What To Use As A Vapor Barrier in Attic Using Rock Wool
I want to insulate the floor of my attic with rock wool batts. The batts do not come with facing so I have to put down a separate vapor barrier. I live in Boston, MA and want to know what I can use. I also want to air seal the tops of walls and would like to know what type/brand of foam I could use to do this when I insulate? Thanks
Building Science Corp. recommends a Class II vapour (retarder) barrier in your area. You can use kraft paper followed by mineral wool. Or, probably simpler, use kraft paper-faced fiber glass batts topped by mineral wool.
As for the foam, I use a low-expansion polyurethane foam--mostly because I can never judge just how much regular foam to use. Great Stuff is a popular brand.
prolly because folks have different prefrences.
I won't work in an attic with cellulose, because
it feels to me that it gets into the pores of my skin
and I feel gritty dirty for days afterwards.
the fine dust from cellulose plays havoc with my sinuses.
I perfer fg or rockwool. One hot shower and the itch is gone.
personal prefrences. we all got 'em!
chipster..cans of foam (even blue low expansion great stuff) will increase cost quickly. also there is little
control over how well the foam seals..and it breaks down and shrinks over time. what about foam sheathing boards
cut to fit and caulked to fit?
easy enough to cut with a razor knife.
(its what I usually use..I hardly ever use cans of foam)
best of luck.
Why is rock wool such a terrible product? It has an excellent fire class rating vs fiberglass or foam, it does not compress with time and the R value is the same as fiberglass. I have never worked with it; is it more difficult to work with than with fiberglass? I was planning on using the batts. Gee, I did not realize that Great Stuff breaks down/shrinks over time!!! I have thought about foam sheathing boards but it seems like alot more work to fit, cut and caulk. It was a foam installer that suggested that foam sealing the top of the wall plates would be very beneficial even if I didn't get to increase the rest of the insulation at the same time. Is there any other class II vapor barrier other than kraft paper/fg?
Just saying the name makes me want to gag and cough violently. I take a respirator (not a dust mask) when I visit an existing structure in case I run into it. Even a short exposure to it can ruin the rest of your day. If you actually disturb it you will need to change your clothes and take a shower immediately. In my experience, the only substance more aggravating is tear gas.
Fiberglass can be irritating during extended exposure but no way near as much as rockwool. Perhaps some modern versions of it are less irritating but I will not go close enough to them to find out. Let me know how it works out. Excuse me, I'm going to cough now.
I'm OK now so I wanted to add that in the real world only a bathroom with a shower and no exhaust fan would need a ceiling vapor retarder south of Canada IMHO. I would repaint the bathroom ceilings, blow something into the attic (while you are in the Islands) and be done with it.
I went to a home remodeling show last month and spent a long time talking with the rep from the local university extension office. He said that the newest research has shown that in "old houses" (over 100 years) it is best to NOT use a vapor barrier when insulating. I personally have not looked into it much, but his reasoning sure seemed sound. He said that old houses are never air tight and the vapor barrier can sometimes cause water condensation problems since it cannot evaporate from areas where it previously could.
I specifically was asking him about insulating walls, which I know can be problematic with water rot on sil plates due to trapped water vapor. he also recommended including thin PVC tubes inside wall and attic spaces where insulation is added to ensure good airflow.
Anyway - Just a thought
"Chiming in" here just because I wasn't even aware that rockwool came in bats. Maybe that would be better. If you don't ever have to move it around or deal with it, loose rock wool is fine insulation. We were just glad our 1913 house had ANY insulation in the walls and 1/2 story joist spaces and under the rafters. But when we demolished the finished portions of the upstairs in order to rennovate the living space and replace all of the electrical, we removed all the loose rock wool. We DIY demo and I will NEVER forget how dirty that 50+ year loose rock wool was! I hauled 90+ heavy lawn/leaf size garbage bags of the stuff to the dumpster and it was a filthy job. At the end of every work day I looked like a coal miner! It is still in our wall cavities and I'm grateful for the insulation existing there, but I hope we never have to disturb or deal with it again. I'm grateful for the fiberglass and foam we have upstairs now and would never go back to loose rock wool. YMMV.
including thin PVC tubes inside wall and attic spaces where insulation is added to ensure good airflow.
