JJackstone,
I've never seen that Ohm's law wheel before, so I stand corrected. No worries dude, you're not a pain. That's why I love this site. People are willing to share knowledge.
Take care

I didn't realize asking about spray foaming an attic would cause such division. This difference of opinion could actually be very good in coming up with a way to quickly, cheaply, AND qualitatively...

Piwoslaw,
