pardon my typing skills, im left handed and only have use of my right, due to recent surgery.
lookin for hard facts / experience, concerning insulation on new construction. have got started on land clearing and road building to our little slice of heaven to where i'll be retiring to, and seeing my last sunset in deep east texas.
there seems to be a strong push towards this idea of making a house act like an igloo cooler with this closed cell foam insulation.
no ridge vents, no soffit vents. spray foam in walls and on roof decking i believe. no insulation laid between ceiling joists.
from what i understand, you dont seal the living area from the attic, the attic will attain close to the same temp as the living.
i just cant wrap my head around no attic ventitation in the east texas humidity. seems there would be a problem with mildew.
ive spoke with 2 different home owners and they claim its the cats ass. there are custom home builders in lufkin that see it the same........
any y'all have first hand knowledge about it all
