I'm setting up shop in our daylight basement. The exposed walls do not have insulation and I'd like to change that, but I really don't want to add drywall over the insulation (per fire-codes). Are there any easy options for me, or am I stuck with adding drywall?
Question 2: I'm also adding electrical to these walls. Do I need to put the insulation between the wire and the outside face of the wall, or between the wire and the inside area? Does it even matter per building codes? The point of my question is this: I'm still a month or two from finishing the electrical runs, but I would like to insulate NOW. And, after this week of sub-freezing weather, I really mean NOW!!! By insulating first, will I be setting myself up for a lot of trouble?
Thanks,
Jay
PS: I'm only insulating the exterior / exposed walls. I'm not going to insulate the concrete walls just yet.