That's ridiculous. The last thing you want in insulation is airflow. This character should go back to school! (Or maybe you didn't hear right?)
I'll stick with the advice of the leading experts in the field.
macv said I would repaint the bathroom ceilings, blow something into the attic
Might be okay. Two coats alone, I recall, brings down the permeability to 1-2.
I've usedROXUL batts. No more irritating than fg. Maybe it's the vaguely feces colour that inexplicably puts some people off. A poor contrast with the cotton candy pink that the fg marketing geniuses came up with.
I think the guy with the old house air leak philosophy is basically saying it is important that the old walls be allowed to dry to the inside and the outside like they always have but that only works for sure in mild climates or if there is no insulation in a cold climate.
With insulation installed in a cold climate, the interior side of the exterior sheathing becomes cold enough for moisture to condense against it before it can pass through to the very dry (in winter) outside. If an interior vapor retarder is omitted, the exterior sheathing must be highly permeable (no, I'm not going to say breathes) and that may be the case with old style horizontal boards or beaver/buffalo wood fiber board.
Omitting the vapor retarder can sometimes work if all the other elements are right but I would add a coat of vapor retarding paint on the interior to slow down the passage of water vapor in the winter in rooms that have a lot of moisture. Think of water vapor as trying to equalize itself just like air pressure only incredibly slower.
For me, the irony of all this is that interior air in old houses in New England is so dry, chairs are constantly falling apart so the idea that moisture would condense in a wall cavity is pretty far fetched except near a shower, a sink, a dishwasher, etc., or if the HVAC system has a really good humidifier.
Roxul batts was what I was considering. I was hoping it would be better to work with than fiberglass ins. It sounds like awlful stuff to work with except it never compresses/loses shape and maintains its R value. Boy, this really gets complicated. What to do?
Why not just use loose insulation sprayed in, as macv suggests?
I did not realize that Great Stuff breaks down/shrinks over time!!!
Nor did I. Perhaps because I can find no impartial scientific studies demonstrating that polyurethane foam does so. On the contrary.
As always, I stand to be corrected.
I don't think you need a vapor barrier in the attic.. You use them in walls on the warm in winter side of the walls so condensation from the inside doesn't travel into your insulation and get trapped between 2 walls making the insulation useless.
In the attic any moisture(if any gets there which is doubtful) will evaporate because there is no wall or barrier on the attic side. In fact there should be no moisture if you have adequite venting in the roof and soffits and the insulation is not jammed over the soffit vents.
Our house is 40 years old. We have no vapor barrier and 6 inches of fiberglass batt insulation above the ceiling and have never had a problem. We live in northern Ontario where we often have temperatures of -30 C or -22F
Bringing back an oldie! But why not? The questions are the same.
From the linked study:
Over the same period, the surface of the concrete on the inside of the insulation showed no evidence of water penetration through the SPF layer
If it had been shrinking or breaking down over time, I'm presuming water would have penetrated to the concrete wall.

After 17 years, Okla. jury to decide woman's fate
MANGUM, Okla. Seventeen years after the wife of an Oklahoma prison warden disappeared with a convicted killer, jurors on Monday finally began to deliberate whether she was kidnapped or ran away with him to build a new life on an east Texas chicken ranch.
Bobbi Parker's long, winding trial took the entire summer to complete. It included nearly 80 witnesses and more than 800 pieces of evidence in an effort to reconstruct their high-profile disappearance on Aug. 30, 1994.
Jurors face one central question: Did she fall in love with now-dead Randolph Franklin Dial or did Dial drug the woman and take her from the Oklahoma State Reformatory as his hostage?
The jury got the case Monday evening and deliberated for about an hour before quitting until morning. District Judge Richard Darby has set aside motel rooms for the jurors during deliberations and is providing for meals.
Because of Greer County's small population, and the fact that the prison is the community's largest employer, it took weeks to pick a jury prior to the 2 1/2 months needed to present evidence.
"I've not been involved in a trial that has lasted this long," said Assistant District Attorney David Thomas, the lead prosecutor. "There are so many witnesses."
After a tip to a television anti-crime show, police captured Dial April 4, 2005, in Campti, Texas, and found Parker working in a nearby chicken house. Both maintained Dial kidnapped the woman, but Oklahoma authorities filed charges against Parker the day before the statute of limitations ran out on a claim that she helped him leave.
