Thanks for the info guys. I'm a contributor now!
As far as the strain relief concerns, I understand. I can easily modify the design to accommodate that. No worries. One more course of OSB and...
Jim, could you check my account. I can't DM anyone or see my posted pictures. Thanks
Update: 2nd course of 5/8 OSB is up on the walls. Pic below. The third and final course which will be 7/16" will go up in a week or so. My progress has been slower but steady. I finished the...
The thicker OSB will be from 3 to 7 ft on the wall. That's my target area for hanging stuff and I think it will hold screws a little better. It's about 3 bucks more than the 7/16 sheets, but I...
Thank you kindly, Bruce.
Hi All,
Been a while since I've posted. Haven't done much to the shop until yesterday due to health issues. My son came out to the shop and helped me put up the first 3 ft course of OSB. There...
I knocked out the interior framing in the barn for the OSB sheathing this weekend I took the week off from my day job and will start wiring all the electrical tomorrow. I hope to get that phase...
I'm planning on spraying Kilz oil based because of the stories I've read on latex as a first coat. Yes it's a pain to clean up with the sprayer, but I want the best coverage I can get that won't...
Good to see someone from our neck of the woods on here Jon.
Looking forward to seeing your shop go up. Looks like it's gonna be great!
For those that are following along with the shop build out, the final phase starts in one week. I will be framing the entire shop for interior walls first, then running 750 ft of electrical wire and...
Thanks for posting this Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to do it. I like that telescopic pole in the video. It looks promising! I may have to invest in one, it would save time and effort. ...
Great minds think alike Frank. I bought a Graco X5 airless about 5 years ago to paint my house. Glad I held onto it! :D
Absolutely. The more light, the better!
Thanks for the suggestion on the thicker stuff. Currently in my area, 7/16 is $8.55, 5/8 is $12.21, 3/4 is $19.48. So 5/8" is probably the upper...
Hi all,
A quick planning update on the shops. For quite a bit now, I had planned to finish off the interior walls with barn sheet metal, floor to ceiling. I've had a slight setback to the budget...
I like that idea too Jim. That would be an easy and cheap idea to implement.
Good point Russell. I'll definitely be doing some of that.
Yes sir! I've been waiting a longgg time for this. Happy now that it's here.
Bought it off a guy on Facebook who was selling old city lights that were replaced with new models. I guess he works at a company that buys the old ones when they are updated. It's an LED light...
Hi guys,
I finally got my tools unpacked and things setup in the shop enough to make it functional. This is the initial setup. I have lots of electric to run still. I have many more lights to...
Me too Chris! I have a large computer desk project for a client in January that will need paint applied in the new room. Hopefully it will all work out great. I've still got a few things on the...
I've adjusted my design to allow for either positive or negative pressure depending upon the material being sprayed and how well it performs under various conditions. I'll have intake and exhaust...
Looking forward to seeing it go up. Post lots of pics!
Hi Tom,
There is OSB decking above for the loft storage area. Right now there's no plan to close in the joists below, if they start gathering a lot of dust or become a problem, I'll install OSB...
