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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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!!

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 🤗☮

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

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.

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!!

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

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

in australia we give encouragement to people having ago .Scott and family your doing a great job and we enjoy watching cheers dunc

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!

That was absolutely a great video. I am impressed with that spray foam. You definitely will be saving money on energy by it being so air tight. Definitely no drafts

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.

You guys have really done your homework planning this project. You have also had some of the best contractors. Some spray foam crews would have more on the floor then the walls. Your guys were neat and thorough

Careful , meticulous spray job , guns and mix are getting better...systems that propel , too NICE WORK..!

Hey Scott. Those boys know what they're doing.... Looking good. Take care. :-)

When I first saw this Mtn and heard what your plans were for it I thought what a huge undertaking but you pulled it off and now I am thinking I wonder how many people have seen the top of "Bus Grease Mountian" the home of the "Bus Grease Monkey".

Great job on the foam. Plastic pipe versus copper. Another great choice and the foam will help hold in any small leaks.

u r property is looking really good Scott, keep the videos coming

Looking awesome Scott!

Looking good! Its a fascinating process to watch and I'm surprised at their progress in only one day. Sure has come a long way since the day you started hoisting metal up in the air and bolting that giant jigsaw puzzle together.

DIY Hand spray pack is a whole new ball game now. Thanks for the Demo Scott.

Your installer is very good. Installing a ERV or HRV is a must with tight envelope. You two are on your way!

Looking good Scott , can't wait to see it when it's done . You guys deserve this you have worked very hard to accomplish this with your wife by your side Congratulations .

Agree they did a fantastic job on the insulation. Good choice of product and company to apply it.

One of my uncles did insulation and he said that you and a candle ought to keep it warm!

Good to see more spray foam being used.

It looks fantastic! I really need to get this done in my garage ceiling!

Nice job on the spray foam 👌

Betcha he would be a heck of a painter in a spray booth! Instantly warmer too!

It is a great choice! Had a new room in my basement in the Upper Valley in NH. Did the walls between the studs and for an extra $200 had it sealed all around the concrete walls at the top near the framing plate. No drafts.

I love the scooting around on the rolling scaffolding. Safety number o..... er...... well it's in the top ten!

It's a beautiful way to seal any imperfections and absolutely no drafts

Pew pew pew! Sounds like a Star Wars space battle.

I had about 25 homes sprayed in the last 10 years , not a bit of troubles. Fresh air in and out is a must as you said . The first house I had done the homeowners kept over sleeping because it was so quiet.

Beautiful! Its good to have it sealed up so tight you have to bring in fresh air! Put good filters in the ERV, and you'll have the freshest air there is, and it'll be very cheap to heat and cool to whatever you want.

The last time I was this interested in a video with no commentary was when Wall-E came out. 😂

Amazing transformation 👏👏

Looking really great !

Looks good scott. 👍 i was wondering how it was coming. You and kelly are on your way! Have a great Thanksgiving ... i might come and see yall sometime!!

Great music, and love the videos

Should make it a lot warmer in there for you both…looks awesome Scott

Looking great sound deading from shop as well all these job's take time and have to be quoted out as you only have one change to do it

4 ish mins in. Conscientious installer, pulled the pex line away from the wall to properly seal it. Ive been a contractor / builder 35 years, maybe 1 in 10 foam installers would bother....

Spray foam is the only way to go. I have my cabin and barn barn foamed. It's stays cool in the Texas summer and warm in the Texas weather.

Your shooter is GOOD... very little overspray or excessive product. Fast and precise.

Never seen it done before but they seemed to take a lot of care and attention. In particular making sure the foam did not stress/move the pipework and wiring.

Scott that really looks great! The apartment is going to be a whole lot warmer and quieter than it was! 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.)

Shop is looking good something to be proud of.

Just so you know, spray foam is not flammable. It will support flame if held to it, but will not ignite. It is less flammable than the wood walls in there. The flame retardant coating is just to give the fire rating, the same as putting drywall up for code.