As closing arguments began Monday, assistant prosecutor Eric Yarborough said there was no evidence Parker was intoxicated or drugged as defense attorney Garvin Isaacs had claimed.
"The intoxication in this case was love," Yarborough said. "She chose freedom with Randolph Franklin Dial. Was it a good choice? Probably not. Was it a bad choice? Absolutely."
Reviewing photos of items taken from Dial and Parker's mobile home - including love letters, condoms and a sex toy - Yarborough said Dial and Parker lived together as husband and wife. Even before his escape, the prosecutor said, an inmate saw Dial and Parker behaving inappropriately while working "day in, day out" in a prison pottery program she ran from her garage.
Isaacs described Dial as a "sick, sociopathic egomaniac" and questioned why Parker would leave her family, including her two daughters.
"That won't fit. Bobbi Parker isn't' going to do anything that will break up her family," Isaacs said.
Isaacs displayed photos of Parker's family on a projection screen and said she's "a mother who loves her daughters."
Isaacs questioned the testimony of several prosecution witnesses who said they saw Parker and Dial together in inappropriate situations. Those witnesses include former Oklahoma State Reformatory Warden Jack Cowley, who testified he saw Parker and Dial on a front porch swing at the deputy warden's house.
"That didn't happen. She was never on the front porch drinking coffee with Randolph Franklin Dial," Isaacs said.

Want to create nearly 1.9 million American jobs and add $265 billion to the economy? Upgrade our water and wastewater infrastructure. That's the message of a new report released by Green For All, in partnership with American Rivers, the Economic Policy Institute and the Pacific Institute. The Rockefeller Foundation generously provided funding for the project.
It was the "political punt" heard around the energy world. Rather than making a final determination regarding the fate of the Keystone XL Pipeline project, President Obama effectively sidestepped making a decision. Instead, he opted for an unprecedented fourth environmental impact study that would explore alternate routes to avoid the environmentally sensitive Sandhills region and Ogallala aquifer in Nebraska.
The Third Annual Tulsa Pipeline Expo, held Aug. 29-31 in Tulsa, OK, welcomed almost 700 people and 86 exhibitors to an event designed to showcase Oklahoma's leading businesses in energy, infrastructure and construction sectors.
Two Iowa underground construction contractors have teamed to establish a field tiling operation that has adapted global positioning system (GPS) technology to control grade of drainage "tile" they install in state corn and soybean cropland.
Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association is encouraging its more than 9,000 Facebook followers to shoot pictures of water main breaks or repairs in their local communities and submit them as contest entries to win an iPad.
Pipe bursting is a proven method for replacing underground pipelines and is the only method of pipeline rehabilitation and replacement that can increase the size of an existing utility without trenching. This article will discuss the replacement of large diameter pipes.
McLaughlin Group Inc. has announced that Vermeer Corporation, along with Jeff Wage — a veteran professional of the underground construction industry — has made a minority equity investment in the company.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced a commitment to using an integrated planning process to help local governments dealing with difficult financial conditions identify opportunities to achieve clean water by controlling and managing releases of wastewater and stormwater runoff more efficiently and cost effectively.
Insituform Technologies Inc. announced the completion of an internal reorganization whereby a new Delaware parent holding company, Aegion Corporation, has been created to provide corporate and administrative services for its operating subsidiaries (Insituform Technologies, The Bayou Companies, Corrpro Companies, United Pipeline Systems, CRTS, Fibrwrap Construction Services and Fyfe).
New Holland Construction has announced that in North America it will refocus on its strengths: the compact product lines for the landscaping, utility, residential construction and agriculture industries, among others.

Had a hard time locating the house, thanks to the owner's friends who finally came by to lead us to the house. Greatly appreciated.
As it says on the listing, please make sure to follow the instructions exactly, print them out, and print a picture of the house. (website hidden) maps does not always work in Japan, and Japanese addresses are complicated. But if you follow our instructions exactly you won't have a problem!
Reported as of 19-25 Feb post
Puchi's house is perfect if you want a sweet, authentic, and affordable place to stay in Tokyo. Waseda is a surprisingly quiet neighborhood close to Kagurazaka (where many of my favorite restaurants in Tokyo are), and just a short train ride from the more bustling parts of the city.
