I had a company come in and do the cellulose. They put a synthetic netting on the walls. It holds the insulation in but lets air flow out as its blown into the cavity. None of it was "sprayed" in with a binder. Its all loose. In the walls they desnse packed it, in the attic its loose fill...

Its been awhile since I updated this thread, but work has been moving along this summer. I wanted to get it done before the snow flies so I hired out some of the bigger hard to do alone jobs like hanging the ceiling, insulation, etc. Here are some photos to catch up on the progress. (Sorry...

I have never seen an insulated floating floor in a workshop/barn/etc. Have you installed it yet? Just curious what you think of the results. -Chris

Well atleast there has been blessed silence since then for you. Whats the saying? Tall fences make good neighbors? -Chris

About 5'. Perfect for my wife, little short for me. But its only a storage loft so it works. -Chris

I've heard a couple people suggest this. I ran PVC conduit so I can run that at any point. I will probably do this eventually. -Chris

Another update... The wall framing is done.. got the windows and door in. Interior doors are hung. Still have electrical rough in, and a few things at the garage door to do before rough inspection. Cant wait to get it insulated and the heater up and running. -Chris

I'm kind surprised by the number of local people on here. Anyway.. nice to talk to neighbors. Glad to see there are so many builders/barn guys out there. Progress from last weekend: Flooring on the storage loft, and outside of the 2 rooms Joist midspan bracing and electrical rough in...

I don't remember the name of the color but the product is called "Ultra 2000". I got it at a local building supply place/lumber yard. I know you can google the name because I found the product info online. I'm sure they have the colors on the site. -Chris

I decided on 7.5' on ceiling height. I wanted a little extra space in the loft. And I'm using 2x12's because of the 16' span. -Chris

So this is going to be a bit out of order... But I'm making progress. Interior materials showed up... I've been working on the storage loft/offices. And I've been bringing supplies home however I can :) (Yes my daughter is sitting in the passenger seat) And I've got the conduit run...

Been busy on the inside... making a storage loft and 2 "offices". I'll post pictures soon. Oh and got all my conduit in the trench awhile ago... but havn't had time to fill the trench back in. -Chris

Look'n good. First time I've heard of someone storing a helicopter in their garage. My Father in law had a inslge engine cessna in his garage for a long time. -Chris

Brother of a friend came over and dug the trench between the house and barn today. ~110' in an hour and a half. Right now I'm planning on putting the following in it: 1" MDPE Gas Line 2" PVC Electrical Qty 2 3/4" PVC Electrical (communications, etc) Qty 2 1/2" PEX (for future compressed air...