Impressive stuff!

So glad for y'all!

Hell of a set up you got on your property.......I'm in the process of buying 14.8 acres and want to do something similar....

Looks great, it will be awesome!!

When I was an apprentice I worked for PKS putting in a section of freeway and the shop was a quonset hut that you could put 2 651 scrapers side by side and 2 deep. At 50 below we sure could have used the spray foam. The thermostat was set at 10 degrees but it was colder near the walls.

Subbed for the Quonset Hut content!

That’s really going to be nice living!

I have a steel building and I wish this technology was available when I built it. Thanks for showing this. Now if you fill all the voids between the framing and building with the bubble wrap that amazon uses for packing your R factor would go up to R-99. LOL

love spray foam, did it in my shop keeps it warm & cool. cut the bill to heat or cool it in haft.

Ok that foam gun makes Star Wars sound effects

Very very easy but very expensive too, I think? Great job.

I hope you NEVER have to replace a pipe or find a leak in that wall.

Wow there a lot more methodical and take way more time spraying it in and checking the depth of foam it looks like than I would of thought they would do.

I did a shop with closed cell and left the foam exposed. The exposed foam tends to yellow over time so I over sprayed with inexpensive white latex primer, looks a lot better and way more light-reflective.

Looks nice. I personally would not do it here in Norway based on performance and the fact there is a bit of health issues regarding the outgassing from it that has not been resolved. Tho for relative mild winters like you guys have it should fit the bill just fine. :) awesome to see it being applied.

..it is quite a feeling...to walk through a space that was once only within your mind...

Very satisfying to watch lol

Igloo Cooler Home. Heated by a 100w bulb! Or fill it with ice and have the LARGEST WALKIN BEER COOLER.

Cool sounds like Star wars!

Lookin good.😀🇨🇦👋👍

Top job

You have some pros there.

Looks great! We're looking at a Quonset hut in SoCal and was wondering how you finished the interior ceiling, or left it with the foam exposed? Any videos or photos would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Scott from west Alabama I hope one day I meet u some day if u got time

That is going to very nice .... thanks for sharing.. I say WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! ..

Mate once that stuff goes on, it ain't ever coming off. The insulation value should be unreal though. I like the way they insulate in Europe better but they don't have Igloo style buildings either. When that's finished it should look awesome because you won't even see it & it'll be comfy instead like a meat locker in winter.

Scott, two questions. Where did you source the building from? What was the cost on getting it spray foamed? I ask because we are in NC and want to build a building for our 1995 Prevost, as well as our tractor and vehicles. Great work btw!

Thats better than watching sand blasting!

I had my attic done. I went up 3 hours after it was applied. The off-gassing made me sick to where I had pneumonia. Don’t breathe in that room until it’s fully cured and done off-gassing. Ventilate it. I learned the hard way.

Scott what’s a ERV ? This is going to be a very energy efficient home with all this insulation. Looking very nice 👍 have a Blessed one sir.

Awesome

Big job, but totally worth it.

Glad no one fell off the scaffold.

Great choice Scott well done it looks great it's going to make a huge difference when your ready to move in I'm really happy for you and Kelly does the spray foam guy do buses?

I hope drains ok no visible vents . I understand not wanting to put hole in it but I’m afraid you’ll have vapor lock . Must have atleast 1 natural vent even w studors or they will not work.

Youu couldnt have attached some furring strips to the flat part of the ceiling and put 6in tongue and groove planks over the exposed ceiling? or some 3/8ths drywall that would bend around the radius of the ceiling? i guess the screws would have to be drilled through from the outside and they might leak.

Sweet.

yesterday snowing on the outside. today snowing on the inside to match.

Did you do a primer over the galvanized steel before the spray foam?

I used something like that on my building// and keep out water// and you could not pull 2/4 apart after spray it //no nails in 2/ 4 wood

No nail plates on your 2x4’ where the water lines run?
