    Building the You Tube compressor intake silencer--read before you build!

    My compressor was loud as hell. I built a lean-to on the side of my shop. Insulated the heck out of it with Rockwool and now I can barely hear it when it kicks in. Best thing I ever did.

    I used Behr one part epoxy on my old concrete floor. Seems to be fine.

    I discussed drywall with my contractor and by the time finishing is done it’s pretty much a wash cost wise. Plus the mess from sanding is awful.

    Here are a few photos of the finished exterior. Sheeted the ceiling in 1/2” pre finished birch ply. Folding stairs to the attic space.

    At the end of 3-1/2 days. Fully framed roof, sheeted and waterproof. Fascia on. Gable door is on site and ready for installation. Shingles tomorrow. I could not be more pleased.

    Father and under 20 year old son team. They will have all the fascia and sheeting done by end of day today. 3-1/2 days. Completely blown away by their speed.
