Yea, there's a bigger main circulator for the boiler, then five of those isotherm zones with their own pumps

What was his charge? I have an amp needing new caps and I'll never have time to do it myself
$240 -
He is currently on-hold for intake until April! although with the cold weather, he may work more.

Apparently they no longer make the housing my pump sits in, so I ordered the one @Patrick
had posted, the one cheaper than the rebuild. Popped out the old pump, impeller was busted and the guide ring popped out of the old housing. So I popped the new ring out of the new housing, cleaned up the old housing as best I could and popped the ring into it. Seemed pretty solid. Threw the new pump on and fired it up. Basement floor is slowly getting warmer.

Just roll from one project into another, before the prior one is finished...
Bedrooms above the garage are always way colder than the rest of the house. Using a friend's IR camera nothing really looked bad in the walls or ceiling, hard to tell with the floor. Went up in the attic and the insulation looked good even if it's settled 1965 insulation.
Since it's been 60something degrees everyday this week I decided to take down one of the 4x8 OSB ceiling sheets. Found 2004 insulation of the right type but horribly applied in the 2x8 joists. Everywhere there's the blocking they just left a huge gap.
Shoved the leftover Rockwool from my Sun Room project up there. Hopefully one more package gets it well insulated after I pull off the other panels.
Downside is my garage will likely be colder in the winter...

I know it will be hidden over the OSB panels, but it you want to make a cleaner and probably more efficiently insulating job just cut an X at the end of the rockwool batts and slide it over the bridging, the OSB panel will keep the lower unsupported bit in position. But I'm probably overthinking it...
Exactly what I was doing, although more like a triangle.
I thought of getting the high-expansion foam just for the X-bracing but I may end up wasting a lot of unused foam in the cans doing this in stages. The life on an opened can is short.
I was thinking of the foam, back one side with sheetrock. If you could get them all at once....
I was thinking piece of wood with parchment paper so it's flat against the insulation.
I took off the next panel today. Even worse, they just stopped the insulated at the cross bracing entirely.
Luckily with the joists being 9.5" deep I can fit a lot of insulation.
