"Swiss level craftsmanship" what a ridiculous self absorbed and arrogant crap to say.

Mr. Collier nah. What the business owner and the staff does are two different jobs.

@@crunch9876 so, owners cant train their staff? You sound dumb.

Facts

on a side note here.... that was 1/2 lb. foam not 2lb. you can apply 1/2 lb thicker as long as your not blowing back the material. you are however correct in saying that about the 2lb foam. and on another side note.... i did the spray foam for over 10 years in the states. and none of my jobs never looked that shitty. whoever did that job was not trained properly.

Personally from my experience I think it happened to me only when it was so cold outside that when spraying..the cold reacts with the hot temperatures from the foam and makes it pull away like this... never happened with closed cell. (I’ve only been spraying for almost a year so I’m not so experienced yet! 😁)

I know little about Spray Foam , but looking at it. It looks like a lot of uneven logs( sprayed) where it does bond well to what was sprayed. I hope i have described that? Sprayed tooooo cold? Not like what I watched from Spray Foam Jones.

XL spray foam you can spray up to 8 inches open cell the closed cell is the one that you can't spray more the 4 inches but now is a lot of options of chemical that you can spray more than 4" closed cell ...you got no clue what you're talking about i been spraying since i was 22 years old im 40 now f you need to know more about foam come to north carolina the problem on this particular job is moisture you need to heat the house with all Windows open for 30 min to an hr and then closed the windows heat the house keep the heater close to the are were you going to start to spray and you never gonna have that problem..

@XL Sprayfoam Solutions, but naturally of course you going to say it’s a good product. You is the guy installing/selling it. 🙈

Justin Valentini start a foam commercial style format to the spray for the building start a foam pit to spray home house

I caught that too. Overneath. I also dislike "overtop" but that's a different beef I guess.

Foam is only as good as the Installer. It can't install itself. Separate the two please!

Is it a tiny house?

@@vapeurdepisse 24k cubic feet or 650m3 not tiny

LOL! I didn't know Taco bell made concrete additives & air sealing products. I guess that will Taco Bell restaurants take over entirely the fast food sector in a few years (reference to Demolition Man Movie)

@@guytech7310 nice reference. Air five.

I may know of a couple of buildings slabs that have Nextel's phones that would not stop alerting

That's wild. It makes you question all of their training and credibility. Whoever drank that cup would be fired on the spot.

I don't see a reply to your question let me know if they ended up replying to it I had the exact same question

Oh yeah, another good question..

Arshaad Yar - considering these foams were developed for NASA, who has insanely strict requirements on off-gassing, it isn’t very hard to find that these foams are totally safe *_if_* used properly.

There is zero issue with off gassing if used properly

TheEarthDoctor1 sigh you made one good point. Andthat was the other point the rest are blatant lies. First off all they do not keep offgasing when mixed properly and applied properly the finished result is chemically inert. Yes they are toxic in a fire but so is cellulose and fiberglass insulation (Rockwool is not toxic in a fire, only fire rates insulation) They are no more problematic during demolition than most other construction material including plywood. The dust of fully cured spray foam isn’t even harmful (Beyond regular construction dust, cement dust and rile is much worse for your health) You say you doubt you’ll see contractors recycling the bits. And your point is?!?!?! Do you think they recycle Fiberglas insulation? No. Rockwool? No. Cellulose? No. Expanded or extruded polystyrene? No. So what’s your point? What part of construction is recyclable? I install recycle roofing, and I I’m pretty sure only about 1 percent or less of construction companies do. Or do you think anything besides metal is typically recycled in a demolition? Lol and even then it’s really only like copper. I don’t know what fantasy world you live in. Btw I don’t even install foam insulation unless specifically asked by the client or by the architects plans, I recommend Rockwool it cellulose. But I just can’t stand blatant liars with an agenda. In regard to it getting in your water supply, that is a huge problem with ALL construction debris, and that is why federal fines for construction waste getting into the water supply are typically in the $100,000’s per incident. Of course those are not enforced strictly.

i actually worked with this product . after spraying was finished we would always open windows /doors to create draft for ventilation then remove masks.

Have a look at Knauf Ecoseal: _Air sealing with spray-on caulking_ - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mchhhpZh2NiZcYU.html

@The Arizona Homestead Project, they Half-Brothers? 🤔

Eric van zeyl - I know you didn’t ask me but I can help answer the question, I do spray foam and 3 inches of close cell is going to get you an r-value of 19 to 21 depending on the brand of the foam., if it was my house I would do 4 inches of closed cell to make sure you get the r-value you need in an attic.. and 2 inches in the walls.. if is open cell you can do 3 1/2 in the walls to 5 1/2 and 5 1/2 to 8 inches in the roof, depending where you live.. thanks

Yeah, it's one thing to hire a crew that doesn't pick up after themselves...another thing when they throw their trash IN YOUR WALL. Holy crap, those people need taken to the malpractice agency and scolded.

I was working on a house and found a beer bottle in the wall, no joke. It explained a lot.

I found porno mags from the year I was born under the vanity in a bathroom I was remodeling once.

