The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV

Got a couple quotes for having someone blow in the insulation in the ceiling.

hopefully we can get this thing buttoned up soon. Then I need to figure out how I am going to insulate the door.

Dropped off the motorhome. Stopped and had a big lunch on the way home.

Got home a had a nice nap.

Rained the whole time going to and coming back. Nothing like driving in a down pour with fog both ways.

Still raining with high winds.

Got a call from the dealership. Just spent $1,600 for a new right side mirror for the motorhome. That's the one, that the one renter crashed into a toll booth on the Ohio turnpike.

The body shop want $2,000 for the same mirror.

You could rent a blower too.

As for the door - if replacing it with an insulated door is not in the cards... Amazon will come through for you.

Honestly, for the price I am paying, it wouldnt be worth my time to rent the blower and buy the insulation.
No insulated door either, I was looking at 2" pink foam I could cut and adhere to door or one of the kits like you linked.

Isn't there a kit that has rigid insulation that you can attach to the panels of the garage door to insulate it? I can't remember where I saw it offered.

There is. One of the houses we rent out has that setup. It's on amazon as well. I have to wonder about it though, the panels dont cover the edges of each garage panel where the hinges are.
