Shop Progress, Week 5

[Matt Meiser]

It's been about 5 weeks since I started finishing the inside of the pole barn at our new house. Last week I had the flu and didn't make much progress, but this week was better. I now have heat, thanks to the propane company who installed my tank on Friday. Earlier in the week, I finished wiring the lighting.

Saturday two of my brothers helped move everything out of storage and into the barn. It took 1 trip with a 24' truck and two trips with my 5x8 utility trailer to move everything.

Tonight, I started getting organized and started to install the dust collection system.

The three pictures below are overall shots.

Next, a shot of my lumber rack loaded, and the rack I put up to hold pieces of pipe, aluminum, etc.

Cyclone mounted and blower positioned. Still need to bolt the blower down and then start on the ducting. I need to get the ducting up soon so I can return the scaffolding.
