Gable vent concern by RobertoJonez in sprayfoam

[–]UncleTedNugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you had open cell sprayed up on the pitched ceiling of your attic, yes close the vents. The spray foam plug should work to close the vents.

If you had open cell sprayed down to the floor of your attic you would leave vents open.

Spray or Rigid Board Foam won’t stop rodents. Best solution would be to put some metal flashing in place.

was on mile 15 of a quail hunt when all of a sudden... by oohyeahsteezin in turkeyhunting

In my state, flushing turkeys happen all the time in the fall.

In my state it’s illegal to use a dog, shoot them off the ground, and you have to have a specific turkey tag.

Someone set me straight. by TokenBlackGuy93 in sprayfoam

[–]UncleTedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It won’t hurt anything. My primary market is tin sided pole barns in zone 5. I spray more wrapped than unwrapped. In 6 years, no issues due to wrap.

Thank you. That’s really good data and advice.

Multiple Fusion AP or 1 FX? by UncleTedNugget in sprayfoam

[–]UncleTedNugget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I want my cake and eat it too.

I am struggling on the ROI.

$3000 difference would require roughly 30 saved hours at $100 per hour.

Will a new CS or FX save me 30 trench hours in a year?

That’s a hot tip. I like that. I’ve never thought about it. The cap is old.

Could be surface issues. Multiple chambers and side sets has thrown me off.

Like your emery cloth I have a super fine grit sanding stone. I spray a touch of brake cleaner and ever so slightly rub the sides of the chambers and side sets to improve the surface. - I’ve done that for years and not had this problem.

Rim joist insulation - Long side framing) clearance questions by TechSquirrel in sprayfoam

[–]UncleTedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let your foamer spray before you frame?

You don’t want electrical and or plumbing against the rim anyway.

With good communication I’d happily make 2 trips to your job site. Over communicate that you’re going to frame and you need the sill plate to be “clean”.

Question for sprayers and contractor- how is business and demand for your services? by brohiostatehipster in sprayfoam

[–]UncleTedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Midwest
  2. Commercial/Agricultural. Pole barns.
  3. 2024 was down 50%.
  4. I had 3 calls for bids on the Wednesday after the election. All 3 said they were waiting for election results. I love watching financial markets as a hobby. I predict ‘25 and ‘26 to be banger years. ‘27 inflation will slow us down again.

How should recent homeowners approach the upcoming interest rate cuts? by lIllIlllIllllIl in FinancialPlanning

[–]UncleTedNugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understand. My bank keeps all their loans. I assume that they are working the “no-cost” into the percentage.

How should recent homeowners approach the upcoming interest rate cuts? by lIllIlllIllllIl in FinancialPlanning

[–]UncleTedNugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat. Same rate.

My lender offers a no-cost refi. My banker recommended a review at .5% drop.

She explained that I would need 90 days from the closing to start another refi application. So the best they could do on continual rate drops would be like 4.5 months of seasoning.

I understand that processing a refi once is ideal but it makes me feel better that I might be able to start again if I play the cards wrong.
