Mooney Wall strapping

MVAgusta | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

Any opinions as to how thick I can go with the strapping before it gets too unwieldy or wobbly to be practical? I’ve insulated the lower skip-sheathed rafters with 2″ foam (thanks Sphere), but the rest of the ceiling has board sheathing, so I don’t want to buy any more tuff-r than I have to.

    I think the 'standard' Mooney Mike uses is 1.5". Anything much over that and I see predrilling for screws.
