When I build a home my Hilti foam gun is on the job from the sill plate up. Any air leaks are taken care of as I progress. No detail is too small to worry about. Wall to roof junctions are of particular importance as are bottom wall plate to deck connections.

I recently put an addition on a Carl Strauss/F.L Wright guest house built in the 60's. It has 24'rafters with cathedrail ceilings all the way to the top. On the old parts of the house and guest house the icicles are down to the deck already. On the two sections that I built there is not even a hint of an icicle. I only had 1/4" more space to work with but thinking a little bit and attention to detail has solved the problem.
