It's early winter and my new solar workshop needs insulation. I decided against spray foam and went with 2 inch thick green R10 foam board insulation. Installing this product is a very laborious process especially alone. I learned a lot about measuring, marking, cutting and installing green foam board insulation. In this video I will share some of the things I learned and show a few clips of the work, plus a few tips. Actually I can only show a small fraction of the work, it took weeks to complete. I hope this video helps someone. Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks, DDSolar
UPDATE - September 2022. The foam board install is basically complete. It's working very well. I have been using a tiny 5000btu air conditioner all summer and this worked to keep the shop from getting sweltering in the heat. I recently built a cabin inside of the insulated structure to give more options for thermal management: [ Ссылка ]

Update 10-13-2022 Although I alluded to this in the video, I wanted to note that the Bosch jigsaw blades are challenging to master if you want perfect straight cuts. The saw must be plumb and square. Twisting or bending the blade will ruin the cut. It's best to back up and re-cut vs. trying to plow on through, as the blade tends to twist more and more. Also the blade is soft metal and easy to bend. Lastly, the Bosh jigsaw has Orbital adjustment, I don't know if that is a factor in cut quality. I wouldn't ever part with mine and have hundreds of (dust free) cuts on foamboard, but figured I'd post this information for those who are interested or are having problems using the bosh soft material blade.
