Very nice! It is very expensive but well worth it. I'm sure especially up where you live!

That guy is not OSHA compliant...is that a plastic bag over his head?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

dang thats alot of loot, but my friend had spray foam done in his house and you can totally tell the difference.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Shop looks good Lower. Thanks for the pictures from the road, one of the really cool things about your truck is your not afraid to use it.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Spray foam is great. We see it used in houses around here. I’ve been attics with spray foam in the summer and there was some noticeable difference. I’m glad to see progress and see it steady. Are you just doing sheet rock on the walls or will you be using pegboard? My boss used pegboard in his Tajmagarage on all the walls. Worked very good. Looking good dude.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Looking good dude!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Yes CAD. They say 2-3 years
It was just over double what fiberglass insulation would be, but this is 100% air tight and makes the building stronger.
Yes it is a plastic bag he had a fresh air hose plumbed in
Ya it already feels warm and I have no heat yet. My friend did the walls in his basement and it went up 10*
Thanks Rob Maybe next year we will come meet you on our NC trip.
Thanks Matt Plywood on walls, drywall on ceiling.
Thanks I'm happy.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Saturday weather was dry so I brought the truck home from a friends house and got the GM from my brothers. Wow still lots of room. But lots more to come. Then my son and I temporarily put up 2 of the 6 LED lights super bright. Then Sunday night we had our first snow. It is gone now tho.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Looking good dude. I can’t wait to see the shop lit up big time.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

thats awesome to see, but yes things fill up fast and you gotta have discipline on what goes in there or else it will look like all my crapy looking garages!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That's alot bigger than I thought.. looks awesome

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

You and me both
Oh ya we are talking about what will go where
That's what she said ;)

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Shop update: Insulation inspection passed today, all good to finish the building. Also I ordered my garage door but it will be until Dec 5 before it will be put in, oh well. I got my heater mounted, hooked up and pressure tested today. Tomorrow exhaust vent and fill with fluid. Gas will be hooked up next week.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Thought of your trip to pilot mountain. I worked not far from there. This was my view at work today. Darn sideways pic. I swear pilot is there. Lol.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Wowwww..

What a space.. really Nice..

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Ya beautiful place.
Thanks it's getting there.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Shop update: Got the in floor heating system filled with fluid today. Took about 3 hrs to get it filled and air out but it will work. I put 40psi in the system and turned on the thermostat that turns the pump on and the water flow turns the heater turned on. I just don't have gas hooked up yet so it gave me a fault code, but it works. Gas should be next week.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Hopefully it’ll be toasty before too much longer. Nice and warm.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very cool! I need to think about getting my heater serviced and fired up. It's already been below 20 over night here 3-5 times. Winter might actually be winter this year?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I'm hoping. It feels half warm in there since the insulation.
It has gotten that cold here a few nights too, but have been sitting around 35-40* most days.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Shop update: We had another huge weekend in the shop. Called in some friends again and Saturday took us 10hrs but we got the dry wall up on the ceiling. Others where working on the walls. A few of us spent 6hrs and finished up the walls on Sunday. I feel like I got hit by a truck lol. But so happy.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice work. You'll love the OSB walls. It's nice to be able to hang something wherever you want! I painted mine with 2 coats of Behr paint, no primer underneath. I'll have to get the details off the buckets. Took 9 gallons total, and it covered very well.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

man you are going to be snug as a bug

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

whoooooahhhhhh like house quality up in there. can't wait to see the awesome work you'll be pushing outta that place.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Looks very nice! You have awesome friends!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very cool! I was going to say, paint that plywood now! Because you will be amazed how fast you can't get to them and they will never get painted. :lol: Plus it will make it brighter in there too.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Very nice. I like it.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Lower, it looks super. What are friends for, if you can't use them once in awhile :lol::devil:, keep up the great work...Jim

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Ya my neighbor has a commercial airless sprayer I'll be using that. I'm also getting paint with his account.
I will probably live out there
I'm slowly looking for my next truck.
Thanks They are great
It's very tempting to move stuff in but you are right it would never get done. also with the lights I am putting in should be like an operating room for vehicles.
Thanks Matt
That's right. What goes around comes around.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I speak from experience. I never got my big bay painted at the shop I put up at my parent's place. My garage at home has dry wall but no one ever painted it. Well, I failed there too. Now it is good enough until we move. :lol:

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Great looking shop, a shop like that you must be thinking about another project!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Ya I hear you.
Thanks Gary. Yes I am thinking, just a few other things I have to do first.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Shop update:
Gas got hooked up yesterday so when I got home I got the heater turned on. :metal:
I have to start slow so I just went a few degrees above floor temperature to start. The thermostat is for in floor heat so it cycles on and off till it gets to it's set temp. Then this morning the floor had gotten to that new temp so I went up a few more degrees. So far so good.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Lower, that's going to be nice and warm...Jim

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

So glad to see things working out for you.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

I'm not sure how warm it will be in there before I get the big door, but it is ok to work in there right now
Me too.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Shop update:
Last night I bought 10gal of primer and 10gal of semi gloss paint. I borrowed my neighbors airless sprayer and went to town painting. Didn't even need a ladder with the nozzle extension. In just over an hour I sprayed the 10gal of primer then after dinner in about 1.5hrs I got the 10gal of semi on the walls. So nice and fast.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Nice! It took me a few days rolling on 2 coats!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

That looks so nice and good work getting it done so fast!

Re: My 52 GMC Build
 

Now we are getting somewhere.
