    I'm going to do it!

    Just learned the roxul is not formaldehyde free, so it's out. Not a fan if being closed up in a box with that...Changed my mind to roll on steel building insulation that is, and has a built in vapour barrier...I can carve out the support beams and leave just a bit to help thermal bridging...
