Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

The LED bulbs are the ticket, just don't get the cheap ones. I prefer the look of 4000k light outside and 3000k inside. Your flood light are probably 5,000k. Definitely go 4-5000k inside the shop.

Monday - May 30, 2016

The days are starting to get too warm to comfortably work in the direct sun if one doesn't have to. I decided to use the Lone Beech Garage to get some work done more comfortably than I otherwise would have been able to accomplish today.

Today's Prime Directive was to get some work done on the Sink Cabinet. I moved it, and various tools, into the Drive Through Bay near the Tornado Shelter. The reasons for placing everything there were:

1. One of the 50 amp RV outlets is located there.
2. When I start working on removing paint from the Sink Cabinet I can move outside and I'd be in the shade.

I decided to set the Sink Cabinet on top of the Tornado Shelter Grates and I would use my plasma cutter to clean up the existing openings for the plumbing in the cabinet. It was about at this time I called an audible and decided to do the final cleanup on the grates to get them to fit better in the Tornado Shelter Lip.





I counted the bars and marked the middle of the grate with some masking tape. Then I used the plasma cutter and made quick work of cutting the grate into two equal pieces. The Miller adapter [NEMA 14-50 to NEMA 6-50] I recently purchased worked perfectly to adapt the plasma cutter plug to the RV receptacle in the wall.






The next order of business was to clean up the stubs left over when I cut the grate into two pieces. I used a pneumatic cut-off tool to trim the stubs off. Any remaining protrusion was then ground down with an angle grinder.






The grates now fit perfectly in the "lip". Cutting the one grate section into two smaller parts also has the benefit of these smaller parts being about 70 pounds vice about 150 pounds. They will be more manageable to get out of the way and will make access to the Shelter a much easier proposition.


Continued in next post...

Finally it was time to get cracking on the Sink Cabinet.





I positioned the Sink Cabinet on top the grates of the Tornado Shelter. I used a piece of 1/4-inch plate as a guide for the plasma cutter.






I cut the most ragged shard out first. I'm still learning how to use the plasma cutter so the trimming could have been prettier. Then I did some minor trimming - using some angle iron as a guide - of the rest of the opening.






The Sink Cabinet was then moved just outside the garage door and I began to remove paint using a non-woven stripping disk and/or a knotted wire wheel in an angle grinder. I jumped around with the paint removal to avoid getting the sheet metal too hot.






I initially was using the non-woven stripping disk exclusively but these aren't cheap and they tend to abrade quickly when eating though all the layers of paint on this cabinet. I started using the wire wheel to remove the paint and followed up with the non-woven stripping disk. This picture shows the difference between the two tools. The wire wheel is the darker areas and the shiny metal is where I have used the non-woven stripping disk.






At the end of the day I had accomplished quite a bit. Still a lot of work to do but I made good progress today. It was also satisfying to use the Lone Beech Garage - if only in a small way - to get some work done.

Hi Scott,

I am in Myrtle Beach this week at my condo and saw the plane in your Avatar mounted at the entrance to the Market Commons which is the site of the old Myrtle Beach Air Force base. I knew I had seen that plane before, just couldn't remember where. Now I remember!

gilr,

I'm trying to figure out why they would put a YC-14, an airplane that never went into production, on a stick in Myrtle Beach.

Hmmm....

Thanks for the info!

Best regards,

Scott

Sooo, I got curious as I haven't been to Myrtle in a while, and I like airplanes... Possibly you are thinking about this A-10 gilr ?

Little different if so, but the engine placement is certainly unusual on both !

[Casey333]

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

That looks like an A-10 Warthog to me.

Oh and the garage is looking great as well Scott

What is your plan for landscaping the disturbed dirt around the garage and driveways?

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

It looks like your storm shelter grates are bare metal. I would get them coated some how before they start rusting.
I just painted my grates and now they are all rusty, I need to have them sand blasted or replace them. Wish I would have had them powder coated.

