I was finally able to finish the ceiling insulation. Man, what a chore, if I was to do it agin, I'd buy the spray foam kit and save myself about thirty hours of cutting and fitting.
There are at least 8 pieces in each rafter bay and I recut a few of the ceiling pieces that are inside the rafter gussets, using 1/2" and 1" foam board. A few of these spots were impossible to get two 1" pieces to fit. All of the pieces are friction fit but I did use a couple of nails to hold a few panels in their spot.
The really good news is that I ran the heater for an hour, this morning, it read 15 f. This afternoon, with no active heating except the sun, the temp stabilised at 60f., 40f. ambient.
Now, what to do with the waste?
I'll be gong back in armed with foam adhesive and a can of expanding foam to get any cracks that remain.
