Best place to ask multiple remodel questions?
Good morning! We’re remodeling a money pit in an area where the contractors are old school. I’ve been using and reading this board to encourage my contractor to do the repairs closer to what’s ‘code’ and more energy efficient. And no, it’s not possible to just find another contractor. There are no available performance builders around here (really, no kidding- really small rural town)
是否有一个提出这些问题的地方/更好的方法？我们不是在建造，但是我们不得不挖出很多房子。
我感谢每个人的帮助。这个地方有so many issues and I value the good advice.
Thanks!

萨拉，fire away. As long as your questions are generally on the topic of energy efficiency and/or any "greener" approach to building and remodeling, that's what this forum is about. Many of us are in the same boat as you, some of us are contractors; but the exchange of ideas and information is how we all learn.
Ask unrelated questions in separate threads rather than pile them up in one post.
General questions about remodeling or code compliance that don't have a "green" component are probably best asked on other sites.
任何承包商都应至少建立代码。不过，该网站上的大多数人都想要比代码更好，尤其是关于隔热之类的东西。
您的承包商试图在哪里进行捷径？

通常，这是一个绝缘和建筑技术问题。我在这里问问题，然后当我与承包商交谈时，它可以帮助我决定如何重建如何被撕毁以及如何确保它不再腐烂（至少马上立即腐烂）
Rebuilding a wall with 2x4 (instead of 2x6) and fiberglass batt insulation in an unvented roof assembly (zone I think 5A) is making me really cringe though... I came back this weekend to see the fiberglass up there when I was trying to figure out what it was going to take to insulate that 'new' roof... I really need to ask more questions of more energy minded folks so that I can prevent these issues...
这是一个开玩笑（但不是一个玩笑），这里没有“代码”。这里只有需要许可证的事情很好和化粪池...
萨拉，
Where is "up here"?
有些地方不进行检查，但是即使您没有受到检查，您仍然应该仍然应该构建代码。有很多代码可以保护您，以确保结构安全。
如果您从2x6墙开始，这听起来像是这样，为什么您要使用2x4s重建它？通常，除非存在某种问题，否则您会以相同的方式重建墙。用2x4建造的墙将无法适应尽可能多的绝缘材料，因此与原始墙相比，您的热性能最终会较差。有一些方法可以解决此问题，但是您需要确保完成正确。
如果您是新的屋顶是通风的屋顶组件，那么我们喜欢吹入的绝缘材料，尤其是爆炸的纤维素。吹制绝缘有许多优势（价格便宜，安装很快，并且表现良好，部分原因是您可以“掩埋”阁楼地板托梁以消除热桥）。吹玻璃纤维也可以工作，但在某些方面不如纤维素。
确保您的承包商在结构打开时做得很好。现在是这样做的时候，永远不会更轻松。

The wall that was replaced was a series of windows- wall and ceiling were all windows (not skylights- windows. The glass said 'ford' I'm pretty sure it cost a fortune even in the 80's. It was 2x4, what was left of it- it was completely rotten since they put rock on the outside and did not flash it AT ALL. The rock was the only thing holding up the wall once they got in there.
原始房屋结构为2x6。窗户房间有3个添加2x4。
就空气密封而言，“房屋包裹”与将其放在“新屋顶”上的木瓦下方的材料相同（这是未通风的BTW-我询问了有关屋顶的排气，但目前没有排气，但只有大约4''从峰到边缘，宽度20'）。2x4。它取代了一个长窗口/系列窗口。天花板的干墙将连接到after子的2x4上。
