Yeah, I agree, it is real efficient...just giving you my experience, may depend on size too, my house is 30x66 I put plastic down (can't remember mil value), and 2" underfoam. Don't let my account turn you off, some good insight on here!

I think you'll be fine, is your floor done? That is the biggest thing, don't sweat it, spray foam is awesome, just make sure it's done right. For a shed, if you can afford it,you'll be golden! If you do it, do it ALL (walls, and roof), you'll be sorry if you don't!

We sprayed our whole house (closed cell). We have to run a dehumidifier or it rains inside during the winter. Sounds like you sealed your house really tight and it needs a heat recovery system to bring in fresh air and exhaust some air. I would suggest you check the Carbon Dioxide level in your house it can create a seriously dangers level on houses that are so tight and have no ventilation system to exhaust stale air and bring in fresh air. I have checked a number of high efficiency houses and found really high levels of Carbon Dioxide .
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

dry surface of at least 40 degrees,3" on walls 5" on roof.....if you have a ceiling you can blow fiberglass on top of it to save a little $$

It'll be spendy!
Personally, I'd spray the walls and finish the lid than blow in fiberglass in the attic.

He says if you spray the entire thing its going to sweat. I just hated to spend extra money on insulation to make it sweat. I have no idea, that's why I am asking.

One way we used to do it was to put hi density 4x8 styrofoam panels on the ceiling stringers from the room side, then put blow or roll in insulation in the attic area above. You can put longer nails thru your interior finish ceiling wood, or longer screws thru the Sheetrock if that’s what you use to finish the lid. As for sweating, you need to keep the air circulating and replenishing from the outside. No big deal. The room just has to breath. Healthier for you too.
