tekfoil insulation
Has anyone used this stuff? Ive looked all over and cant find an r value,although farm tek says it will replace up to 2" of foam board.

I was thinking about it for under the slab instead of foam.The heat will be forced air wood,so slab insulation is more for comfort than anything else. For the walls and cieling I am looking at the custom cut fg batts that are faced on both sides,6" both places.

I can tell you dont ride sleds,all sledders know where it is! The infaymous Hideaway bar on starvation lake!About 4 mi south and 3 east of mancelona.Starvation Lake rd runs east from cr 571 (kalkaska county).
You have some good points about the foam under. I think Im going to use the tekfoil under what will be the machine/wood shop area,and just the heavy plastic out in the vehicle part. I want the floor insulation just because my feet and legs dont like the damp anymore.I was going to rat wall the perimeter,not so much for critters as much as to keep the frost out. as long as you dont plow,you dont get any frost to speak of here.We had 3 to 4 feet of snow cover all winter,and thats average,If you dig into it,the ground is never frozen.Now where I plow is a different deal. My main water line runs under the driveway and even though its 5' down we have to start running water by the first week of feb.I should have foamed the line,but when we put it (water line) in ,it wasnt a full time driveway.Anyway,I figured an 18" deep trench a foot back would be enough except where the oh doors will be.I'm leaning to 24" square with some rod in it there.When I pull the groomer tractors in for work, I dont want to get a crack started.

The rebar does seem to work here as well. My carport floor and the apron in front of it is 6" with fiber and 5/8 rebar tied on 24" centers over plastic.Its been 3 yrs now,the apron part is totally exposed. I plow it with the sd and scrape it clean with the tc35da. The jd 8120t has been on it as well,summer and winter for service. Its not sawcut,only because it was oct when we poured it,so it just didnt get done(winter comes early here),and the next summer, I just never got to it.The edges are really chipped up,and the surface is scarred pretty bad from the chains on the nh (park it with the blower on it in winter) and the carbide studs on the 8120t,but no cracks yet.That slab was really overkill,and I wont go the rebar route in the shop,mostly because at 3500 sq ft,its just too much work for my 65yr old ass!But this time I will do the sawcuts!
