@juliancate7089 Год назад

Most people don't realize it, but closed-cell spray foam is a polyurethane glue that expands to a foam because of a catalytic reaction. The import point is that it's glue, it's hard, and as a result it adds considerable racking and shear strength to the walls. Not to mention being water and mold proof.

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Good call out! Thanks!

@DieselRamcharger Год назад

the foam is water proof. but it wont stop a penetration from leaking. youll just get pools of water behind the foam.

@juliancate7089 Год назад

@@DieselRamcharger Really? The foam is a GLUE. It sticks to the inside of the sheathing and the framing members. How is water going to penetrate behind the sheathing into the wall cavity if the foam adheres to every surface? But let's just suppose that water got behind the foam, so what? As long as the water can dry outward then there's no problem. Secondly, are you saying that since there's this remote possibility that no one should use spray foam? I suppose you'd rather someone use conventional insulation where any leak would not only get behind the sheathing, but saturate the insulation and drywall as well. And if that's not what you're saying then what is the f-ing point of your comment?

@DieselRamcharger Год назад

@@juliancate7089 Incorrect.

@DieselRamcharger Год назад

@@juliancate7089 you have obviously never installed foam. You dont undestand the differences in sprayable foam. And you certainly do not understand they DO NOT SEAL PENETRATIONS. Go do some real research other than sales lit. Spray Foam DOES NOT FIX LEAKS! Especially roof leaks. It just hides them and makes the origin nearly impossible to locate. This has been tested many many times. Actually tested. By actual people. Doing actual work. Unlike yourself who just offers supposition online.

11:50 All white LEDs are basically blue, using a layer of phosphorus that turn that blue light into a wider color spectrum. However, night bugs use the moonlight for navigation by keeping the moon in the same spot in their eyes. That's why the cooler LED lights attract so many bugs, it's also affecting the insect population, by tricking them into flying around the lamp, not giving them a chance to procreate near water bodies. Here in Czech Republic the Ministry of the Environment released a lighting guide that heavily suggests using downward facing lights with PC Amber LEDs (Phosphor Converted), not just "2700K", as a replacement for the previously used sodium lamps. Both meant to minimize light pollution for humans and animals alike.

We built a 3 car garage for the acreage that we live on. The intent was that the third bay would act as a shop space. It does have tools and a workbench under all of the family's recreational gear. I'm enjoying being a dad that can fix things. When the kids are grown I'll have a shop to spend my golden years in. Life is good when you keep priorities straight.

Looking like a nice place. Looking forward to more on your progress and projects! We don't rescue Stink Bugs out here. No catch and release, as they'll just tell their buddies we are a soft touch! They get into everything and as the name implies "stink" when you smash them. So, we gather them in a lidded cup and into the freezer. Next day, released to feed some birds hopefully.

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Thanks as always! Makes sense on your stink bug management policy. I figure my bug rescues are more likely to be bird feeding operations as well. I don’t spend too much time on the stink or Boxelder bugs in the shed at least; figure there’s so many of them, as long as they’re not destroying something, fine, just stay out of the way please. Hornets I stomp on because can’t have them stinging people. Flies spread disease, are irritating, and leave mess around so they get vacuumed. Critical part of the circle of life, freezers and vacuums… 🤣 Take care!

@lukecurnutte2000 Год назад

@mattbarrett41 5 месяцев назад

I see a lot of comments about water intrusion between the shell and insulation. I don’t know, so I won’t comment. What I do know is how flammable that stuff is. It’s meant to be sealed so that there is fire protection. Latex paint will not work. 5/8 (fire rated) drywall is necessary to make the building safe.

@cheeseymccheese7249 Год назад

I personally would be sketched out with those walls. I know you said flame resistant paint but im not sure if youve ever seen spray foam burn and how fast it burns. You never mentioned if it was class 1 rated so im assuming its not? I would get sheets of roof tin from home depot, the cheap stuff and mount it horizontal on your walls then seal around the perimeters to make absolutely sure no sparks can get under it to the spray foam. Just my opinion but that place it a fire ball waiting to happen

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Bottom line, I will double check with the installer and ask what level of flame protection their foam has. But my research at the time suggested that closed cell foam essentially does not burn well, but it will burn, so experts recommended painting it with that flame preventing coating if it was going to be exposed.

I didn't renovate a building like you, but I did build a 28 x 40 x 10 and ended up having to make the same decisions you did re: insulation, walls, heating/cooling etc. I'm not saying this a criticism, but as an observation for others after doing the opposite which was approx 20% less [had I gone the other way]. I hung roll insulation [walls], and 12"-16" blown in the ceiling-I hung drywall/finished/painted myself which wasn't very expensive, so in the end I had a very finished look with fireproof walls via the drywall, and no exposed wires. I also opted for a home furnace w/AC to keep it inside-that ended up being the most $, but I was able to do this b/c of the 20% I saved. Great video.

how expensive was the spray foam? I went and put the 2 inch foam pad insulation but to be honest it really doesn't do a good job of insulating the building how I'd like. I frankly think a lot of the heat goes out through the garage door not sealing well as well as the concrete being so darn cold since I only heat it when I go back there.

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Just to confirm, are you saying you did 2 inch foam pad insulation on inside of building, or under the pad? I do think the spray foam is nice for sealing because that building is super tight now that I’ve got the garage door installation finished, cracks spray foamed, etc. Stays super nice in there but I keep it climate controlled year round and not sure how much that helps. Foam was between 5/10k; not cheap but working well!

Not to mention turning it all into hazardous waste. Or why did you put a wooden doorpost directly into concrete, when you knew the old one rot away, rather then putting a 10dollar steel post support in it to which you then screw the post? Or why is there no tensioning brace in a 4x3m barn door? Or why did you feed electric junction boxes from the top, so that water eventually will end up in there?

Looks like a mill perhaps ?

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Yup, @brianpeck697 nailed it! It's an Eastwood mini mill. Review here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frbIDbgJ9bY.html Product here: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-mini-mill.html

The insulation is flammable????

OMG, this trend of just painting the spray foam needs to end. You'll regret not having sheathing for proper anchor points. Even with it sealed by paint, that stuff will continue to flake off and get on your projects. Plywood would be better

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Yeah, plywood would be nice for anchors! Not too hard to cut through the foam and get to boards beneath but it’s definitely an extra step and you’re more limited.

Nice work, but never sleep on ear pro and fall arrest harnesses/ropes.

@AndrewReuter Год назад

Thank you, and well said! I rarely mess around with ear protection; my grandpa was deafened after years of farming, and I have no interest in heading that way. But I should have picked up a couple fall protection kits and just figured out how to use them. 👍
