Re: Expanding Foam and You
thanks for the kind words
i took some photos but the effect is hard to photograph. it has subsided a little from what i first saw so that is good but its is still visible. i should have tried to take pics when it first happened as it would have been easier to do since it was worse then... but bad weather, being busy at work and not really wanting to look at it conspired against me.
ill post the ones where its somewhat visible in the shot.
the cheapest solution at this point is to just live with it lol.
i decided against fiberglass insulation early on because i hate the stuff and i didnt want fibers coming loose over time as i drive, getting into everything (this is s fulltime boondock build as well as daily driver). even the stuff that is wrapped i didnt trust so for me it was a sandwich of 80 mil sound deadener, 3/4" rigid xps and reflectix. spray can foam used in the aforementioned studs as well as nooks and crannies. reflectix hasnt been installed yet but the difference in sound and temperature so far is incredible. its very comfy. i plan on facing it all with a combination of luan plywood and in some areas wood boards (hardwood flooring or 1x's in maple ??) to make mounting stuff easier.
wvvan was my inspiration early on to document the build but in a testament to his efforts, its not easy to remember to stop what youre doing and take photos. i do have some to post and i will soon but man he really does an amazing job.
