"You're killing us Smalls, Your're killing us!" I love it! Great work, guys. All hail the champ! Nicely done, Paul. "I think I lost my poker" could be the best line in the video!

I love these kind of DIY/Build/Construction videos where an outside contractor comes in to do their specialized part and they are all in on doing the video I hope they get a lot of business out of this

That big peel on the drywall, I've found that spraying those with some BIN primer (sold in a spray can) keeps the brown paper from soaking up water from joint compound. Helps if you don't want a bunch of big bubbles and delamination.

I love the knowledge and walkthrough with the experts and discussing why and how everything works. wow, this is one of the best build channels on KZfaq for a layman. can't wait to see all the drywall go up. Also another thing under your belt. Great video.

When you live in a colder climate you chuckle a little about the two inches. curious what the math would be if you did the zip sheathing with the inch of insulation then came in and sprayed. You are having the zip sheathiing with the vapor barrier plus the foam insulation with a barrier. Would you do a radiant house wrap then the siding? Not sure it would help with termites- but always thought about pouring a cement sidewalk all the way around the house. One to help run water away frm the foundation- two to keep plants from being right up against the foundation and three- to be able to safely walk all the way around the house.

2 inches of what appears to be closed cell foam. I don't know the cost but i did my house 4 years ago with 6 inches of open cell. 40x60 all exterior walls, ceiling, roof and air ducts in house. My cost was $5900. Best investment ever and house holds cool and heat very well. The reason we did not go with closed cell was a problem someone we know had with closed cell. His new building ended up having to be torn down because the closed cell caused all the lumber to dry rot. A roofer was called to install a solar roof vent and while he was on the roof he experienced a sponge type situation on the roof. They inspected the interior of the building and the lumber was crumbling in his hands sooooooooooo i would say pay close attention to your lumber if you have closed cell foam

Kudos for your honesty about the sponsorship as one of the reason for your choice.

Love that you guys feature the local craftsman and contractors you work with, hope they see some good business as a result

I would never use foam in a wet environment ... like Houston. It may be fine now but houses move and rain gets EVERYWHERE.

I love you guys, but y’all had NO CHANCE against Dad!!! You know that man lives for this stuff!! Keep up the great work!!

Spray foam guy was cool, loved his straight to business style! Nice work too.

Paul is the best!! Love the channel and watching you guys build the stud pack house!!! Keep it coming!!

stilts are safer than ladders if the space is clear and the guy knows how to use them, first time I used them plastering a ceiling, I was really uneasy on them, until I picked up the trowel and started laying on the plaster at that point as soon as I had to concentrate on the plastering I forgot about the stilts and they became second nature.

Of course Paul won that "spray off!" Makes you realize how important years of wisdom in his field can be. Great show guys!!!

In case people were wondering about the cost, I was doing a job and got quoted for spray foam and it came out to being a little over 2x the cost for closed cell vs traditional batt insulation. We went with the batt insulation in the end but there is defiantly a place for spray foam but it is job specific

Don't know why that contest made me feel super happy. Good wholesome content

When I first got my project sprayfoamed I was amazed at how much of a difference it made in the acoustics in the home as well

My husband loves your channel and is the reason im watching rn lol u guys r real and it makes for real content that speaks to everyday people ❤thanks!

This channel and Spray Jones are 2 of my favorite channels.

Big fan of Owens-Corning. When foil-faced rolls of R-19 wasn't enough in my SoCal attic, I opted for cross-laid R-38 and all those summers full of over one hundred degree days didn't bother me any more. Loved that stuff. Pink stuff they used to call it. Installed with scissors about 50 years ago.

Thanks for this video! I didn't know how important it was to check the humidity BEFORE starting spraying insulation. In some videos I have seen, this wasn't mentioned, so thank you! If I was to build my own apartment/garage complex, I would consider some kind of spray foam insulation, but it depends on my area where I live in Virginia.

This is the kind of content that I subscribed to this channel for. I don't know why but I geek out so much on videos like this!

Spray foam is amazing! I used it for my shop and it’s like being in an Igloo cooler. Extremely energy efficient. Later we removed to attic batt insulation and sprayed the roof line of our house. Instant improvement in A/C efficiency. Then remodeling, always remove exterior batt fiberglass and have it foamed. Normal track build 3 car attached garage - outside temp 19, inside 45 and no garage door insulation, yet. Amazing. Good choice for your build, even if you would have had to pay for it.

Just love that guy. He explained everything to the T. Great job guys.

