Bunch of trash comments on here... You crushed this bro, thanks for the excellent video. I'm about to tackle my attic that is very similar and this EXACTLY what I needed. LMK If a part 3 is in the works! I'd be eager to see it. Cheers!
No trash, just facts that can help someone avoid some of his mistakes like putting wires into the ceiling outside a junction box which is illegal and not to code in every state in the union. It's a fire hazard!
I’m just starting a similar process. Wanted to see your insulation details. I’m planning on putting baffles under the roof decking and then R38 bats. What R value did you end up with and was it sufficient for a comfortable living space Thanks.
Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll be redoing the roof anyways and adding some ventilation as well. The ceiling has R19 I believe. That's an older roof, some roofs have 2x6 so if that's the case go with something thicker id say.
Related question, as you mentioned ventilation. I was wondering how air flow in your attic and rest of your house worked after doing the insulation the way you did. I'm curious as to what your new plan. For reference on attic/roof airflow, here's a quick video: th-cam.com/video/slhn9RiqHK0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2PX1UK75T0SBl1uK
Im pretty sure he messed up the insulation process in the ceiling. He should've left a a gap between the insulation and the roof for airflow. The way he did it is suffocating the roof, creating moisture and its a matter of time til it gets full of mold and mildew. Theres no air vent.
i thought you werent supposed to insulate all the joists to allow airflow to go up thru the roof?
Yeah true. But I’m putting a new roof on with metal and air flow baffles.
Just wanted to drop a comment to help the channel bout to start my journey
Good deal! Good luck! Thanks for subscribing!
Dude….You need junction boxes or get pod lights with enclosed junction connectors.
Yeah, I agree. Definitely not an ideal way to make it work.

It is possible to appreciate someone's work and still make helpful life-saving comments.
Awesome work, I will be doing something similar above my garage so this has been super helpful!
You’re welcome! Enjoy and good luck!

Was this permitted work? Id be surprised if that R19 insulation was sufficient. Even in the southeast they require at least R30.
Higher the better, I don’t disagree.
So no batts before the insulation? Not worried about ruining your roof?
I’m redoing the exterior of the roof within the year or so. I do have another roof pitch in the right side.
Why no top plate for your knee wall?
Didn’t think of it at the time.
How many days did it take you to complete the attic?
Well I would on and off so 2 months or so.
Is it unbearably hot up there?
What was your budget for this project?
At the time, 3k
How much did the electrical cost?
Well, did it myself so as much supplies are, $100-200
Wire nuts in a wall?
What do you mean?
Hi, I saw you connect the high hat with some wire nuts and push the wires in the wall without a box I wasn’t sure if that was legal or safe?
@@rigakitit's neither legal nor safe! OMG
@@rigakit9:22 😮
Hopefully he’s pulled them back out and added junction boxes since then.
Shouldn't run ethernet wire with 120 volt electric in a pipe.
No kidding. Not a good combination? Didn’t think of that.
Seriously??!! No part 3??
Ha! I thought no one would ask. I’ll get that one of these days. Learned a lot from it two years later.
