Pete F. 05-19-2012, 08:12 AM Too far for me, but it should cost in the .85 to 1 per board foot range for 2# foam. Depends on quantitys, access, competition etc. Tagger 05-19-2012, 07:53 PM Pete ,.,, I've seen kits to do it yourself .. ???? any good ? Pete F. 05-19-2012, 09:11 PM You can buy a froth pak, which is two part urethane foam. You need to wear a respirator, a really good one with the right cartridges. They work best for airsealing rather than trying to do the thermal insulation as foam. the material costs is typically equal to or a little more than having it done. What is your assembly? Example: asphalt shingle, plywood sheathing, 2x12 rafters, drywall Tagger 05-20-2012, 05:08 AM rubber roofing , 3/4 boards , 2x4 rafters . wide open now . will be drywall . http://www.tigerfoam.com/ i'd just soon hire someone though .. learning curve thing .. By the time I'm done I know what I'm doing .. Tagger 05-20-2012, 06:00 AM also Pete when you do the underside of a roof are you using proper vent or something like that to leave an air space . thanks .. Pete F. 05-20-2012, 06:09 AM It's not rocket science, but you probably can get someone to spray it for 1.13 a board foot. I would think someone here might have a recommendation or at least a "no way" for a contractor. ProfessorM 05-20-2012, 07:22 PM map does it Eddie. I looked into it. They seemed fair.

ProfessorM 07-27-2012, 03:50 PM my pleasure, good luck and soon you will be done and sitting on your arse and enjoying all you hard work. I have spent the last month and a half doing just that at my place and it has been a lot of fun. Just towing the boat 6 miles each way to the ramp that used to be 45 each way has been a pleasure and when the albies show up it will be a half mile to the ramp. That being said I still got lots to do but taking some time off the slave driving schedule I was on since last August has been just what I needed to get some new energy needed for the next onslaught.