You found a great guy with Joey! Right amount of education and a side of humor. Great job! Paul gave me an idea on how I can fix a problem in my garage. I hope I can find someone who will go along with me. Back in 1950, when my house was built, they embedded the base of the studwalls IN the concrete floor. Back then, they used a product to sheath the outer walls that looks like drywall wrapped in tar paper. That close to the soil, there's been a lot of disintegration. I had a contractor fix the holes with OSB, but it's still wicking moisture and now mice have chewed holes. Maybe this hardshell, closed-cell insulation would stymy the critters.

Really cool to see the spray foam go in! That was really awesome information too. That contractor was so fun as well. Glad you all are making some good connections for the main house build. Excited to see the drywall go up too!

Love it!!! Good Ole Dad wins again 😆. Paul, you crack me me. Your videos are so much fun to watch and learn from.

tbh, i personally can't unsee joey moss looking like our favorite goldfish breeder lol

Nice! We renovated our garage and turned it into a music room. The 2 x 4 walls were easier to insulate to the proper R value (New Hampshire winters 🥶) with spray foam and an added bonus was that the space was super quiet. Spray foam is a great noise suppressor as well!

I always love your videos. Everyone seems to be pleasant to work with. Really enjoyed the guest talking about the spray foam. My husband sprayed our crawlspace and says it was a job!

Joey is a classic craftsman. His guys make it look easy because they are professionals. Paul and gang learned quickly that it is more difficult than it looks (which is pretty standard for any of the building trades).

Also your Owens Corning ad was a no-skip. Owens Corning is a big employer in my home town. Glad they sponsored yall

Crazy, I work in insulation as a project manager. It’s cool to see yall at this phase!

Love the good info on the spray foam low VOC type. Excellent content! Keep going guys,... Love it!

I had commented on that gable wall that spray foam would help stiffen it up. We did this on my son's cabin in northern Michigan and very happy with it. Im going closed cell spray foam on my cabin build as well. Been following Spray Jones for a couple of years

My late husband and I added unfaced R19 to our attic, and 5 years later, I added another R19 perpendicular to what we laid. I also relocated the flex duct work off underside of the roof decking, resealed the lines, straighten the runs with appropriate bends, and buried them under all the insulation. I resealed and wrapped the supply and return lines throughout the attic. The first application of R19 lowered our hvac bill to about 250/month year round. The second, lowered it to about 125/month year round. Compared to the original bills being over 400/month year round, what an improvement. The latest info from the government is a minimum of R40 in attics for most of America. R60 in some places is common. I am not sure R21 is going to be adequate for Houston TX and their longer, hotter, cooling season than East Tennessee. My philosophy is if you have the ability to add more to begin with, do so. But it was interesting to see how it's done.

Paul does such a good job in bringing out the contractors personalities out in these videos.

Great job Stud Pack Love the video glad that you got your chemicals for free but that company did an awful fine job two thumbs up

Looks great! Very informative video about spray foam

Beautiful! Top shelf product right there

Whatever your heating and a/c bill was going to be you just cut it in half. The Bugs hate Foam, Mice Hate foam. Never had a problem with either after I foamed my house. I then put double bubble aluminum insulation across the studs and taped it off. Put a camera on your door bell you won't be able to hear anyone coming up to your porch.

If I was that sprayer. I would 100% make something that will allow me to hang the hose from something. Even if it’s 5 to 10’ away from the business end. Especially when working over head. Even if it’s just for a few minutes. Those few minutes could give me more energy throughout the day.

Guys, you spray foam to seal each wall cavity and then put regular insulation over the top. Best R value you can get and you don't get drafts from wind.

Might just be rumor but I always heard that "fog" you mentioned after s spray job is tiny particles of foam and you don't want to breathe it. It can get in your lungs and stay there. I like to stay out of a spray area unless wearing a respirator for 24 hours.

Pausing at 8:00 just to say that these next few clips are some of Jordan's best camera work. Not being a smartass, it really is arguably his most cinematic filming that I've seen...at least enough for me to take the time to pause and write this lol. Nice work guys - I'm realizing that part of your vetting process for your contractors is finding a qualified professional that is willing to educate the concept, the engineering, the textbook side, the practical knowledge, and all the safety aspects. I'm sure that it makes it harder in the sense that you're finding someone that does all that AND is comfortable being on camera. But the results show EXACTLY the type of content that you're trying to produce, and it's really getting more and more evident that you guys have a theme and a style, and you're killing it. Keep up the good work guys...a truly unique and one of a kind type of channels with a good message behind it.

The pros know! It isn’t always as easy as it looks or knowledge behind the process. Great vid as always.

