Ok you know how the small projects turn into the project from he!!....
I have a 2' by 8' cantalevered bump out in my breakfast area. The underside has rotted out. The only wat to get to it was to tear down the deck, which was due for demolition anyway. The deck is/was only 2' off the ground and support beams 6" off the ground which was why I could not get access.
Now that I have removed half of the deck I can get access to the underside of the bump out, I can do the necessary repairs. I recall great debate when Marty was insulating his shop floor as to how best install the insulation. My plan is to put in bats of insulation and cover it with exterior grade plywood to keep mice and bugs out.
Question: Should I use faced or unfaced insulation? I was also thinking of putting soffit vents on the underside to help vent any moisture. Any recommendations would be very much appreceated.
