rusty76 · 11-08-2017, 06:32 PM

Ya big bridges are cool. I don't even really care when it's done, I just want to get the heat working.

Ya lol I was wondering if it would catch anyone

I think the truck will run out of gear at about 95mph

Shop update:
I wrapped the shop by myself tonight. Now the building will stay dry. It was dark when I finished so I get a pic tomorrow. Spray foam should still be tomorrow so that's cool..... or warm lol

CAD?

I would like to think that kind of insulating upgrade would pay for itself pretty quickly.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-10-2017, 01:04 AM

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

OutlawDrifter · 11-10-2017, 11:32 AM

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

99 to Life · 11-10-2017, 12:52 PM

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

47 Fasttoys · 11-10-2017, 02:46 PM

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.

rusty76 · 11-10-2017, 06:51 PM

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.

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

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.

rusty76 · 11-14-2017, 07:28 PM

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.

YahamaR1 · 11-15-2017, 12:13 PM
