Next it was time to finish the room. Insulation, vapor barrier, then plywood.

Once plywood was up, 3 coats of kilz was applied, followed by 3 coats of paint.

More updates:

It was time to add more cement with an 8 foot addition to the front apron and a sidewalk on North side of building to connect entry door with apron:

Then onto the West and final wall for insulation and OSB install.

It was time to stop procrastinating the electrical termination in the panel!

 

[stngfever]

Repeat of other walls (insulation, vapor barrier, OSB, and paint)

 

[stngfever]

Also on West wall was terminations for Ethernet (Cat5 from house), Coax (from house and to 2 tv wall locations) and 2 HDMI cables.

 

[stngfever]

Once west wall was done, time for lower steel test install.



Now onto ceiling, Stapled R-11 paperback to trusses, then a Cris-cross on top of that using a layer of R-19 and R-11 (3 layers in total).

Now it was time to start the ceiling:







Decided for a break on the ceiling to install some lower wall steel:





One of my criagslist finds included some electrical items and amongst them was this "Pull Alarm" and some strobe/fire alarms. I decided to hook this up to a transformer more for a "novelty". However, the extinguisher is real.

Next up is the installation of 2-5' unistruts (a pair of 8' 2x4's laid on top of truss bottom cords was used to attach the 1/2' threaded rods). These are in place for my Fall activities of deer hunting. One unistrut is for an electric hoist and the other will have some eye bolts installed to hang deer from.

 

[stngfever]

Ceiling steel is now complete:

Awesome! Many are the envious men right now drooling over your pics. Enjoy the culmination of the many hours of dreaming, planning, working, and now playing inside your new shop.

Nice looking place from another Stang guy!

 

[justin1795]

are you just stuffing a little insulation behind your 2x4s? plan on finishing mine similar. was thinking of doing 2x6's but its quite a bit more

 

[stngfever]

@diypolebarns - thanks, it certainly is a labor of love

@cheezhead - thanks and it's always great to see other's with the same disease, lol

@justin1795 - I didn't try to stuff any small pieces of insallation behing the 2x4's, I merely used 5 1/2" thick insulation since my posts we're 6x6's

 

[stngfever]

Lights, fans, lower wall steel panels, and lift installs complete. A few more outlets to install and trim work is all that's left to do.
