Good idea on the painting first, Was, but that would have required "forethought", and "planning". I came to the same conclusion when I noticed how aged the paint was under the eaves - about half-way through sheathing the west side. On finishing the soffits, I'm going to wait (since it worked...

I was able to finish up the wall sheathing on the short shop Monday night after dinner.. Making the outside corner fit went pretty well - it was a mirror of the other corner except that the base was flat, so detailed cuts were only needed at the top. The inside corner where the short and...

13) Install wash sink Ok, now I'll stop

Oh yeah, add to the list: 10) Paint under the eaves of short shop 11) Install hardlines and hose reels for compressed air 12) Paint the OSB in the tall shop ...and the beat goes on...

Thanks, Plain! I still have a pretty good list before it becomes a real "working" shop: 1) Remove shingle roof from short shop and brace the ridge beam 2) Roof sheathing on short shop 3) Coat the floor in the tall shop 4) Wiring and mounting for A/C units 5) Install A/C units 6) Install the...

Nice work on the bench tops. What product did you use, how durable is it to hammering, welding sparks/heat, etc.?

I did complete the corner trim between the north and west walls. Another one of those figure, measure, mark, repeat 3 times then cut efforts. None of the 4 corners of the corner trim were at the same elevation, so it did make it a challenge. I'm pleased with how it came out. Then it was...

In order to complete the sheathing on the east side of the existing shop (the one side remaining to be sheathed), I had to get the sheathing behind this: Note that the there's not much room between the conduit and the existing wood panel, especially on the feed conduit (which is IMC, and...

It's been a busy new year, with somewhat of a hiatus in work on the shop in January, but there are other priorities. We want to add some farm fencing to divide up our property a bit, and in one 50' section right where we want to add fence was a 1 block high block wall. We figured that had to...

Any updates on Tommy's condition? I've been watching the GoFundMe page, and nothing new since 12/28.

Yeah, me too. With the holidays, and a special gift of the respiratory crud, I haven't got much done. Finishing up the west side sheathing is about it. Maybe tomorrow, if I have enough energy to climb a ladder.

Way to go Tommy!!! Keep up the good, hard work! Praying for you daily! Glenn

A GoFundMe to help defray Tommy's medical costs has been set up at medical-support-for-tommy-ttmotorsports. I'm sure any and all support would be appreciated. There is additional information there on the accident, Tommy's injuries and current status. Please keep praying for him and his wife.

I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, I'm praying for both Tommy and Lauren (who I assume either wasn't involved, or at least wasn't as seriously injured). Randy, LX, if there is anything we can do locally, please PM me. I'd be glad to help. Glenn

Hopefully the hardware cloth behind it will keep the birds (and other critters) out Yep. I ordered the sheathing for the short shop at the same time as I ordered the tall shop to get the best color match. Luckily we used a standard color, so I could buy the additional trim pieces that I...

I didn't make as much progress over the thanksgiving holiday as I had hoped, but some was made. And Thanksgiving IS a time for family and friends. Also, I traditionally put up my Christmas decorations on Black Friday, and that seems to grow every year... But I was able to get started on the...

And of course the thing you DIDN'T give away, but transported 900 miles will be in that tub that you didn't look in until AFTER making the 40 minute round trip to HD/Lowes to buy another one!! :)

Thanks, Dude! Posts have slowed down a bit here, but I hope to get some more work done over the holidays.

No hail in the East Valley, but we've had almost 2" of rain at our house since Monday - which is about 22% of our YEARLY average...

If you pre-drill multiple sheets, make sure that you clamp them together before drilling, or the bottom sheets won't match the top sheets.
