Slick Copper's Build Thread

[Rob H.]

House looks very nice, I'd love to have that garage! Your truck looks great, I wish I had mine back together and looking good! I'll have to make it over that way one of these days.

[mjensen]

Very cool. Looks like a great place to work on your ride!

[NewType72]

well bought insulation is the best idea for that garage wouldn't skimp there goin into the winter months

[slick copper]

Well, I was wondering about that board insulation that you can usually find pretty cheap. Like they use in mobile homes. Anyone ever fooled with that stuff, or insulated a metal building garage?

Spray foamed my metal bld/shop, winter is great. wind noise and squeaking are now minimal. Havent tried to cool it in the summer, but it warms up quick in cold weather

Nice truck you have. Your wife sure did find a great truck for you to start off with. Keep up the working resto you have going. Looking to see more of your future endeavors.

Spray in foam would be the best but it is a little more pricey, If your looking for not to expensive, I would consider 2" high density Styrofoam and then put up plywood/OSB over it and use self tappers to put them into the metal support beams.

Thanks guys! The wife disagrees BTW. She says the shop is the bonus! And she did get an awesome truck. When I pulled the inner fenders to repaint they were solid as a rock! Original!
Where can I get that foam at Adam? The blow in insulation probably would be better, but would hurt my budget too much. Cheapest way I can will probably be the way I go.

Any big box lumber store has it, the brand name is Styrofoam. And blow in is not better, "blow in" is made of cellulose and that would not be good at all, "Spray in" would be better which a two part liquid mixture that when combined reacts creating a foam which hardens and can be cut smooth along the wall so that a wallboard can then be hung.

Rest and gentle range of motion of the sore joints will heal you the fastest if nothing is broken! Get better so you keep working on that truck!

[GMCJOE]

Get some rest man. Sorry to here that, hopefully both you and your mower came out fine.

[shawno72]

Glad your ok Ray.

[Pop's C-10]

man you ride tha mower..not tha other way around

Glad you in one piece fam..

[FrankieD]

I know you said you don't have a lot of money to spend but one og the best ways to keep thee heat in is to put in a insolated celing . My cousin has a 24X72 pole barn we put 3/4" foil backed foam board on the walls and insolated and dry walled the celing. We put a 50'000btu furnace in it and was able to keep it at 65deg with 20deg out side temp, it took a day of running to get it to temp but it made it comfortable enough to swap out the engine in my plow truck. here is the only pic I could find it give you an idea

[slick copper]

Thanks guys. I'm starting to feel better. Can't wait to get working on the garage, and the truck.

[GMCJOE]

You doing alright these days? Haven't heard a much from you since your accident with the lawn mower.

[longbed67]

He's been working so hard on the complete tear down of Copper that he is going to bomb us with a whole pile of amazing rebuild photos and blow our minds!
