Sprayfoam insulation in the quonset hut

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.

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!

I came for all the advice from the YouTube engineers with 87 years in the industry about how this is done all wrong🤣

This is nuts, those that can't gripe, and condem those that can. Personally, I thinks it will help much more than most of the complainers think. Doing a great job Bus Grease Monkey.

Watching these guys at work is almost as relaxing as watching a Post10 video.

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.

I feel warmer just watching him spray that on. That should work really well.

I don’t know if you have been informed but spray foam adds about 300%more structural integrity to your building. Good job you’ll also be amazed how quiet it’s going to be. Have a great day and love the bus videos.

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.

That is a serious amount of foam laid..wow!!! Its looking fantastic!! I would love to know the db difference between the shop and living quarters before and after foam. I think that would be a great selling point as diesels are a wee bit louder then gasoline engines:-) Its great seeing ones dreams turn into reality...you all have earned it and so much more Scott!!

Man, I had no idea how much technique was involved in sprayfoaming. This guy is making sure he fills every crack and crevice, while also trying to keep the height of the foam uniform. He's making sure to spray behind plumbing instead of on top of it, to keep the pipes from bursting. Great work.

Looks cozy! Bet that insulation man has a strong handshake. Bless

I am super happy for you to be making so much progress on your new home and shop! Nothing valuable is done in a day! You all have done an amazing job and I am sure you all will get many years of great use from your new place!! Can't wait to see as you progress more!!

No bus. No grease. No monkey. But soooo fascinating. Almost addictive. Best regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

long time coming brother. you've waited your whole life for that one thing we all strive for.. a dream shop. congratulations man. be proud of yourself. having a shop like this just elevates the incentive and enthusiasm and pride of all jobs that come thru the door. looking good!

So cool , spraying the metal. Temp and sound are going to be like night and day!

Doesn't get any better than that! I would never go back to standard batt insulation. You did good!

Although I have never had anything spray foamed, to watch it done or see the end result is so satisfying, a feeling of comfort and blissfull completion is the only way I can explain it 🤗☮

Scott you are on your way to having a really nice home for you and Kelly. Those guys did an outstanding job applying the spray foam as well. You can take pride in building your dream shop and it does show. Congrats to you and Kelly and may God Bless you in all that you do.

Glad to hear you putting a fresh air exchanger keep your home a lot healthier and they're not putting on thick help allows it to cure