As our group was two couples, I choose Puchi's house partly because the two floors provided more privacy and space than many other of the Airbnb options in Tokyo. The house was clean, cozy, and well equipped. Be advised, if you are over 6ft tall you will not fit in the bathroom very well.
In Japanese bathrooms you sit on the floor!!! No need to stand at all...we have a little seat to sit on.
The house appearance is not as accurate as in photograph shown. It is too small for 8 people with only 1 tiny shower room, 1 toilet. It should not list to be able to accommodate 8 people. The most horrible thing is the neighborhood. We WERE NOT informed by the host that the house is in a resident area which renting for travelers is NOT ALLOWED (there is an announcement placed on the front door saying that staying in this place as a paying tourist is illegal and they can report to police). We were told not to make loud noise and we didn't but every night we got scolded and punch on the wall from the neighbor even if we only whispered. On the last day the neighbor (male) even came to complain to us and took photograph of us. We were treated like a criminal. The host didn't come to greet us, she only assigned a lady cleaner to come and explain about the facilities. We highly DON'T recommend this place to stay.
As it states very clearly on my listing in this house we must be careful about noise in this house as it is traditional architecture which is not very sound-proof and usually we have no problems with most of our guests. All Airbnb in houses owned by individuals in Japan who don't have a hotel license is illegal. That means most of the hosts here. Having a homestay operation - charging for offering a homestay experience - is legal and that is how Japanese get by it. There are thousands of homestays all around Japan. I told these guests many times in emails the house was too small for them but they pleaded many times to break our rules. We don't advertise this house for 8 people. Our information is (email hidden)ease read the information carefully before you come.
The house is located in a very traditional Japanese neighbourhood, which is a great experience for a (Western) traveller... but seems quite traumatic for the neighbours. The house is great exposure to a traditional Japanese home with small cosy lounge area, micro kitchen/bathroom combination and a large upstairs area with traditional futons that can be divided into 2 rooms with sliding doors.
The property is very well located, with easy access to subway, a manageable walk to the major Ueno Station and lots to do in the adjacent entertainment areas (shops, market, restaurants, arcades etc).
We only had a few days in Tokyo and did little more than sleep at the house, so it was adequate for what we were looking for, but the neighbours' insistence of complete silence upstairs and resistance to foreigners might be limiting for rowdier groups, people with kids or longer stays.
We really enjoyed this cute little spot. It had everything. If you're looking for an authentic Tokyo experience in a peaceful neighborhood this is it
Nice traditional design ..
Staying in this home is a wonderful experience that no hotel can provide. If you are after real japan with a retro-touch I do recommend staying here. Note that despite being a separate house it's more of a size of a studio. And, of course, the house is Japanese and old, that means that you have to watch your head and take shower seated (that is a traditional way in Japan). Doors make noise and it can be very cold in winter inside. Well, for us it was a part of experience. Thank you, Fiona!
Even though, it was only a short 5-day stay, it had been one that was memorable and informative. The location is easily accessible by both JR and Metro, extremely convenient. Steep stairs and small rooms with paper thin walls that one would expect of an old Japanese house, very authentic Japanese, unlike the business hotels that I've stayed previously, making it a wonderful experience. Fiona was such a great host, always helpful and has given me suggestions where to visit. Other guests in the house are just as friendly. I'll definitely return one day. Thank you, Fiona.
Refer to previous review posted a short while ago.
I stayed with Fiona for a little while in a different capacity. She was my host for a couple of weeks while I was in Tokyo. She is helpful and knowledgeable. There isn't a thing you cannot ask, or a thing she doesn't know about.
She even showed us around and guided us throgh the area we were living in. She would also take us out for a traditional evening in Japan. We ate otzumami, or snacks, Japanese equivalent of Spanish tapas, with, of course, warm sake. It was interesting to see how the lokal community lives, how they spend their time after a hard days work. The owner even made a special effort to make something different for us. A great evening.
Fiona knows a lot about Japan, and it feels safe to be able to ask if anything is needed. She will also take time to help you and explain.
I stayed as a guest from Mid-March until the end of April at this house, and had a great time experiencing life in a traditional Japanese home, whilst Fiona was a great host and helped me learn a lot about her own personal experiences with Japanese culture.
