My shop attic is 30'X32' with a metal roof. The shop ceiling is plywood. When the shop was built in 1982 I blew in 12" of cellulose and now after 27 years it's down to 5". I was up there the other day and after I scanned the attic I wondered what I should do now! I'm in NW Iowa and we get a lot of sweat off our steel roofs, so now there are deep drip lines under the perlins. Under the ridge vent the insulation is really matted down. There is no protection to the north and west so the snow really gets a crack at the north side of the roof. The ridge line goes east-west. A sheet of some kind of insulation under the steel roof would have helped me a lot.
The cellulose insulation in my house attic has been there longer than the shop insulation and it is still fluffy under the wooden roof so the steel shop roof was definitely the culprit. I kind of think blown in fiberglass would have been a better choice, but as far as I know it wasn't available in this area at the time the shop was built.Jim

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
