Spray in foam done.
Well, I purchased some spray in foam from tigerfoam.com and I managed to get a hour free to spray this stuff up there. So here's the story. First of all you need to get this stuff to about 80 degrees. So I set up a shelf over a space heater and left it there for a while. I used my pipe theremometers (taped to the outside of the tanks) to tell if I was getting close to 80 degrees. Then I cleared out the space under the cathedral cieling area that I am spraying. You can only stop for a couple seconds at a time without getting a new nossle so I planned to go right through without stopping. After everything was set I started spraying and realized I forgot to put gloves on... I HIGHLY recomend remembering to put on gloves. I also recomend that you not use the "wide agle" nosle. The wide angle nosle made the stuff go everywhere! Including my hands that had no gloves because I didn't want to stop! Anyway, I eventually did stop to get gloves and change nosles and I tried the "cone" nosle - much better. It takes longer to cover an area, but it is easier to control where the stuff goes. I would take some pictures, but the camera is nowhere to be found so I'll probably be covering it all up tomorrow. I did temporaroly install the thermostat and the addition is now officially heated.
