I missed a while of these updates, but hope you're back on track after the job loss. The kiddos in the shop space and enjoying it is definitely a plus. I'm not sure where you're at with insulation but if you decide to do more rockwool (I did the same), I'd highly suggest getting an electric...

Updates back to 3/11 are updated in the post prior... the build thread is current. We'll see if I get anything done this weekend as my house upper HVAC went out so we're in emergency work protocols there.

3/11- the upstairs HVAC ceiling cassette was able to be final hooked up with the ceiling finished painting which was amazing news. I lucked out as we did not plan that the louvers pointed AWAY from the staircase to keep the space conditioned better. 3/13- Not a lot picture worthy tonight...

Yea, at 28' you'd need to upgrade to either Steel beams or IJT's I looked at both WAY back. I am definitely glad I have no HOA issues and my county is unconderned on height requirements. My desires to match the house as close to what I did was my own desire. I had friends early on trying to...

Thank you. I got a lot of insight from this community in my planning and definitely wanted to put some of it back in. Kent Island is about 4 hours north of me. Not sure if you are 26 wide and 40 deep or 26 deep and 40 wide, but if its the later I would highly suggest trying to squeeze in...

So we had a nice day so I opened up the shop and gave the third bay a pressure wash/light scrub/squeegee and it came out about 95% which was promising. I'll likely hit it with a quick wet mop and then head to the degreaser next chance I get but I want to get the ceilings painted and lights hung...

Yea I have a feeling it will be a lot of wet moping cycles to get all the drywall dust off the pad. I know I'll have some use dust, but I'll be painting all the drywall very soon and densifying and sealing the concrete to keep that dust down. I have considered applying a single coat of drylok...

They finished sanding last Friday 37 days after they were supposed to start what was sold a 3-day job, they have at finally cleaned out the trash. The two piles of junk that were left for a week, for the record, it was done in entirely 5/8 sheetrock so this is the heavy stuff...

Yea it's unfortunate how bad the GC has managed this, the drywall crew is pretty nice and do good work. But it's still faster than if I were to do it myself so trying to stay glass half full

The last 3 months have been a little hectic. The mini's got (nearly) finished installed. When planning the lower unit's head we thought the lines could zig-zag behind the unit and then out the wall, unfortunately that was a false assumption found after hanging the single sheet of sheetrock and...

We're close to heat. My neighbor who does commercial AC/R came over and got started on the mini's install and got a list of parts needed to finalize. I'm hoping to have the lower running by the end of this week. The Gree unit upstairs has a wired thermostat and I could not for the life of...

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get a notification and hadn't checked in in a few months, obviously. My contractor was "turn key" for the building, dryed it. I made a few selections for upgrades, the 3x4 awning windows downstairs, the second I-beam for zero posts and the 12ft ceiling. The...

Been a whirlwind of a few months with family, funcar and shop work... I'm going to switch to "project grouping" some of the updates as I bounced around the last few months as things got "stopped" or "prioritized" due to weather. Insulation: DONE I finished the last bit of insulation just...

Perlite fill is going very slow due to limited access, definitely a plan ahead thing for future/new builds as this would have been WAY easier before the framing. I had some hours in the day yesterday without wife/kids so I went back to the R30 install upstairs. The R30 mountain is...