@@thomassteele-sheets7471 I've been doing work on my house and when I air sealed and reinsulated my attic I found what I like to call the previous owners "sin stash". I think the wife was fairly religious, and so stashed in the old attic insulation was a paper bag of porn from the 70's, beer bottle caps, and a box of Twinkies.

@@troyb3394 were those twinkies still any good? It could definitely bring closure to that twinkies never go bad debate. And these were from 87 at my house.

If you like mold and rot: yes. Making a house airtight on the outside of the insulation is a really stupid idea. Even the holes in the insulation of the original house would be better because the moisture could evaporate over time. The sealing will keep it indefinitely between the frames.

Sven, I keep thinking about the house as a glass jar that I hold to my mouth and exhale into. The moisture starts collecting. You are correct. Giving credit to my expectations of that foil wrap, there's no way the interior will match the seal of the exterior. A boiled pot of water without the exhaust hood on, the same with a shower, a window left open during a rain, plumbing or roof leaks, or daily living--the house is soon a mushroom without moisture exhausting mechanicals. If the electricity goes out, a generator fails, or any component of the air exchange system goes out, let the mold begin.

J Healy - NASA and every other space agency have been obsessed with off-gassing for decades so modern foams and adhesives generally don’t. There is literally an almost unlimited amount of research into these materials in the relevant journals. The effects of vented crawl spaces and other barbaric practices and the nastiness they contribute *_far_* more to the air pollution of a house.

Metal shell? I would reach for closed cell foam. What I don't know is surface prep: something like powder coat might need a primer [or some other treatment] applied first, or adhesion might fail? Solvent compatability issues are something to be aware of - foam manufacturer should be the best source of info. You do not want moisture arriving to the surface between foam and metal. But: penetrations need elasticity - other sealing methods [grommets, glands, caulk, etc] should be applied first. RV's have plumbing, electical needs that pass through foam and will lose air seal/leak at some point, if foam is the only protection.

If you have any plumbing questions just hit me up on my channel. 👍

Cost plus lol

ZERO ACH is not safe or healthy. What your saying is a person could actually suffocate from a lack of oxygen in the house. Get a family in there, and unless someone opens a door or window, you'll get oxygen depletion in only a number of hours. If you reading zero ACH, I suspect you are doing something wrong in your testing.

Yes, so you don't have to wear a tin foil hat around the house ;)

That's a good question. I wonder if a person would have to step outside you make a phone call. I work in a tin covered shop and we have horrible reception. If it's an important call I just head outside immediately. It's frustrating

Yes, it affects cell service. Rockwool does as well. We have our A/V guy install repeaters that are wired from the outside to the inside to mitigate the issue.

That's cool man. I should look into something like that for our shop.

UOA Plays he’s another guy

deep fake algorithm must be bugged

I use 4' PT along the entire bottom of all the houses I build.

Why? Using tons of spray foam is more fun I heard ... ;)

That stuff is likely to create MORE rigidity in my humble opinion. It sticks like glue, and with the amount of surface area contact it is likely to create a completely rigid end product even if some of the adhesion fails....and I am not sure that's a bad thing. You want the increased R value for such a project. R

We spray Van's and cargo trailers all the time, never once had an issue or call back. The spray foam will dramatically improve the structural strength and will also make it more quiet too.

Yep

Sven Weihusen the new-breed of installer can’t grasp these simple facts.

Exactly.

InfinityVideoNiagara I liked overneath. I’m going to try to use it.

Dino B. There’s foam in more things than just our homes. Look around you!! Chairs, couches, seats in your car. You can’t use filthy fiberglass for stuff like that.

Stucco guy here: Our house, like the million others within 60 miles has stucco on the outside and we're in the hottest city in America. 121F is the record we've hit two years in a row. Stucco on the exterior under those conditions is stupid. Yet every house has it. Add one of the exterior insulation systems M. Rissinger has been advocating these past months to capture the thermals mass and isolate it from the excessive heat. You could install an uninterrupted layer of polyisocyanurate panels 1" thick over the entire wall first, then frame with steel a 2nd stud wall and use the closed cell foam in that cavity. Wrap with something suitable for your climate, it should breathe because you already have an impermeable membrane in the form of the Polyisocyanurate 1" layer. A radiant barrier if you live below 30 degrees N. latitude. Then the siding of your choice. A similar process for the roof to complete the envelope, more or less. These houses also need a basement, or a below grade cool space (cold storage) to provide air for a heat pump driven, forced air system that stays out of the attic. Otherwise, we should let most of them burn. The builders 50 years ago had few priorities that apply today.

cuylarHD cell phone signals too?

i get no cellphone signal in my aluminum clad house with a metal roof.

Yup. The construction superintendents we train would know to put the brakes on that job the second they observed a crew like that in-action, doing anything sub-standard. and get it fixed. Bad jobs can happen to even normally excellent sub-trades. Maybe their main guy got hurt ‘last week’ and a couple of greenhorns got in over their heads. It happens. But there is zero excuse for the builder accepting that work and worse - passing it on to the homeowner. But it was more likely the low bidder - which will never be an “A-list” sub.