OK guys, you are correct, I was passing by on Sunday and saw what I thought was the very rare plane in Scott's avatar, and after looking again, it is a Warthog, an ugly but very effective attack plane. Sorry for the mistake. After Scott said the one in his avatar was never produced, I was suspect. In any case they are unusual looking and I was tricked into thinking it was the same by the similar engine placement. A number of years ago, I was standing on a driving range near the beach (In Myrtle Beach) when I heard a strange noise and directly in front of me overhead was the new Stealth Bomber, not 300 feet up going in to land at the base there which was still operational at the time. I waved at the pilot and was in awe of such a strange looking plane. It was low in noise and I think anyone in its sights would have had no clue it was coming until it was too late. Anyway, way off topic and back to Scott's work in his great garage.

HemiRamOn22s,

My LED's are all on the exterior in the floods & lanterns. The lanterns have LED's that are 2700K color temperature so they have a yellowish look that suits the application.

Inside are fluorescents with a 4100K color temperature.

I am pleased with my lighting so far. At some point in the future, when LED tubes come down in price, I believe I will be able to make the transition without a huge amount of fuss.

Best regards,

Scott

Jo Diesel,

They are bare metal.

I bought them as "drops" from a fabrication shop over 5 years ago. They were stored in my basement for over 3 years and then I moved them up to my house garage and stored them there until they were placed in the Lone Beech Garage.

Do you mind telling me about how yours are used?

Vehicles sitting over them all the time or...? Is the air in the space they are located heated or air conditioned?

Best regards,

Scott

Tuesday - May 31, 2016

The work on the Mezzanine Sink Cabinet continued today.




I used a few odd pieces of 2x4 to brace the base of the Sink Cabinet so that it would be stiff enough to work on.






The size and odd angles still made getting the base cleaned up a challenge.






I applied a coat of primer...






...and a coat of gloss black to the visible sides of the base. I'll get a coat of primer and paint on the inside of the base when the outside has dried sufficiently.

At quarter after 6 this evening, as I was working on the Sink Cabinet, my phone rang. It was a technician from the Heating & Air company. He said he was coming over to start up my mini-splits.

Great!





He closed the circuit breakers and started firing up the 5 remote controls; one for each of the interior units. He set the units for 61 degrees.






The interior units came to life and started pumping out cold air into the Lone Beech Garage. It was nice...






... for about 3 minutes. What the bleep does an E3 code mean? It means the installers have to return.

The technician opened the mini-split circuit breakers and left.

I have a brand new LG in the garage. Says E3 is temp sensor error between the inside coil and the main unit board.

I can't see what brand your units are. So, WAG.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

I live in Mid Michigan where they paint the roads white with salt in the winter so any thing that comes in drips salt as it dries. It is below freezing most of the winter and we do see temps below 10`and above 95`and humid in summer. The shop is fully insulated and kept above freezing with a wood stove and have a window AC unit for those hot humid days. When it is 85 and humid I can keep it at 75. The grates are in a normal parking spot so there is a vehicle over them 75% of the time. My pit is 6' wide at bottom so grates lean against wall when not needed and are not in the way

Jo Diesel,

I'm hoping the environment my grates are in will allow them to be "bare". It sounds like your humidity is probably under control but the road salt is trumping that.

Georgia generally doesn't use salt on the roads but it does get used around Atlanta occasionally.

I have Trane units. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing but a Google search seems to indicate that E3 means "Compressor Low Pressure Protection".

While my own comfort is important, I'm hoping these units - when working - will manage the humidity and help keep my tools from rusting.

Wednesday - June 1, 2016

The first of June - hard to believe. Today a cloudless sky foretold the temperatures that were to come. It got to 92 F which isn't awful but it is warm. Some late afternoon thunderstorms brought some much needed rain and also the temperatures down.

