Ok, first two pictures for showing how the FLIR thermal camera works. Here is the pex manifold. You can see the hot water line and that we had the shower and something else going at the same time.

The rest of the pictures are where I found then spots in the spray foam or areas that were leaks due to framing. One of the attic trusses is doubles up because it is a stair area. There was a little space between the two trusses was creating a hot spot. Spraying some foam in between the trusses, into the gap fixed it.

I found lots of spots along the floor of the 2nd floor. These areas were foamed or caulked as best as possible.

Once the exterior rigid foam goes up, most of these problems will be mitigated, but I wanted to fix them as best as I can now, while they are easy to spot with the camera.
