it straight up and away you go. They are supposed to have a primed version soon. Wasn't cheap but the convenience was awesome.

    - I am not planning on using any moisture barrier, heard the same thing - hackths 2014-04-05 22:46:18 (169 views)
      - if you're using XPS, you're using a moisture/ vapor barrier...see my post above. - thinset 2014-04-06 16:52:52 (125 views)
