Ceiling insulation help!
Hi folks! We're In the beginning stages of a complete gut/rebuild, and really just making things up as we go along, lol!
We're about to put insulation in the ceiling, and we're not sure the best and most economical way to go. The space between is about 2" thick, 150 sq feet. Because this is an unexpected complete rebuild, cost is a huge factor - we don't mind using leftover, weird, or otherwise unconventional things for certain aspects of it.
For insulation, the usual cheapest route is the pink roll, but that's too thick for a space that's only 2" thick. We looked at the spray-in foam, but that's hundreds of $... Same with the rigid kind that we pulled out (was rotted and soaking wet...)
So... Should we try to slice the pink stuff in half and use it? Any other thin methods out there we might look into?
