Beautiful SPRAY FOAM?! - Metal Shop Build

shop build [Music] foreign for those of you who don't know I've been building this 1800 square foot space for this business that me and two of my buddies run called Automotive aesthetic where they detail cars and basically make cars that look poopy to groovy so anyhow the building was an absolute disaster from the very start this project had its serious difficulties it took a very long time to ultimately show and prove to the company that they sent me probably the worst construction crew on this side of the Mississippi I called lawyers I called friends I called family I called on God and well they finally came and re-did my entire building every single metal piece was replaced the entire roof was redone re-screwed and re- done the moment the building was finally redone and to a point where I could look at it and be like yeah this will possibly last 20 years I felt it was the right time to start insulating and yes Jokes Aside the building is a thousand times better I mean you can it's hard it's hard to put a finger on the right words but it is downright beautiful absolutely beautiful so the moment the building was done and it was at a point where yes the roof wasn't going to leak just like it did the first time three days after a brand new building was complete I felt it was necessary to start insulating because well we've been without a space or we've been hoping to use this space for a long long time and so well we had to hit the ground running so insulating it was you may or may not know I actually was able to collect about 4 800 square feet of three inch rigid ISO foam off a construction site where they were redoing the roof of a school so Bingo Bongo Daddy's got a bunch of insulation for free the three inch rigid foam worked out perfectly because it fit between the studs on the back and the front wall which are three inch thick but the studs on my side walls are only two inches thick we still made it work because I would slap three inch rigid foam between the studs and then I would slip in one inch foam to cover those studs after the fact I wanted to make sure that we didn't have any exposed studs that way any thermal bridging that was possibly going to happen was stopped in its tracks so basically the entire structure has three inches of rigid foam in the walls and not a single part of the metal studs themselves are exposed to the inside of the building once the insulation was done complete I decided to reuse metal panels for the bottom section of my walls I wanted to have a bit of a wainscotting something that was fairly waterproof since we are going to be detailing cars in here I wanted to make sure if it got any splashes on it well it would be waterproof so once we insulated the four walls called in the spray foam guys and well they did the spray foam of the roof I called multiple companies and the company that came top of choice top of the list because of just how much information they gave me the quality of the estimate itself and the amount of information the guy gave me when he came and did it they were an Easy Choice their website is in the link in the description the company is called creative conservation and if you're in the Richmond Charlottesville Central Virginia area definitely look them up for spray foam at first they scared me because they put plastic tarp everywhere it literally looked like they were about to commit a crime in here like that's how that's how particular they were in terms of protecting things like my concrete floor and the interior walls even though the interior walls technically didn't have to be covered they did it and it was it was excellent the first half of the first day they put fiberglass insulation in the eaves and that way they could Flash and bat so they wouldn't cram a bunch of spray foam in the eaves possibly expanding it possibly wasting product and possibly damaging my roof they also used canned foam and certain cracks nooks and crannies just again to make sure that when they had higher pressure spray foam going into these places it wouldn't expand and ultimately possibly wreck this metal because I mean well I guess that felt kind of hard the second half of the first day when the spray foam guys were here they were able to actually start spraying because the temperature was still in the 40s they had to go fairly slow because well you wanted to stick so they would do passes where basically they Prime the surface make sure there's a little bit of product there that's starting to set and then they would come off and do a full swath or full spray load worth of spray foam that sounds weird then the second day they were here they finished up the spray foam and again as far as spray foam goes most spray foam I've seen looks like a bunch of packing peanuts stuck to the ceiling uh I had no idea spray foam could look this good yes it's got a yellow Hue to it so once they were done I waited a couple days even though I really didn't need to because that stuff gets hard real fast I left all the plastic down which came in real handy so thank you for putting all the plastic around here like a Dexter movie and I was able to paint the ceiling foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] whatever [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] really didn't try [Music] while this is probably better part of eight gallons that I use with my paint sprayer I bought a bunch of long extenders for my paint sprayer and used it even though it was wobbling around like an over ripe banana I was able to get the entire ceiling from basically without using a ladder I used a ladder a couple times for the center where it's really high and to get some you know different angles but what you're seeing is two coats of black latex paint [Music] [Applause] so once we finished up putting two panels worth of metal on my sidewalls and back wall it was time to strap so I needed strapping