Used/cheap shop building

Catching up on this thread. A guy I work with had his 30x40x12 spray foamed. It was substantially less than 16k. I’m thinking it was 4200ish. He’ll be in here for coffee in about 30 min, I’ll ask him.

What’s an Oklahoma downburst?

It's the same as a Kansas downburst...just sounds more southern.

Please do, cuz if it’s closed cell spray foam and 3” thick that seems incredibly cheap

I just paid $6200 to have the two sides of my barn spray-foamed. 12'x25'x9' per side. That was for 2" thick, closed cell foam. It was the best price I could find.

$4200 for a barn that size would be a no-brainer and I'd find the money...before the crack that guy's smokin' wore off.

Would you Tyvek or something so that the foam wouldn't actually bond to the metal? That's the only issue I see with spray foam (other than it's expensive). I'm just wondering when it comes through and hails on your roof, wouldn't you lose all your insulation too if it's sprayed on the metal?

You want it sprayed on the metal. It creates a great moisture barrier. Hail is not gonna knock this stuff off of anything. It's extremely difficult to remove once it's applied. It also adds a substantial amount of structural integrity to metal-sided buildings.

I'd certainly recommend getting all your electric installed before the foam, if you decide to go that route.

He did 2 inch close cell and it was right at 5k

 

[OK Corgi Rancher]

That's still a good deal. 2" is plenty of foam for a shop.

My dad was busy tonight so I solicited (forced ) my 12 year old boy to help. I just did the back wall since there are only 2 posts. But got that back wall done tonight. Getting close to concrete time
