Gas stinks

I was told to not use foam behind drywall. The expansion will stress and possibly crack. Fiberglass bats should be used if not finished with drywall; blown in cellulose (paper/cloth) when the drywall is already up.

Foam can be used if you are not using drywall.

The rest of your question is answered above

thats good to know. thanks

Try 64 daytime when you are up. Switch to 58 overnight when you are sleeping. Use a programmable thermostat to bring heat back to 64 for when you get up.
For ex: 64 at 5AM / 58 at 7AM / 64 at 4PM / 58 at 9PM .. so it is warm when I get up at 5:15AM then goes down daytime when I am at work. Back to 64 when I get home, 58 when I turn in around 10PM .. Sat/Sun it stays at 64 all day, 58 at 9PM again.

Damn. I might as well live outside if I wanted that cold. High 60s I could tolerate if I had on winter jacket. I don't think my heater would run if I set to 58.

We set ours at 75 and it's still kind of chilly.
