Subject: insulating and inner wall covering the upper story of a Home Depot shed. Hardy Plank sided.
My husband is going to insulate the upper story walls with R-19 roll insulation from HD. ( this upper level gets REALLY HOT in the summer)
He does not want to use drywall for the inner walls over this insulation but wants instead to use 4 by 8' wood paneling as it will be less work and will not need painting.
He intends to air-condition this area for his hobby room.
I have been giving my opinion that I think using the paneling is a bad idea... not as fire proof and he should not just butt these panels together without stripping the seams.
I wonder about a moisture barrier. The insulation is the pink stuff with the paper.
The lower floor will get the insulation with drywall and paint... this will be my hobby area.
Any opinions out there? I would really like to be wrong about my concerns.
