Hi. I live in Northern Lower Michigan along the lake Michigan shoreline. I have a 30 x 40 pole barn that is 6 years old. I am (finally) /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif getting ready to wire and insulate it. The question is: What is the best way to insulate the building??
We get a lot of Lake Effect snow here, and the temperatures can dip to -20. However, the typical winter day is between 10 to 30.
I have yet to see a consensus on the best approach. I intend on walling off a 16 by 30 area for a wood shop and use the rest for storage and workshop. I want the whole thing insulated, but it could be that I use different techniques in the different areas.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Let me know what did or did not work for you.
Thanks
Ed