To anyone who wants to get to grips with a Japanese house the way it should be enjoyed, whilst enjoying the pleasant company you'll find within, the Puchi Uchi will definitely make you happy!
hi ,i like this place and people,honestly speaking :)
you'd better try to stay here for a while if you don't know anything about japanese life-style.
it's in tokyo,but unbelievable quiet, you'll get both of modern and ancient japan.
host is a gripping person (**)
It's a great place to stay where you'll meet people from all around the world. The location is crazy convenient with alot of quaint shops nearby.
I don't know why Mr. Andy said that, maybe just a misunderstanding between different cultures.
There is Traditional house in the title, right? And this is what a Traditional house in japan is. No bathroom in the building, and share bath water with other people. By the way, people clean their body before get the bath, like hot spring.
As an Asian, I can get the picture form the information. So I think this is just a misunderstand.

This morning, while sipping a coffee purchased at my favorite bakery, I read about Newark Mayor Cory Booker's attempt at the Food Stamp Challenge. To raise awareness of food insecurity among American families, Mayor Booker will spend only $30 on food over the next week, which is about the amount an individual participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly called food stamps) receives. That breaks down to just over $4 per day.
I looked down at my cup, and realized that if I were doing the Food Stamp Challenge along with Mayor Booker, I would have blown nearly a whole day's worth of meals with that one coffee, plus tip.
A sobering thought.
As difficult as it is for SNAP recipients to eat on $4 per day, SNAP lifted the incomes of almost 3.9 million people above the poverty line in 2011, including 1.1 million women and 1.7 million children.
As Congress debates the best way to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff," SNAP and other programs critical to struggling families are being considered for cuts. Though it isn't easy to feed a family on food stamps alone, SNAP keeps millions of Americans from going hungry. Let's hope our leaders in Washington don't forget about them as they work to resolve our budget challenges.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Schneider Wants To Play Thru 2010

from the Detroit Free Press,
Will Schneider continue to smile on Detroit? Maybe, maybe not.
He is eligible for free agency this summer, and so far talks that began during training camp haven't progressed. Schneider has touched base with general manager Ken Holland on the matter and wants to remain with the Wings.
In addition to Schneider, Pavel Datsyuk, Todd Bertuzzi, Kyle Calder, Danny Markov, Kirk Maltby, Chris Chelios and Dominik Hasek are some of the players whose contracts expire in July. Schneider makes $3.3 million this season and given his offensive prowess, especially on the power play, he's guaranteed to draw competitive offers from other teams. The Wings can't bring everyone back, so Schneider could end up finishing his career elsewhere. He is determined to play at least until 2010 in order to have a shot at the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

TKD Pa States competition today. Both Zak & Rhi competing. Anyone who medals is automatically assured their place at Nationals in late June/beinning July.
very nice! I hope Zak & Rhi will do well
Thanks Sarah!
Of course I want them to do well but this time I am conflicted! Black belts are allowed head shots at competitions, and this will be Rhi's first competition as a black belt. I know she is good at tkd but she is also only 10 so i am worried!
Also, It is too hard for my special needs children to attend because of noise, and things…so I have to wait at home for updates.
Pretty pick! Oh my word! Wonderful; but I could not be in your position with Rhi. It would scare me to death. My grandson's play ice hockey. Blake is a goalie. His team went to National competition. That was scarry enough and he had a lot of head protection. I hope she does well. I forget they teach them to defend themselves.
Faith- Thanks! I know she is good, and I am sure she will do fine….but still scary!
What a little brave chickie Rhi is! They need to do things like this to boost self esteem etc….but a pretty girl and a head shot…..makes me cringe….my little Chicklet Rhi….
Yep, Sandra! She wears great padding, and the shots must be carefully showing control- there are lots of regs.
LOL, sure & I am worried for nothing! The other day she came home from karate class & told me she climbed up this tall boys hogu to kick him in the head!
What a Spit Fire, as we say way down here in the South…..
Hey, it's me – good luck to Rhi and Zak again. Just stopped in to check things out. Gotto go work at the church breakfast today. See 'yall.
Thanks Linda! Have the best day today, my friend!!!!
Nice pick Lorrie !!!!
