    Nice Job Scott the fact that you used Closed cell really makes sense with sharing the space next to big ole diesels :) Looks REALLY nice I would be extremely proud if that were my home. I've said it before, it could not happen to a nicer family. God Bless and keep you, Keep on keeping on!

    • @Wingnut353
      @Wingnut353 2 года назад +1

      Closed cell is imperative for Quonset huts to begin with.... the closed cell foam acts as yet another sealant layer , whereas if you get a small leak with open cell it will just absorb it... making for a mold nightmare. There is a very helpful Facebook group for quonset builders where you can ask those sorts of questions. Scott is a member there actually and posts his progress there every now and then.

    Having worked in construction for almost 40 years from apprentice to licensed general contractor and electrical contractor, this interested me greatly. I learned several things about differences in materials and methods used where you live as opposed to where I am in Southern California. Even without narration, my observation allowed me to learn much. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

      @@gigahertz_1911 It would depend on the jurisdiction. The best way to find out would be to personally visit your building department, or speak to an experienced architect. The foam has been used for decades on slightly sloping (flat) roofs of convalescent hospitals, then coated with elastomeric paint to protect it from the sun. I first saw it applied to a hospital addition I was in charge of about 1986-87

    Before i spent 20 years as a laborer for a GC here in CT, I spent 5 years working for an Insulation contractor, 95% of our work was residential. This was the mid 80's and people were beginning to take R values and Insulation as a whole more seriously, especially here in the Northeast. 3 1/2" (R 11) in the walls and 6" to 9" (R19 to R30) was the minimum code requirement for most towns in Fairfield and Westchester county's, which was our work area. So watching those fellas spray that foam on was awesome! Everything is so tight, no gaps , no air infiltration, love that stuff. My favorite part? NO ITCHY FIBERGLASS!! Can't wait to see it done, enjoy your weekend.

    • @safffff1000
      @safffff1000 2 года назад +2

      Archaic r values don't mean much with spray foams just gets in the way with old building codes standards. 2" closed cell is all one needs in 95% of all areas. 2" = 86% less heat loss

    • @davidremy4470
      @davidremy4470 2 года назад

      Yes , I suppose R values are archaic, just like me, lol.

    • @Wingnut353
      @Wingnut353 2 года назад

      @@davidremy4470 The reason people say this is that there are thermal leaks around other types of insulation, in any case R values are scientifically based. Its just that the requirements are a little different between say rock wool and spray foam... so no R values aren't archaic.... in any case the R value is just the inverse of the heat transfer coefficient (this is more commonly used in engineering). Anyway Scott should be getting about R7 per inch there... in addition to being better sealed.

    I had this done to my metal bus building last year. Best money I ever spent. 15 degrees cooler in the summer and holds heat in the winter. My building contractor told me that a metal building with closed cell foam insulation is the most cost effective building built. When I saw yours going up I knew that he was right. I'm in NC so our climate is the same as yours. It's a tough job spraying that insulation. Great video. Thanks again.

    On waiting to do the shop: I understand the matter of expense, can't do everything at once. But I'm a little concerned about diesel exhaust buildup over time on the tin making an oily/sooty surface that might make it hard for the foam to adhere correctly. That could be wiped down with rags and some solvent, but that is a huge amount of extra work. I just have a feeling that it would be good to get it foamed as soon as you can manage it. (You probably already thought of that. But just in case you didn't, I thought I'd mention it.)

    In that opening scene where he is testing out the foam on the plastic laying on the floor....is that moisture and wet dirt on the floor up against the metal structure? Behind the studded wood wall on concrete against the metal of the hut? If so does the spray foam seal it from water intrusion or are you going to take silicone caulk and do the outside where it meets the slab, although I know it's buried into the grout channel?

      Water was condensation on the inside running down the wall. But yes it’s water proof