This morning I got started before the temperature got too bad. The paint I applied to the Toe Kick yesterday had dried enough to work on the inside without fear of doing harm to my previous work.





Primer applied...





...followed by the black Rustoleum about 25 minutes later.


Continued in next post...

 

[sbosecker]

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

Continued...

While the Toe Kick's paint dried I moved to the next issue.





This rusted out area on the side of the Sink Cabinet.






I used some Dykem Red to scribe some lines and then used the pneumatic cutoff tool and the plasma cutter to section out the rusted area.





I think I had the plasma cutter power set a bit high when I made that cut. I used the angle grinder to clean that up.






I had some scrap sheet metal to use for a patch. I used a DA Sander to get the paint off it.






I laid out lines and then used a Pneumatic Shear to cut the patch out of the panel.






A bit of additional work with a hand file and I've got my patch. Not the best fit but I hope it will be adequate for a repair. This part of the cabinet will be against the wall so, once again, I'm trying to learn something by doing something.

It was about 9:00 pm when I got to this point so I left the Lone Beech Garage for the evening.

Nice first try, but aren't you missing a piece? Shouldn't there be about a one inch flange on the bottom. You can always weld it on, but I would have done it as one part. Sorry to nit pick. Just an observation.

camarosrus69,

Do not apologize! I solicit feedback as I've never attempted such a thing before.

I didn't have a way to make a clean, sharp 90 so I didn't fiddle with that. I assumed this would work OK for this application.

Scott, there is a minor epidemic in the Garage Journal. Not sure who Patient Zero is but it's a vise brake disease. For a fab shop, brakes are huge investments but for tinkerers these little vise add-ons allow you to make a decent bend in sheet metal, albeit little sections at a time.

I bought a 4-inch one to fit my vise but they are available in larger sizes.

I used it on some 1/8" aluminum and it worked great.

Thursday - June 2, 2016

While getting the Sink Cabinet ready for installation in the Mezzanine is the Prime Directive, there are many moving parts to the Lone Beech Garage ...and life in general.

Today some time was spent:

1. Digging through my archives to provide information to a bank for long term financing of the Lone Beech Garage.

2. Celebrating a milestone with my spouse this evening by opening a bottle of bubbly.

3. Utilizing my son as a Sherpa and moving some items from my house basement and garage to their new home.





Plumbing fixtures were moved from the house garage, where they had been taking up real estate that our vehicles should be using, to be in position for installation in the near future. Bathroom Toilet, sink were positioned as well as the shop sink.






About the only Sink Cabinet work today was the removal of the Dykem Red with denatured alcohol. This little bit of clean up was to prepare for the welding of the repair panel into the sink cabinet.

Of course that would require a welder... which has, until today, been living in the basement garage.

The dirt moving exercise earlier in this thread has left a scar on the south side of my house that can become a quagmire if we have any precipitation. However, the weather has been very dry of late and the exposed red Georgia clay is quite firm on that end of the house. This is fortuitous as it would allow me to drive my pickup across the front yard and access the basement garage where many of my stationary tools - and welders - had lived.

With thundershowers threatening this afternoon - which potentially would make any trip across the exposed clay problematic - I elected to move more than just the welder to the new building. Three trips were made with my son acting as loadmaster in the rear of the pickup as we moved tools from the basement garage to the Lone Beech Garage.






First trip's cargo was the Lincoln 140HD Mig Welder. This got that tool into position to work on the Sink Cabinet.






The 20-Ton Harbor Freight Shop Press represented the second wave of the assault.






The third trip we brought a couple of hose reels, a stick welder and a Harbor Freight Horizontal Band Saw.






The Baldor Pedestal Grinder had been in the house garage for quite a while. We placed a piece of scrap OSB onto a homemade dolly and walked the Grinder from the house to its new home. As this last move was completed the rain, promised by the thunder that had been getting closer to us each trip to the building, arrived.






