Done Foaming

All done! The wrapped up around 3 PM. After spraying the foam they then scrapped clean the studs and did a quick vacuum inside and even outside. Of course there's still a thousands of bits of foam stuck to things but that is to be expected. The smell is already gone

To the photos:
In front, they did the inside and gap from the outside where the new wall meets the old.

In the kitchen the wall thickness doubled to match the back room SIPs so they filled most of the space. They had a bit left in the tanks so they emptied them out on this wall. A bit thicker than specified but that is a good thing.

The most fun part is the access above the pantry to the flat roof. It's like a big foam bubble.
One of the photos is of me in the pantry looking up, you see the access window to the left.

The other shot is me in the attic. You see in the doorway and out the now open window to the flat roof. Apparently code now dictates that it has to be painted with fire rated paint. Originally it was going to be left as you see it. For the doorway, we are installing two doors to increase the R (insulation) value)

Still to foam/caulk:
A gap in the front where the new wall meets the house,
Two conduit runs in the SIP that go outside
A gap where the south SIP meets framing
