Do I need a vapor barrier for an unheated detached garage in Northeast Georgia?
Complete noob here. I live in a rural county of NE GA that doesn't have building codes/property inspections. I have a 30x30 detached garage with a metal roof. The garage has 3 roll-up doors, 9 windows, 2 exterior doors, and is split into 2 rooms (10x30 and 20x30). The building also has a 100-amp electrical service. The exterior is T1-11 siding over a Typar house wrap over OSB sheathing. I want to insulate the garage and ceiling, then close the walls with OSB. I don't plan to install any automatic climate control (just use fans and portable heater or A/C as needed when I'm working in there). Do I need to install a vapor barrier between my insulation and the OSB that will be the interior walls of the building? If so, do I need to replace all the blue new construction electrical boxes with the vapor-tight boxes, or is there a way to use the blue boxes to complete the vapor barrier? submitted by /u/regulator795 [link] [comments]
