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

99 to Life · 11-13-2017, 11:44 PM

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!

piratexpress1369a · 11-14-2017, 10:48 AM

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.

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

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-16-2017, 05:31 PM

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?

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.

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.

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.

**joedoh** · 11-20-2017, 11:23 AM

man you are going to be snug as a bug

99 to Life · 11-20-2017, 01:47 PM

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

**Advanced Design** · 11-20-2017, 02:41 PM

Looks very nice! You have awesome friends!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-20-2017, 04:18 PM

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.

Plus it will make it brighter in there too.

rusty76 · 11-20-2017, 07:32 PM

Very nice. I like it.

**oldman3** · 11-20-2017, 08:27 PM

Lower, it looks super. What are friends for, if you can't use them once in awhile

, keep up the great work...Jim

Ya my neighbor has a commercial airless sprayer I'll be using that. I'm also getting paint with his account.

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.

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.

TIREDIRN · 11-21-2017, 04:05 PM

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

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