Bob,

I ran 1X4's fore and aft, attached to the overhead cross members and since they are 3/4, I put the rigid foil covered foam board in between.

The wood doesn't transfer the heat or cold well.  Just got to break that metals access to the interior.

i used felt weatherstripping over the framing and also some garage door rubber weather stripping that had 2 way tape on one side. My ceiling was to low to go the extra wood stringers.

I did nearly the same as Florida cliff Rigid foam up top with aluminum faced on the bottom held up by 1x2's although i haven't hung anything up there for ceiling yet it works good for holding in the foam

sometimes you need to have your brain jump started..was over thinking ceiling and needed to be reminded of thermal break..I am lucky I have a raised roof.so space isn't a big problem..Thanks again for the suggestions and jump start...I needed that!   BOB
