[Shop-talk] Lightweight reflective ceiling covering?

[Jim Franklin]

There are 3-4 doing that now, apparently attached to a 2x6 girder laid flat,
yet it still sags. I haven't gone up there yet to investigate, could be one
pulled out from the cement and fertilizer the PO stored up there :-\

The garage isn't that well built; the entire rear gable wall flexes, being
attached only at the perimeter. It does need a bit of work which is why I'm
reluctant to toss $$$ at it now, just to get the place lit until I put
together A Plan.
