Inexpensive Drooping Insulation Solution
I had insulation installed in my basement and they left it as in first photo. I play music and have gear down there, not to mention just going down for laundry and whatever else, and the insulation was dripping and falling all over. There's no way I was gonna cut drywall around the pipes for water and heat (not pictured) or spend the money for it. I came up with this solution, which I like for cost and ease, also because, if there's a leak, I don't have to wait for a water spot - I'll know immediately. Or if I have to fix anything behind, pull it down and restaple. I used Painters' canvas dropcloth and a staple gun. I like the look and as far as music goes, it doesn't ricochet sound like drywall. Anyway, I'm new, I just wanna know what y'all think. Is there something I've missed for why it's not a fine idea? It's been about a year and I'm still pleased with it. submitted by /u/Plus_Fault360 [link] [comments]
