Back @ it
Should be throwin the tin on next weel, the build the booth,
sh*tter, a/c room, wire it then insulation and finish inside.
going to be a real nice addition! Anxious to see the pics when the tin work is done!
Don, are you letting the supplier erect the red iron and put up tin, or are you doing that yourself? I had not realized your new addition was deeper than the original building - it's indeed going to be a nice shop.
With the iron up, it seems so much bigger than I thought it would be. I will be nice to work in.
Doin it myselfQuote:

Lookin' good, Don! I did my wood structure barn about nine years back - lots of screws!! Ya' got any help holding tin, or you winging it alone?
Doin the sides myself, got a couple buddies comin over tomorrow to help put the lid on.
Back lid sheets are 26 ft long.
Little ruff for 1 guy.
Don, How are you going to insulate it?
You got that right! Especially if there's any breeze at all, and it doesn't take much to turn a piece of tin that size into a sail! How about insulation? I used a bubble wrap with foil one side, white the other for the roof panels, but have never done my walls. What are you using?Quote:

Then combonation, white tin and dryall entire inside.
Will also install a 5 ton heat pump for a/c and heat.
I hope them guys lifted the steel mesh as they were pouring.Quote:

Plus god knows what else, but still plenty of boxes and crates out in it.
Gotta have "STUFF" when yer a 1 man show.
Started on the inside last week, all walls up
ready to run electric, water and air lines.
Then insulate and sheet it off
Looking great on the inside too, Don! Going to be a very nice shop when you get finished up!
If you are running air lines inside the wall are you using something other than copper or iron lines? If so, what are you using and how are you addressing the moisture problem?Quote:

Looks great, Don! I wish I had a bathroom in my shop, that's worth all the effort just by itself.
Don,
You mention rocking the booth, and that your spray insulation is in. Are you using white metal wall panels for the interior finish for the inside walls in the main shop, other than the spray booth? Just curious, as I really need to insulate my walls in the barn. Did you use something like this for foam, or did you have it done? Foam Insulation Kits by Fomo Foam Spray Foam
Roger, Yep ---- Inside of boothand bath is being done in 5/8 moisterproof drywall, everything else is covered in ag panel(steel ).
The stuff yer lookin @ is ok, but I found a local contractor to come in and spray 2 - 2 1/2 " for around $1.10 a sq ft.
He was in and out in 3 hrs and I started hangin metal right away.
Can tell the differance in the sound and cooling already and I ain't done yet.
Once the A/C and heat is in it ought to B a real pleasure workin in it
Don, lookin good! You need to post a pic of the sign above the walk in entry door. That sure puts a guy at ease when he walks in! Makes a guy feel right at home. I'm still laughing over that one.
UPDATE:
Got all the sheetrock done and painted, started to move STUFF in.
Gonna take a break for a while.
Gotta go over the Roadster Pickup so I can leave for the L.A. Roadster show next Monday (2700 mile round trip)
Goin out with a few buddies, 1 from No Carolina, 1 from Kentucky and 1 from Flordia, all 32 Ford roadsters. This is gonna be 1 F U N T R I P !
Will unload all the big stuff ( lift, welders, air compressor etc) when I get back.
Then, time to rock and roll again.
Yes sir you sure no how to make a big space small :eek::LOL::LOL:
