Hi all,

I am in North Carolina and our current home (built in 87′) has a 1200sqft  full height unfinished basement.  The basement is used as a storage and rec area and will never be fully finished. Maybe a drop ceiling or something in the future.  No mold issues. 

I have been reading about how to air seal and insulate rim joists but unlike most installations I want to be able to check the rim for termite damage.  Big deal around here. Not interested in spray foam.  I spent the weekend going through and caulking the rim joists areas but wasn’t sure how to proceed with the insulation. 

I have a bunch of Roxul left over from remodeling and also some sheets of 3/4″ rigid foam from Lowes and was curious if I could use that in some manner?

thanks,

Drew
