New project car shop

[Captain]

I’d love a shop that size! But I’m not good with heights, so someone else would have to put it up for me. Looks great

Nothing Higher than a Bar Stool for You, eh?

Fighting Shop Envy. Even if it is too small - it's less too small than mine but a lot.

LOL thanks Dan.

I know it's too small, especially being a dual-purpose building. My wife gets agitated when I say that out loud.


Honestly, my other building will almost fit in the "small" half of this one. I'll make it work! If I survive the construction.


pergola phase complete

Thanks Dave, I added a pic for you in the last post

Any bigger and it could pass for a hangar!

Looking good... metal roof? are you doing anything to muffle the noise?

You know, like an engine Dyno and a healthy large displacement engine, brand of your choice, turning 7 grand thru open headers? 5 minutes later and you won’t notice any other noise… ever again!

I have the hearing aids to prove it. Dyno noise and playing Rock n Roll on stage.

yes metal roof. Noise?!? pffft My ears already ring constantly

It's getting double bubble / foam roll insulation under the metal to cut down on condensation until its properly insulated.

I don't really have a final insulation plan yet. I'm still 100% focused on getting dried in. I HATE all of this work being exposed to the weather!!!

My building came with a roll insulation that fits between the perlins/girts and the siding. It has a white plastic sheet on the inside and something (I forget what) on the outside and, IIRC, about an inch of fiberglass in between. It works pretty well though I'd like to have another layer between me and the outside world.

Between that and the tinnitus, I just turn up the tunes!

It's your job to work, it's ours to distract... how we doin'?

HaHaHA

My "hard labor" part is mostly over. Still plenty to do, but today, I'm just watching the "pros" install my new roof.

It's going to be a huge relief to have this pile of lumber covered up!!!

My stress level can start ramping down once it's all dried in.

[DirtyWhiteBoy]

The guys are making it look easy. The back side is covered by lunch time.

[DirtyWhiteBoy]

It rained here Saturday, and for the first time in several weeks, I DIDN'T CARE!!!!


I'm so happy the lumber is covered, I can't stand it.

The building is now BIg Booty Judy approved!

It looks like I need an addition already

Windows are all in some still need to be taped up.

The french doors should be available today, the soffits tomorrow, and the overhead doors sometime next week.


The dried in milestone is within reach.


Someone PLEASE tell me WHY some photos are blocked? The site just rejected/blocked 2 of 4 photos. I tried renaming and rescaling I don't understand what it wants me to do.

[dave.g.in.gansevoort]

That photo thing happens to me all the time. Same thing, resizing sometimes helps, sometimes doesn’t. I blame it on gremlins, and not the AMC kind…
