Thermal break with saw cuts through stud
I realized today that I could get my skilsaw into most of my wall cavities and cut a slot in each stud.
Even better would have been a plunge cut before framing. I'm not sure if the gap needs to be very large but I bet if I can get a strip of 1/2" foam in there I'm good. To make a bigger gap I could drill a hole top and bottom, cut two slots on either side of that hole and cut out the waste with the jigsaw. I saw this as a sound control measure in an old carpentry textbook. Double your utility with the slot method. |
