They attached them to a ceiling for sound reduction in a recording studio. Would this work for your situation?<BR><BR></P></DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: Taylor Publishing-DirtCheapBuilder <TMS at NORTHCOAST.COM> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Reply-To: Taylor Publishing-DirtCheapBuilder <TMS at NORTHCOAST.COM> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>To: David Atmoweg <VESUVIUSBOBO at EMAIL.COM> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>CC: Chuck & Linda <CLEARNED at BMINET.COM>, coblist at deatech.com <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: Cob: Questions about wool- air gap venting in roof <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 10:45:10 -0700 <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>On Uncleaned wool: In his experience, the stuff can sit around <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>forever unwashed and be ignored by pests, for whom the sheepiness is <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>simply overwhelming. +++++++++ <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>WOW David, you made my day...I keep looking a this huge bag of dirty <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>fleece I have with the slowly receding "odaire'du ewe" and see no <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>moths, etc and am happy to report even the field mice aren't <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>stealing bits of it! <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>So If I get around to washing it I would love to use it in the <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>ceiling of my studio...one caveat, I am aware there must be an <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>airgap between the insulation (of any type) and the underside of the <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>roof ceiling..I Journal of Light Construciton saw some "baffles" of <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>material that let about 1/2" to 1" of space remain, ensuring <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>ventilation. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>I was wondering if simple sturdy cardboard could be bent at edges <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>to allow the same venting? then stapled to the rafter sides, etc. My <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>other idea was rolled/bunched up netting that would take up some <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>"space" buffering the insualtion from touching the roof underside, <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>but allow air thru.
