[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 724297, member: 9031"] I think spray foam is super cool. It's a pretty stinkin amazing product. I sprayed about 4,000 sqft of open cell in my home build last week. Exterior walls and 100% of rooflines. The only reason I chime in so hard on the subject is I have never built a home or shop before this year. So before I started and during the build of both I'm doing everything I can to educate myself on building practice and product knowledge. I have been blown away to say the least with how little people know about what they are actually doing. As far as why they are doing it. I sit down and get a bid from a white guy typically. Then he almost never shows up on site. It's a group of non English speaking guys that are purely trained to do a task. Not really knowing the effects of that task. The same thing happens with some of my other subs. HVAC for example, my guy is awesome. We talked through the entire design for a couple months before. Day of the install, 4 southern guys show up that he comments he doesn't know. Chuckles and they get busy. The guys move 100mph. When finished I get to see how hard they made it for my insulation guys. Duct work sucked up against west facing roof lines. The highest heat load in the house. When I ask my HVAC guy, he says "yeah I didn't understand why they did that either, it'll be fine man, promise" I had to cut almost all of the ductwork down so when my insulation came in it didn't expand and restrict some of my supply ducts. I know I'm rambling. Lol Anyway, I think spray foam is an awesome product. Yes I am for it. You just have to be very careful about what you use and where you use it. The small details matter. I have learned that even the guys spraying it and designing HVAC around it really don't understand the effects of it. It's quick and easy. Plain and simple [/QUOTE]
