Cutter, I'm assuming you're talking about the spray foam insulation. I know the cost on that is outrageous as I looked into having my 80 x70 barn done. Fortunately, I found that a guy who owes me money works for a company that does that so I'm getting the labor "free" in one sense now. The dead cost of the material itself is still going to run me into the thousands but I'm going far thicker than just an inch, too. ;o)

One thing he did tell me was that the hotter it is when you do this, the better the insulation will be. Apparently the stuff expands far better the hotter the ambient air temperature is. My plan then, for what it's worth, is to suffer through the rest of this season and buy my materials at the end of season pricing then have it done in August when the temps are in the nineties. He told me the same amount of material can go twice as far (or, obviously, twice as thick) at 90 degrees versus 50 degrees.
