Spray foam

Post by jordan »

This is a smaller world yet, As a general contractor in Minnesota I saw the need for spray foam insulation in homes. Couldn't find a company to do the foaming for us that we liked so I started my own company. That business has become busier than new home construction. The web site is under construction right now but we do have a video that runs for the interim.
(http://www.hisfoam.com) We spray mostly 0.5 lb because of the price point, but do a lot of 2 lb also. I've thought of doing some foam in my boat for sound deadening. Just not high on the list of projects to do to the boat.

Hobbies;
Bicycle
Snowboard
Build custom furniture
Watch ebay for boat items that I think need
Plan what to do to the boat this spring
Drink beer, but after spending 3 weeks in the USVI this winter it has been Cruzan Rum

Small world Jim! We do more .5lb foam because of price and much more board feet. I've had my sprayrig for about 8 yrs doing polyurea coatings, Been doing foam for alittle while but still having a hard time geting the local general contractors to jump on board. I think I need to spend alittle more time marketing and less time working on the boat

My hobbies seems to be work, work and more work. I am a Det Sgt with at NC State University Police Dept. With the economy the way it is, I am staying busy chasing down copper bandits.

Right now I have two hobbies scuba diving and trying to get the boat back in working order.

we have problems here in the Youngstown OH area with guys going into old "abandoned" steel mills stealing copper-about once a month there's a news report about someone getting cooked trying to cut live 440 lines in mills-maybe Darwin was right.

Well that does make is easier to find the suspect! A guy at the scrape yard is from OH and was telling me about that.

It is not only copper. They are now stealing Catalytic Converter. They steal them while the vehicles are parked in the parking lots. You would think not many people are selling catalytic converters... Big surprise,,everybody and their borthers selling them to scape companies.

rjcress you are right down the road.

I wouldn't mention the copper gutters to anyone....they might vanish.... :D I am waiting on some one to steal my catalytic converter..lol

It will be nice to be back on the water.
