Got a little more work done in the shop today. The barn doors still weren't insulated so I started that and covered them with 4x8 sheets of FRP wallboard from home depot. The it makes is similar to the inside of an insulated overhead garage door. Since the doors are framed like a wall with 3.5"...

Thanks guys. The lean to is being priced so we will have to see what the price is. I have asked them to provide materials only and Ill put it up myself so that should help some. Not sure on the lift yet and will have to be down the road a ways. The work benches are melamine sheets that I cut...

I also started the trim on the window, door and baseboards then had to start working on items. Oil changes, brake jobs ect. are never ending around here with all the stuff I have so it was nice to have my tools back in the shop. Also figured with all the work Ill be doing I better have a stool...

Once the paint was done up to about 10 feet I decided to start putting cabinets in and build work benches so I could at least get my tools out so I could do some of the spring maintenance items on lawn equipment, camper and trucks. I also put up some of the lighting in areas I needed it to be...

Its been long time since I updated the progress of my shop. I didnt get it finished before it got cold so didnt work on it much over the winter. Once it started warming I got rolling again and have made some good progress. My painter suggested since the bottom was going to be red that I should...

Finally got the drywall second coated and primed yesterday and today. Sure helped having the lift. I did roll the entire thing so now I'm sitting on the couch watching football. I'm beat and soar from rolling overhead. I may have to spray the paint when I get to that point. Sent from my XT1080...

Thanks for the comment. I have several long florescent tube lights that will go back in. They install under the loft ceiling and up at the tall ceiling. Probably end up with 6 8' up high and 4 4' lower. I will also be painting it bright white so that should help. I believe the codes and...

Are you being serious or sarcastic. I havent kept up with the threads about this topic. Here in Colorado we dont do vapor barriers on houses so I thought it wouldnt be needed on the shop. Do you have insite I should know about?

Little hard to get pictures in the dark but the first coat taping is done. Getting pretty exciting. Might be painting by this weekend. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Good question. The inside of my attached garage is tin done by the previous owner. I guess it's not a look I care for to much. The ribs bug me and your kind of stuck with the color you choose. I like flat walls and the ability to change my mind on colors and such. Guess I didn't give it much...

Drywall guys are going to start taping tomorrow. I'm not going for a full texture job just a nice tape job and paint. Maybe painting by this weekend. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Nice building! Looks similar to mine so I'm partial Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Thanks lowpro. Speaking of color. Does anyone think the interior color should compliment the exterior. I really want to go white for most of it and bright red for the bottom 5' with a black strip splitting. My concern is will it look bad with the outside. Nothing at the property is white. It's...

Thanks for the comment.. We are on 5 acres and keeps the neighbors far enough away. Previous owner did a great job building the property and making it nice. Now it's just up to us to keep it that way and just add our personal touches. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
