Insulating a shed

[phylodog]

So after seeing a new post in the " Show me your guitars " thread ........
There has to be a connecting story ? ........something similar to , If you are going to play that guitar , you will have to do it in your shed .

Not at all but I very rarely play my acoustics in the house unless no one else is home (which isn't often). I typically play my electric either unplugged or with a headphone amp. I decided to take advantage of the situation however and start playing acoustic more since I can make all the racket I want. Plus, I mean, it's an excuse to buy another guitar so why wouldn't a fella?

I totally get it .......wasn`t implying anything negative (I always see, what could be , the funny side of situations )
Side notes : Wish I had the patience to learn the guitar ........ and nice job on the shed !

Melted the laces off my boots and pert near took the whole tent down with a diesel stove three decades ago in South Korea. It looked a lot like that when they woke the fire watch (me) up to see what was happening.

Been there done that. In 1971 spent the night in a tent and the temp was 28 F below, probably not much warmer inside. That stove we had was glowing red all the way out the top of the tent. If you were facing the stove that side was warm but your back side was freezing. Jim.

The giggleberries weren't waiting around for spring. I was out there yesterday for a few hours and there ain't no way I could continue all week. Got up this morning, made a run to Home Depot and picked up some 1.5" foil faced and got it all installed this afternoon. It's not pretty by any means and I'm going to pick up some foil tape tomorrow to finish it up but it's definitely viable now with the propane heater. There's another 6' of shed on the other side of the far wall in the first pic but it's full of horse tack which isn't being used currently so I walled it off to reduce the cubic footage I'm trying to heat.

You could start a side business and grow you some....huh, tomato plants in there.

If the local LE hits it with thermal while I'm out there they'll probably be convinced I already am.

Cheap, easy and fast ? 1" bubble wrap and 3M type of spray adhesive. I did our garage door with this and it's now 12 years later.

That work very good for insulation?

Dead air space so I think it would!

Let me elaborate a bit here. The previous owner put up the foil sided thin bubble wrap. I had to pull that down and reapplied it with the above mentioned spray upholstery adhesive. I then added a layer of the 1" bubble wrap. On a typical day with lows of 5 or 10 degrees Fahrenheit I have to run a propane space heater about 20 minutes twice a day to keep it in the 40's ! Keep in mind that the garage is dry walled, ceiling included.