Great video as always! I have a suggestion/request: I used a product called Green Glue when drywalling my house. It is for sound reduction. Used it in the bathroom to keep loud music and showers quiet in the rest of the house, and used it on the party wall of my townhouse. Can't believe how well it worked. Used it in tape form on the studs in the bathroom and in caulk tubes everywhere else. Would love to see you try the product and show the install. After using it, it was so easy and cheap and made such a difference I wish I used it everywhere. Keep up the good work! Like Button SMASHED!

Love to watch you guys ! God bless!

I appreciate you guys looking out for the environment when doing stuff like this!

The entire time I Was watching the leader of the spray crew I was thinking "I'm not in danger, I AM the danger"... (Walter White from Breaking Bad). Another fantastic video. We are looking so forward to seeing the garage nest in it's final form.

Very cool thanks for sharing

This is great boys! Very excited for you. Awesome content

Man I love this channel. Looking great guys!

Another benefit of spray foam is sound deadening. I foamed my project and my neighbors stop by to see how this renovation is coming and the first thing they notice is the freeway 500 yards away cannot be heard,. The drywall is not installed yet. I do have a major project of shaving over-spray of before the drywall can be put on. Here in Michigan I want all 3 inches of foam between me and the winter. The guys you hires taught me a few things and did a fantastic job. Now some of your viewers might hire them.

Love how everything is coming together. You might’ve ran out if Rad did the entire wall. Videos look great keep em coming.

Great work guys keep up the grind

Looking good guy’s nice work 😊

I'm looking at spray foam for my project right now. What a great episode.

Congrats on moving along!

It just keeps getting better!

That was awesome! Great learning experience and I love that y’all are bringing in real pro guys in their industry. That guy was great by the way. Keep ‘em coming’!

Once again, another fantastic video.

aaaaahhhhhh lets gooooooo!!!!! I love your work your garage/house looks amazing right now, and I can't wait to see the final finish on the house.

Keep it guys it’s coming along nicely 🤙🏽

Looking real good with that spray foam. Keep Up The Good Work KUTGW

This garage build is really a great series. A lot of useful info and tips on a whole lot of different subjects. And a lot of good info in the comments too.

Joey was awesome! Great episode!!

Great work, fellas!

So glad you guys went with spray foam. Amazing insulation product

Should be mentioned that moisture level is important when using Closed Cell foam. Open cell doesn't have the same criteria. I am always nervous retrofitting with Closed cell as it hides water leaks.

That was great fun to watch! Nothing better than great insulation .. and even in Texas it should be insulated like up north in Minnesota .. controlling heat is controlling heat so the roof should be no less that R40. Hear that all the time and its wrong: Don't need anymore than that "down here" it don't get that cold.

I'm old fashioned when it comes to this stuff, but it's fun to watch!

Way to go Paul ! A lot more goes into spray foam then i woud have ever guessed!

Lovin the Dream House Build!

I have open cell throughout my new build. Love it and can really tell the difference in sound and emergency use.

Great Video!

Great job fellas

Y’all have the best contractors!

Happy for you guys!

I love watching it expand

Gotta be one of the best videos in the series so far! Keep it up boys.

Love the content Paul, now lets see the drywall going up. Love the series you've made for Jordan's house. Keep up the great work.

You guys continue to kill it. Explanations are superb, professional and entertaining. Id say 'keep up the good work'.....but that's a given for you guys.

Keep it coming Stud Pack!

Awesome! CAN'T WAIT FOR DRYWALL!

👍👍👍 I’ve been working a bit with Mr Mike at Spray Jones….. lol. Planning what I’m doin for our home with spray foam. Good job Boys!!!

wut wut! Lookin' good fellas! Keep up the GREAT WORK and AWESOME content!

Oh, man -- i bet you guys get more and more excited every day -- progress is flying! Looking forward to the Drywall vid!

Smashing it, totally awesome as always :)

Congrats gang!!!

A huge point is that this garage, flat is airtight. So all venting will be forced tru piping. - But my oh my your still in the stoneage with loose wires in the wall. In europe its all running inside sleeves, so if you where to change a wire or add one, you can after the wall is sealed.

Spray foam seems like it would be a pain in the future for wire repairs or remodels

Looking good fellas

Very nice!

Bang up job.🎉

Looks great guys, seems like you got a very high quality contractor. Crazy to me to see 2” of insulation go in, where I live 8” is required now I believe. 2x6 exterior walls and 2” foam board on the exterior is what I usually see.

The problem that I see with spray foam is that it is very touchy and there are so many variables that each have to be right, or you get a disaster. If it does not cure correctly, it can ruin the structure. Removing it and cleaning up can be a nightmare.

Joey from A-1 was very entertaining as the emcee and judge of the spray-off. The winner should get a King Cake! LOL

you guys always keep me smiling😂

Thanks Joey and A-1 Insulation! Thank you too Owens Corning
