When insulating your home with blown-in fiberglass insulation would you recommend including the garage also.?

The critical barrier to insulate is the wall between the living area and the garage. You lose heat thru the wall.\n\nAs for the attic above the garage, that is a waste of money for the insulation. \n\nThink of the living envelope of your home needing to be protected and insulated. The walls and ceiling create this envelope. Some people try to increase their living space by modeling their basement and some by modeling the attic. You are fooling yourself if you think this added space is as equal in comfort as the original envelope. \n\nYou can cause more trouble than what it's worth when changing the attic. Cold air is suppose to circulate cooling and drying the moisture which escapes up thru the ceiling. Adding another insulated barrier prevents this from happening.

I don't think any body's heard of this theory sold hold on:\n\nI get a blowdryer or leave your board in the sun (i have all epoxy boards) and use a sock to wipe the wax off reallllyyyy clean

The best way to ensure the appropriate level of sound insulation for your building is to design it into the structure.  Architectural acoustics covers the topics of reverberation time, acoustic absorption, diffusion, first reflections, room modes, etc. Some of the points to be noted are placement of openings that is doors and windows and the design of the same with size of rooms of the house.  A few points are illustrated below.\n1. The window can be double glassed, with a thicker glass at the inside. 2.  The air gap towards the ground level to be the biggest air leaks, so may be  make panels (with the gypsum panels) which fit nicely in the window, and in the air gap?   3. Using acoustic ceilng tiles. 4.  Sound absorbing materials who can be pasted to the walls or plastered can also help.\nVR\n.

The technically correct answer is to balance heat loss with various insulated wall thicknesses against the installation costs for the wall, insulation and the heating system. Add in the savings in energy over a period of time to come up with a balance between costs and energy savings. \n\nIn reality the practical answer is to look at standard building material sizes and use those to make a quick choice. The old standard was a 2 x 4 stud wall (really a 3-1/2" thick wall not counting exterior and interior finish). The next step up would be a 2 x 6 stud wall (really 5-1/2" thick wall) and this is in many places the current norm. The next stand stud size is a 2 x 8 thickness but that does not appear to be very common.\n\nWhen we built our current house, we got energy saving estimates from the local utility that compared various wall finishes and thicknesses with BTU's saved. I would bet there is similar information available from you local utility or on line.

cooling it or pressurized it

Bring it into the shop let them check it out for you.  This will save you monney in the long run if it over heats it can burn up you're hard drive or even go on fire.

Enclose your entire house in weather wrap. That should keep the weather away.

Make sure your furnace is working properly, ie burners are clean and pilot light is functioning properly.  Have a Carbon Monoxide detector on every floor of the house, put them near the floor because Carbon Monoxide is heavier that regular air, thus if you put them on the wall up high they may not detect a problem until it is to late. As for the car  ?? just do not start it in the garage with the garage door down.

Yes, speak to the people who insure your house. Even if you rent a house you should insure it /you yourselves.\n  It will cover your dog biting someone, a window falling out your child running into someone on their 'bike.

If you do it, be extremely careful.  Blown glass is extremely fragile and if you want to go back for seconds, you've got to be sure not to break it.

air flow. if your house does not have it , it will not breath properly

I have two opinions about your question   one is Radient heatbarrier and reflection house insullation  or Icyene spray foam insulation   reason being they keep down on modern day cost efaicante  heating and cooling bills during the summer and winter.

Cool.\n\nUse the FOIL method. First, outside, inside, and last.

are you sure its fiberglass? I dont think they use that for windshields, in which case it might be something else that you are experiencing allergic reactions to. Go see a doctor if you are having allergic reactions, or describe your symptoms on here a bit better so maybe a doctor can help you on here.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windshield

With insulation.  Put it between walls or floors.

any oil based primer and paint for steel doors. usually u don't pait fiber glass but if u must it should be done in an acrilic spray if avalibale

I guess if its outside and you play on it during the winter you would need a cover.  But you would think that outside glass basketball backboards would be made to be winterized...
