Shipping Container Home Insulation Install: Insofast System |Building a 20ft Shipping Container Home

I did it girl hey no back up okay you guys stay dad's got to go to work yo welcome back to containing luxury on this episode we're going to be installing the in so fast system let's get started before we get started on to installing all of the stuff that you see behind me just remember this is a giveaway container so once we're finished with the construction this we hope to give it away but in order to do that we need all of this support from everyone watching our Channel so there's a link in the description we're trying to hit a twenty thousand dollar goal and then we can give this thing away to one of our lucky subscribers so with that being said let's get started so we're gonna walk through real quick what we did with this in so fast system so after we got it all unloaded okay we got the in so fast here boom let's get it off lucky we got the boxes opened up and we started figuring out what panels went into the different locations and one thing you'll notice real quickly is that there's two different types of panels there's the CX panels which I believe are called CX 44s and those are the thick corrugated panels that are meant for the sidewalls and then there is a UX panels and those are 2 inches thick they're the same panel that they use to insulate concrete basements which I think are fantastic for that but those panels only go on the ceiling and then the back wall and though the stud spacing on those is 16 on center and the stud spacing on the CX 44 panels which I figured out why because of the corrugated sections was that a weird like 20 or 21 inches might have been 22 I'll have to find that out but either way it was a weird stud spacing not your standard 16 on center or 24 on center which I was baffled by until I came to the conclusion it was that way because the recessed locations on the container itself it was where it could bury all the way so once we got into installing the system we did watch a couple of the in so fast instructional videos there was also instructions included in the kit but I'd done enough research about it so fast I kind of already knew exactly where you apply the adhesive so I had plied the nice heavy bead all the way up each of the studs on the backs only on the studs and then I ran horizontally across the panel a long way in three sections some additional adhesive but then I also even took the spray foam gun because I was foaming in between each panel and I applied a little bit of the spray foam in three locations in between the studs bases as well as just an additional seal to try and make sure everything was nice and completely sealed to the container so and then as you lock them together you'll notice that we staggered each panel and they stagger exactly to halfway so that you make sure there are electrical raceways they match up and then it was this pretty much Tetris ingham all together this notch out because I wanted to try and keep this one solid piece and then there's the angle iron there which didn't sit quite nice and tight it was bangle I was holding it off a little bit so what I did was I kind of set the piece end I got this come out and now I tacked it a little bit and I could see where the angle iron was and I used this little my shank that I made and I kind of not I cut out this little notch but I made it nice and tight and then I spray foam behind this fan on our angle iron all the way around and I even spray foam in between and set this panel in so everything is super tight it turned out pretty nice but now I'm really getting the hang of it it wasn't that quick in the beginning and you know I think for a do-it-yourselfer this is probably easier than the alternative but if you're like a contractor you're probably going to be like me and at first be like I don't know if this is any faster but now as I'm getting a couple panels and I'm starting to kind of pick up the swing of things and figure out what tools are the quickest for me so I set up a table saw a jigsaw and then my crazy metal sawzall blade with electrical tape that I made for my little I call it my in so fast shank this thing is working amazing for all these little tricky cuts I'm kind of going through I'm doing oh yeah thanks to tight just ensure it's really nicely sealed falling behind here just make sure it's good flange make sure that's good okay boom 12 inch piece so I still have my top 10 and I still have my bottom slot where the other thing from the top one goes into and since this one is this way I still have my groove here so this is my factory edge factory edge factory edge and I made my cut here there we go now I got it in there so I'll actually apply a little bit of adhesive I think here and kind of slide it into place and then this foam actually holds it pretty well as well I just duplicated that time and time again so when making those back corners the CH panel actually fits into the side just as you if you were continuing the c-axis down the side but then that leaves a little two inch strip on the inside of the corner so what I found was that these back wall inserts are actually perfect depth for that so what I did was I just took one of them and I ripped them through the table saw at 2 inches so that end up making my little blocks that I spray foam and then stick in and it makes it perfect 90-degree corner so between just this this quick thing ripping it through the table saw and the the CX panel which I can use just anywhere as long as I cut the fins off then I'm eliminating waste almost all together like I've almost no ways through this so far so anything I had to cut off I'm reusing all those little pieces so it's coming together pretty well but that's a good little trick for those corners it actually made it really fast the when I got to the ceiling portion of the the build it was a little bit more complicated I I did watch you know in so fast instructional video on it where they insulated it in 12 minutes I realize real quick they had every single piece cut already and they probably have a lot of experience doing this so for me it was not even close to 12 minutes I pre-cut my panels and I kind of adjusted things first I put my I cut my first ones I put him in wedged him in they didn't want to lock together it was kind of a battle so that I could give myself a little bit more room cut the next one's a little bit smaller put those in and it was still a nightmare trying to get them in especially by myself and I'm not six foot five like the guy in the video so I'd use a ladder which I'm trying to do foam all the panels by myself trying to get them and and slide them in it was not easy it was pretty messy I got foam I have glue so it was a little bit of a process but once I kind of started getting a system to it I was getting pretty much to the end but it did start getting a little bit quicker for me but it still was not as simple as as you know they show insulating the whole system in 12 minutes okay there's really two steps to it you have to put all the inserts in first and then you have to put all the panels in which those videos broke up even if you did it as fast as they had it but again they did not do any of the cuts on the film so really it was like a two-hour process to be real gluing and inserting all the ceiling panels which is still not a bad amount of time it's only 20 feet if this was your first time doing you know regular framing it might have taken you that long as well and then you'd have to get the spray foam company to come in I will say the spray foam though would have been a much higher r-value than what I achieved with this but I am happy with how well it's sealed together and the overall simplicity of a do-it-yourselfer system I think that you know for most of the insulation of framing process it was relatively easy it was a little freshening from a contractors standpoint but for I do it yourselfer this would be I think probably the easiest way you could you could do it so that means I will have gone through 13 tubes yeah I'll have one more tube besides this one [Music] you're pumping it out no that was that thing okay for a contractor it's frustrating only because of the learning curve we already are set in our ways so I was immediately built like I can do this a thousand times faster not using this you know and as I got a little further in I was like okay you know maybe if I was doing a bunch of own I could you know I'd probably have a system in place now I know what tools I'm setting up and where and how much glue I need and how much foam I need and so there's definitely that learning curve time and then I was really battling it once I started getting into the electrical phases but again I started figuring out ways that it would started going a little bit faster but we'll cover on that once we get to our electrical video so that's pretty much it for the installation and how it kind of went along and you kind of see in the video how we applied that adhesive what adhesive we're using and what foam we were using all that kind of stuff so we'll have links to all the stuff that we used which you can purchase at Home Depot or amazon.com there's also a couple of specialty tools you may want to pick up or you can always just use my little trick of my in so fast shank so again we hope this video has been useful to