because right now my side walls the distance between those studs are almost 50 inches and that made it difficult to figure out what I could Mount to it I knew I wanted to do some kind of plywood or OSB or some other type of sheathing from the top of my structure down to meet the metal which would be a nice wainscotting but I just I couldn't figure out how I would do it but with strapping it gives you multiple spots to nail into and so that's what we did so I used 1 by 4 stripping or you know one by four soft wood Lumber and essentially I would anchor that in to each stud and I would kind of stagger them so when I put up my vertical sheets of plywood or OSB it would have multiple points to Anchor into the wall behind me the wall That's not done the wall That's not painted that's that's where Dr woodness me fell off a ladder nearly broke both his kneecaps and the ladder's still on the ground and that's why I only see two pieces of strapping up there so I've yet to get the confidence back up to do that part but don't worry we'll get to it so once the strapping was up on the one side wall and the entire back wall it was time to start putting up sheets of OSB I chose OSB because well the price point is ten dollars this building has cost me way more money than I ever anticipated which is okay you know I think we're getting really good quality stuffs out of it but I only have so much money and so OSB it is and for ten dollars a sheet can't go wrong if I have to replace it five years down the road we will but the plan was always to paint it so it would give even more protection from any moisture in the air and this space is going to have HVAC and from what I can tell the way I insulated it there should be little moisture passing between these walls hopefully [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] so we got OSB on the sidewall OSB on the back wall it's looking dialed next up electrician I hired an electrician to help me Mount my panel and just hook it up because the power company won't run power all the way to my building because of the elevation change so we put a temporary or H post structure in which they will put the meter so my electrician helped me I dug the posts I set the H structure itself and we fed the wire and this is going to be getting 200 amp service which will be awesome to have the own you know our own service unadulterated power finally the last update of this update video is I bought color matched screws and boy oh boy does that make a world of difference to give you an idea for 75 dollars I got 500 screws of charcoal gray and 500 screws of black that I'm replacing the old terrible looking silver galvanized looking screws that are on the exterior of my structure and boy oh boy does it ever make a difference roll the clips foreign [Applause] [Music] [Applause] okay so this is the stage we are now at we've got OSB for those of you wondering here in the United States of America this was I don't know like 40 bucks or 38 at the very least when it was like Peak Peak Peak I want to say two years ago give or take it is now ten dollars a sheet for those of you wondering yes plywood is a little bit more moisture resistant now this building should be fairly airtight because I spent the time money and energy and almost died falling off a ladder and so I'm not super curious curious I am curious but I'm not super concerned we've got the metal down here the reason we used metal down here is it's a nice little wainscoting because there is going to be water introduced in here over there which is our wash bay so I figured we'd use some of the leftover metal and this is all reused metal because they had to redo the shop you all know this Saga anyhow I have an 1800 square foot building worth of Steel outside the shop and so I'm slowly using it here we've got charcoal gray here black on the back so the metal actually comes down here the OSB is anchored into the metal for this run and this run of screws and then it's anchored into the strapping that I installed and almost died doing that wall now that wall is not complete yet and so Graham why are you painting well I'm just I'm easing myself back into getting onto a ladder I'm not really scared of it yet I just want to make sure the latter Boogeyman isn't hiding around the corner waiting to pounce on me and break my other kneecap so we're gonna paint today that's what we're doing so give the music let's paint this wall here White boom Bob's your uncle baby [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] so anyhow guys I think that does it for this shop update video things are now moving slow again just because there's a lot of detail work and well I've been injured for the past week and a half nursing my kneecaps after my knees started feeling better I realized I did something to my shoulder too so I'm just like slow moving I'm trying to get to the property but I don't overdo it I'm just a I'm just an old guy now just a little old guy thanks so much for watching thanks for all the comments and supports over during this whole build process quite honestly I wouldn't have been able to make it this far if it wasn't for you guys and your positivity and just yeah this has been this has been a nightmare however we are now at that point where our nightmares are turning into dreams the space is starting to really come together and look like I have always thought it was going to so it's very satisfying to finally be at a point like this where I can tell you I I can see the light at the end of the tunnel um still got to do that wall and the whole front wall still has to be done but I need garage doors before I do that because he has to Anchor everything into the studs themselves so I don't want to put any wood or anything in his way oh wow yeah the space is coming together hope you guys like this little update video I'll show you my bank account when the when when this is all over and we will do a