Zak just got silver medal for forms – 2 nd place out of 9 competitors!
Waiting on Rhi's results for forms.
Sparring is in afternoon.
Yeah for Zak!!
Rhi might have medaled- lost points for wrong uniform, still qualified for nationals. Both can compete in forms, Sparring takes place later.
Rhi Got Gold in sparring, zak got a silver in sparring!
Yeah, contratulations proud mom. What kind of special treat do you have planned for them?
Hi, Linda! i worried lots today, I am glad they are done. Erik always takes them out for dinner after competitions. Tonight, they are at TGIFridays.
Sorry I was quiet today, I was a bit worried today, and also have a big headache to show for it!
I was kind of pooped after the breakfast/luncheon too. You are allowed to be quiet sometimes. I like TGIF, but then I like most of those places; that's the problem. We do Applebee's a lot.
I enjoy Ruby Tuesdays- they have an awesome salad bar!
Ours closed down. We have just about everything else you could think of though. We call it "restaurant road" I get the Asian Chicken salad at Applebees. I have a great recipe for asian salad dressing too.
Hi Lorrie, Tell Rhi and Zak congrats on winning medals! That's really something to go onto the Nationals! Rhi must be very proud and Mommy too! Nice pic with winning colors.
Congrats on the children medals, Lorrie
Thanks Linda & Julia!
What a great pick to celebrate your winners — Rhi & Zak!!! Congrats to them both, Lorrie!
We love Ruby Tuesday, too, for the same reason you mentioned — the awesome salad bar!
Thank you Lynn!
A Big Congrats! i think both of them will win nationals too! i wish them both luck!
Thank you! They have a competition the end of the month- Worlds open Competition. Hopefully they will do well at that one too!
Kitty Chicky Girl, do you participate in any sports at school?
Congrats on the medals! I bet they'll do well at the nationals too!!!!
Hi Nicole! How are you? Hope you are doing well! How is school?
Hello! I'm doing pretty good!! I'm busy with school though! I'm submitting an entry (in the form of an exhibit) to the district National History Day competition! I'm doing it on barbed wire: fencing the wild west (since this year's theme is "Innovation in History"). I'm normally not good at history but since I'm already required to do something similar for my history class, I figured I'd go ahead and make it so that I can enter it into the competition–after all…what do I have to lose? (except my day LOL)!
At the end of this quarter, I'll be switching from basketball to volleyball…I'm a little disappointed because it seems like I just started basketball (which is my favorite sport)! Oh well!
And on Saturday…I get to go b-day shopping with my grandma! YAY!
How've you been?!
(I'm realizing that this is a pretty long comment…sorry )
Well, in case I dont see you on again this week- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Super soon
Volleyball is fun too (at least I think so) especially on a sand course !!!! Sand, summer, LOL Dreaming again
Enjoy your shopping trip!!! Hugs
Yes, volleyball is fun too!!!! I like the running/jumping/and "wrestling" the basketball/etc. part of basketball! Volleyball is fun too because we actually play games, basketball is just training for now with scrimmages! And sand is more fun than hard floor because you can dive easier for the ball. I constantly had bruises on my knees from diving for the ball during the 1st quarter!
I certainly will!!!!!!! I'm planning on finding some shorts, short-sleeves, and flip flops (yep dreaming of summer LOL)!
Yes, I think I never liked Basketball because I am so short! In Volleyball, you just have to hit the ball hard.
And of you happen by a bead store
will Grandma be stopping?
Yeah you do have to hit the ball hard LOL!!!
We don't have any bead stores (completely bead) around us, but we have a Michaels around where we'll be shopping! So I'll probably ask her to stop in there, and of course she would!!!
They have some fun beads- i have seen lots of designs in the gallery w/ beads from there.
I know….wonderful huh?!!!!! They didn't about a year ago, but recently (at least this is for the one by me) they added all kinds of really cool gemstones and shells, not to mention nice metal pendants and such!!!! I can't wait to go! I hope they have some sort of sale!
And they have shells, beautiful shells…LOL, summer time dreams…Good times! They have some pretty stones, and some nice brass pieces (at least mine does)
I'm not sure if mine has brass (it has the other things you said)!!! I'll have to looks!!! ME LOVE BRASS!!!
