I had a metal building set up with an R19 insulation package, the problem is I am going to have to insulate the eaves as the outfit I bought it from didn't do any insulating in the eaves, so I have a 2' span all the way around a 40 X 60 building that will literaly **** the heat out. It's finished inside so everything will need to be done from the outside, probably urethane, unless any one knows of a better way. I have until summer to decide.

This is a spray in insulation. We use it in some of the high end homes we build. Contractor's price is between $1.75 and $2.00 per square foot. You may be able to find a contractor that will spray it for you. I don't think the spray in type is a DIY project. They have a special mixing rig because the two part system comes in 55 gallon drums. Hope this helps.
Where in Alaska are you? I lived in Sitka for a couple of years.

z28toz06 ,
Save the shipping and drive on over to the Yuan Co. in New Paltz New York. Thats where I got my roll slab insulation with vapor barrier. The R value was 14.5 and is 97% reflective. It came in large rolls for very few seams. I also picked up my 2" thick foam insulation board there as well.
