Winterizing The Hangar

Larger version of "Great Stuff". When we renovate our potato storage
warehouses, we have custom applicators come in and spray 3"-5" on the
interior walls and ceiling. Any openings such as a ridge cap are "boxed
out" and left open.

Cost? ....for the larger version of "Great Stuff"?

My thought was "insulation netting" with wire run up and twist-tied to
anything available, then blow in some ...(wait for it) ...old newspapers
into the new attic space you've created.

That blown in stuff is cheap - around here they (give) you the blower, free!

Yours = 1,000 sq-ft (?)

An old parachute as a 'ceiling' under the steel roof... It will slow
the rising warm air from instantly exiting the ridge vent yet allow
moisture exchange...

Good idea! Any idea where I can get old parachutes anymore?

When I was a kid, the old "Army Surplus" store had dozens of 'em.

There is a mail order "surplus" house somewhere around Chicago that had
cargo 'chutes by the millions a few years ago. They used to have a cheap
wood pulp catalog made famous by a male deer cut in half on the front page
saying "cover price, half a buck". ANybody remember what this outfit's name
is/was?

Yeah -- given that a little can of that stuff is, like, four bucks, I
can't imagine what the big stuff must cost!

Hmmm. Remember, we've got lights up there, and electricity...

Glad you're back! How's the Newps 'puter working with a separate
monitor?

I just looked up an invoice for a building we did last summer. It was about
$0.25 per square foot for 3" on 200,000 sq ft.

That's almost as bad as I thought it would be. Dang, that stuff is
expensive!

Of course, it's the most God-awful stuff to work with in the whole
world. Get it on your skin, and it's THERE, for weeks. Get it on your
clothes, and throw 'em away. I can't imagine working with it in an
industrial, large-scale setting.

I'll bet a lot of that expense is the labor.

labor and equipment. Everything , including the floor has to be covered in
heavy plastic. Then the liquid, which comes in 55 gallon drums, is mixed
then pumped into a machine that heats it then pressurizes it through an
insulated hose to a spray nozzle. They show up with two semi trailers full
of stuff. Cat engines driving screw compressors and generators to run the
heaters and the pumps. Nozzles plug often and require cleaning. At the end
of each day it takes hours to clean all the equipment. Like you say, the
stuff is terrible to work with. Anything you get it on is ruined or
insulated.
