I have a basement garage that had a large unused room between the garage and the finished portion of the basement. The room had the heat pump condenser and air handler and was unheated. I demolished a partition wall between the room and the garage so I could store an old car there.
Later on I noticed the wall between the finished basement and the new portion of the garage was cold during the winter. I open up an exploratory hole and, oops- no insulation. My new "exterior" wall is a 12' long energy hog.
There is a soffit on the top of the wall that can be reduced in size if I redo the room, so I can use that to get access to the top of the wall. I'm thinking about using cellulose insulation and blowing it in there between the studs. The problem is that I won't have a vapor barrier.
Is this going to be a problem?
