7/20/18 - Got out to the shop late, so not much done other than finishing some plastic work and disassembling the fan controls to get ready to cut the holes in the metal panel that will go over them. 7/21/18 - Managed to get the outlet openings cut and the panel up. 7/22/18 - Reassembled the...

7/18/18 - Another productive evening as I cut and installed the last four ceiling panels. Each of these was easy to put up, once cut. I used the shears this time to reduce the amount of cleanup. Each panel was about 18" wide, but since they were smaller and didn't have to wrap the knee braces...

FYI - If anyone is doing a similar project, I have two unopened rolls of insulation left over and I've posted them for sale in the classified section.

Hi all - I have two full rolls of unfaced insulation left over from my project. Much quicker than using the little rolls from the big box stores, plus you can do what you want regarding a vapor barrier since this is unfaced. I purchased from here...

Looks very different from the beginning already. Do I see a feline project manager in that one picture?

I'll be following along! My hay barn was at least a steel building, but it has still been a labor of love to do the insulation, wiring and other stuff to turn it into my dream shop. But the sense of accomplishment is real - way better than tearing down and building new.

7/5/18 continued - Added insulation to the last wall section (the one with the window). 7/6/18 - Added wood beams to window and fuse box wall sections. Just needs plastic and it is ready to panel! Well, that and the ceiling to be done, j-channel installed, and maybe a couple other details. You...

My mom and aunt were in town for a couple days, and then my brother-in-law arrived which meant little progress for a few day until the holiday - but it wasn't zero progress! 7/1/18 - By night of July 1 I had managed to finish up the fuse box and put some framing around it. It will still need...

6/22 - 6/24/18 - I forgot to take pictures, but over the course of these nights I put up insulation on a wall panel, added the wood cross beams and added some wood framing around the interior side of the man door so that the metal panels would lay flat. I also sealed the openings in that door...

Hi all! Back in Denver so I have some time to update this 'journal'. 6/16 - 6/17/18 - Did some moving and cleaning. Also started putting up the last row of plastic before I hang another row of ceiling panels. 6/18/18 - Didn't have much time in the shop this night or the next. Put up two...

Metal can easily span 4', PBR panel is rated to span 6', but I'm using it on 10' spans with no problems. That's with 9.5" of batt on top of it too.

I just read this in one sitting - great story and now I'm looking forward to seeing the floor come together. Nice work, Platonic!

6/7/18 - Put up plastic and j channel on the other door wall and got the plastic ready on the ceiling for another run of ceiling panels. 6/8/18 - Put up three ceiling panels. 6/9/18 - Put up the last panel of the run I started last night. That is seven rows out of ten competed. Also, wired...

6/4/18 - Installed a 50 Amp RV outlet on the outside of the shop and ran the 6 gauge wire through a grommet back to near the fuse box. I have three polaris connectors that I'll use to junction that wire so I can have an indoor outlet as well that I will run to the center of the long wall for a...

Thanks! And yes, the carport space is great for things that I can store outside. Once I get the shop done, I'll be pulling the good parts off the Monte Carlo and moving the carcass out to the carport. It already is nice since it keep the worst of the weather and the summer sun off my tractor...

5/27/18 - Did some cleaning and moved the Mustang over to the finished side of the shop. 5/28/18 - More moving and cleaning. Got my tools, and work table/scaffold moved. 5/29/18 - 6/3/18 - No interesting pictures to see, but I spent these nights working on rerouting some of the old wire...

5/19/18 - Back home and back to work. Put up two more batts of insulation finishing off a roll. Down to 5 rolls of the 9" left. 5/20/18, 5/21/18 - Sunday didn't get to do a lot due to double duty on yard work. We have a rental waiting for tenants, so two yards to mow at the moment. But I did...

Nice! You could almost stack three cars up with that kind of height!
