@wildadventures4173 thanks! I appreciate it!

@anonymousworldwide777 the paper should always face the heated or finished area. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!

​​@@HermanWoodworkswhat if you have both sides heated? My garage will have some heat/ac and the room above will also be heated/ac. I'm notnsure if I should put the paper facing down into the garage or up against the floor of the second floor. Thanks

@paulpaul1815 if you are climate controlling both sides, then the paper isn't as crucial. I guess my only other question or comment would be, does either side have the potential for vapor fumes or such. Because the paper is technically forming a light vapor barrier. So that could be a deciding factor to protect the other side from vapor pass through.

@@HermanWoodworks my gut tells me the garage would be more suseptible to dampness and vapor since it's at ground level and has a concrete floor which holds moisture. So I'm thinking for the ceiling of the garage I'd put the paper facing down into the garage. The garage needs full 5/8 sheetrock for fire code. I just don't know of anyone who has done it that way. The second floor will be much more climate controlled than the garage as it will only see two small ducts coming down from the second floor. I guess I can just get unfaced and then I won't have to make a decision. I just don't want a moldy ceiling in the garage.

@ronoberleitner7547 thanks for watching! Yes, unless the code in your area is different. Either slice the batt to the depth the wire is and let the wire go right into that cut line. Or cut the batt to the right depth above or below it and peel some material back so it can drape behind the wire. Ultimately your trying to avoid any compression of the insulation, otherwise it isn't doing its job. Having some insulation between the wire and outside wall also gives you better fireproofing. I also did a video on ceiling insulation where I had to deal with wires running across bays. Thanks again and let me know if you have any other questions!

@mikeludwig4315 they have been amazing so far! I'm just mad I waited this long to install them! Thanks for watching!

@triciahill216 I usually get a large number of branches on the ground before I get the tractor and chipper fired up. It is really surprising the amount of material you can chip in 2 hours.

@triciahill216 I recently did a lot of chipping with it, clearing for a pond. One of the trees removed was a 24 inch at the base cottonwood which stood approximately 60 feet tall and was in the open by itself, so it had a good deal of small branches. I sent everything under 8 inches through the chipper in under 2 hours... let me know if you have any other questions. The Woodmaxx has been a absolute trooper for me!

@mnotlyon I love it! The Lock N Lube grease coupler was a drastic game changer for me! I wasted alot of grease with the stock fitting they give you. I guess that company also makes a pressure return valve that you can install on most grease guns also. Lubing the tractor has become alot more enjoyable and way less messy! Thanks for watching!

@rogered5499 my plan is to build a small headwall to lay the poles on and avoid that ground contact like you said. Plus I know the kids are going to want to be able to go under the bridge and explore...lol. Thanks for watching!

@@rogered5499 I had to drive around to the other end of the trail and come in from there. I still need to finish this project. Soon!

No problem! Thanks for watching!

I'm almost positive you can not...I believe they are plastic molded. I'll check later to verify.

Sorry to hear that! How wide is it from center of stud to stud? Sometimes wide batts will have a hard time. I had one time where we sprayed on spray adhesive to the insulation and applied new paper or vapor barrier. Someplaces allow poly vapor barrier. Is it wood studs or metal? Hopefully I can help answer your question! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!

I have for sure! Gotta keep a hand on the feed bar, run it slow and let if eat! Most of the time it is soft wood, if it were a hardwood, I would just turn it into firewood. I have been doing alot of spring cleanup this year and thinning out small trees for my maple sugar bush.

I may have not shown it in the video, but I usually slice the insulation slightly above and below the horizontal 2x4s. You are correct. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. I did another video on ceiling insulation also. Thanks for watching!

I didn't get to do a cut amount comparison, but I've used both batteries with the saw and they both perform well. Since the initial review I have also used a friend's Milwaukee and a dewalt 60v. Honestly the Milwaukee seems like a solid unit. I dropped a 40 inch oak and did all the main stuff with my stihl saws, but we did alot of the limb work with the Milwaukee. My answer would be if your just doing some light clean up or some light firewood cutting, the Ridgid does well. If your going to use more extensively, the Milwaukee may be a better option. Do you already have Ridgid batteries? Also, whatever you decide on, check on home depots website. They seem to run package deals that are better than in-store options. Milwaukee even came out with a top handle saw. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!

They were 3/4 inch thick. They were suppose to be 5/8 but I left them a little thicker.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the quick reply. Great video!

@markkielman4777 no problem! Thanks for watching! Are you making some boards? Ceiling or flooring?

@@HermanWoodworks thanks again! This is awesome! It’s for the ceiling. Any other information or suggestions you have through your experience would be great. Curious what shaper blades you used. I don’t have any, am in the process of getting a planer. To be honest your video gave me the energy to get moving on this.

@markkielman4777 I'll check on the shaper cutter I used. I picked up the shaper and cutters used from Facebook marketplace. It paid for itself immediately on this job! Let me know how your project goes!

Thanks for watching!

My absolute favorites, family and the forest!

Northeast Ohio....they are screaming here today again! It got to 65 degrees today and they are loud! Thanks for watching!

I run a 25 inch bar on my 461 with a full chisel chain. It has been a real trooper for me!

I wrapped the outside with Tyvek also. The building was a thermos once I did the ceiling.

I've learned a decent bit in the 3 years of doing it. Let me know if you got any questions! Thanks for watching!

Yeah I believe the ryobi is a clone of it. They arr great in a pinch for sure. Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear it helped! Thanks for watching!

It will be hard to get a board that's equal width the length of it. If your router has a guide edge attachment, you could set it to the width you want and hold the guide to the first straight edge you routered.

I felt like it was decently efficient. I ran it about 6 hours and it probably used 2 or 3 gallons.

@@HermanWoodworks thanks!
