Borate is what the forest services dump on wildfires by airplane to knock down the flames. Impressive that they have included that element into this product. I’m mid-home addition at the moment and am going to look into TimberBatts first our home in VT.

I, m 92 and haven’t fished thru the ice close to 60 years. My dad was an avid fisherman and loved ice fishing and he and I would go as soon as the ice was safe, We didn, t have an augur, we used a long steel bar with a chisel end if the ice was 5 or6 inches thick the bar was fine. We had more good days than bad. I, m sorry for having rambled on, but my only fishing and hunting is on YT and I seldom contribute.

8:53 You have this a bit backwards. The vapor drive in the winter is from inside to outside. In humid summer, especially with AC going inside, it is outside to inside. What you want to avoid is warm humid air contacting a surface that is below dewpoint because that causes condensation and subsequent mold, etc. In winter, that's generally the sheathing. In summer, it is the inside wall (where you are installing the membrain).

So in the winter, you DON'T want the warm humid inside air traveling to your cold exterior sheathing. The Membrain, and similar products, first and foremost prevent the air itself from traveling outside, but they also slow vapor diffusion. In the summer, the conditions change and it then allows more vapor to diffuse INTO the house-- vapor that is traveling from outside. This is good because otherwise with AC you can get condensation on something like poly, which doesn't 'open up' to let that inward vapor drive pass through.

I had a feeling that was the new product you mentioned a couple videos back...I was curious about that stuff so I'm glad to see you used it...place is looking really nice

Pretty cool to buy and use a local product like that

[markg_ogb]

could you please explain a bit about how you handled the roof? What layering did you do and how did you vent it and all that?

[ducoh]

really interested in wood fiber. Great R-value, thermal mass, sound damping, healthy environment, good for the planet. Hope one day they could somehow integrate straw in it.

Got a bunch of spoons and spinners this monday from ya, cant wait to use them up north this spring!! Rock on brotha camp is looking good!!

Another cool fact is it leaves a negative carbon footprint, as outdoorsman that’s a great thing.

[heathergibson]

Looks good! Now you gotta name the cabin! Lol

[Dorchwoods]

Love it! Im currently building an a-frame camp in coplin plantation, right next door to eustis. I was on the fence about TimberHP but you sold me on it! You think I'd be able to stack 2 rows for r44?

[Utah_Mike]

Looks interesting for sure! How about insects and rodents?

Cabin looking great

What's the benefit of Timber HP over dense pack cellulose? How did you insulate behind pipes and receptacle boxes? Seems like it would be a pain to fit well into tight spaces. Just curious. Looks like an awesome product for small jobs and DIYers.

Can you tell me the cost? I'm sure I could call around during the day but if you give a ballpark of what you paid per sq foot it would be helful. Thanks

I love the idea of this product but I have a really hard time wrapping my head around it. Insulation is a big topic right now in residential design and construction. All the science always points to wood being a terrible insulator and tons of heat being lost through wall studs.

Hello,  Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Front Bumper for your Polaris Ranger XP1000( if your car is 2018-2023)

This stuff is junk, number one it is twice the price of Rockwool. Also it’s just some joke of a product to trying and help the woods industry in Maine. Still not convinced it’s any good.