It didn't last too long and it wasn't a downpour. Within an hour I was moving a Snap-On tool cabinet from the house garage to the Lone Beech Garage.

That's all that was accomplished today. I hope to do some serious work on the Sink Cabinet tomorrow.

Re: The Lone Beech Garage Build Thread (60x46)

What you really need is a big workbench and shelving on the walls so that you don't succumb to the floors becoming the storage place. Ask me how I know! Anyway, I know you will enjoy this space for many years. I only wish I had he space and an understanding HOA to be able to build such a structure to actually have the space to work on multiple projects (along with an understanding wife!!!). Mine looks at a garage as more storage for "her" things. I recently re-married after losing my first wife who passed away from cancer, and my new wife whom I love, sees the garage as a place to store her things, and I finally had to put my workshop off limits. The rest of the house is basically hers, but I had to stake my claim on the workshop. When you combine two homes into one, every square inch becomes important! Her first husband who died from cancer also, had a shop in her basement, so I had a reference to point to.
You obviously have a very understanding wife, be thankful!

You have a garage most on this forum would give anything to have, and I hope you enjoy! I'm sure you will make it into a great place to work and spend time in. I've enjoyed watching this one come to life as I'm just as sure you have probably enjoyed the process.

Gil,

Roger that on a bench and such!

Regarding my wife...

A mutual friend wanted to introduce me to my future spouse 42 years ago. "She's really nice!" was the answer I got when I asked for more information.

"Great", I thought, "a nice girl."

By chance the 3 of us (match maker, future spouse & I) crossed paths at the local Dairy Queen a few days later.

"Holy bleep!", I thought, "she's REALLY nice!"

At that first meeting, I didn't know that in addition to being VERY nice she was also ...very nice.

I have been blessed to have her, the Lone Beech Garage and so much more. I don't know why it worked out like this for a doofus like me.

Good luck to you and your merging of two established lives. I'm sure you'll sort it out but that will be challenging.

Scott

Friday - June 3, 2016

This morning I stepped outside my house and saw a couple of guys in the vicinity of the Loading Dock. It turned out they would be installing the railing systems and were taking some measurements.

I don't think I posted that a couple of days ago the Builder informed me that the senior Inspector had indicated that the Loading Dock did not need railing in front of it.






Today I attempted to weld a patch into the Sink Cabinet. I learned a lot and I have a lot more to learn on this subject. I also used Bondo for the first time. I've still got a lot to learn about that topic as well.

Ha!

All of this mess will be hidden as that side of the cabinet will be against a wall.






I hit the Toe Kick with the final coat of paint and it is drying inside the Lone Beech Garage tonight.

I continued to prep the Sink Cabinet for painting. I am unhappy with how this is going to turn out because I'm going to have to cut some corners in order to have this thing ready by the start of next week.

Will it be an adequate amount of prep? Probably - for the purposes of this fixture. Still, I would have preferred a more complete restoration of the cabinet. I'm just running out of time.

We need to get all the finish plumbing installed soon so we get the final inspection completed. Once that's out of the way, I will have a lot more freedom of action in the fitting out of the Lone Beech Garage.

Saturday - June 4, 2016

I was hoping to get an early start on the Sink Cabinet today but the weather was hot and, oddly enough, breezy. I was hoping that at some point the breeze would dissipate and I would be able to spray the Sink Cabinet.

Around 6 this evening the air was still moving a bit but it was manageable.






The Sink Cabinet was brought outside and was wiped down.






Primer was applied.






The directions on the Rustoleum can indicate that a top coat can be applied within two hours after the first coat. After that one is to wait for 48 hours. I elected to put a coat of white everywhere I could get the paint applied without me touching the not-yet-dry primer.

I'll hit the unpainted areas on Monday evening and probably put a little more white on the exterior of the Sink Cabinet as well.






I let the Sink Cabinet sit undisturbed for a couple of hours and then my son and I placed it on dollies and brought it into the Lone Beech Garage for the night.
