The pine garage/ shop

[Orionrising]

been getting some occasional water intrusion on the inside of theis wall I have not been able to localize. Assum it is bouncing off the patio into some of these cracks

So I filled them with cement crack filler.


we will see if that helps... well if it ever rains again.

 

[Orionrising]

picked up an air cleaner for the woodshop a month or so back. Drywall lift made install a breeze

 

[Orionrising]

finally repair the drywall and bulkhead door that got torn out while repairing the wall behind the porch last year. Have I mentioned I hate drywall?




Installed a few outlets and a spigot for the pool while the wall was open.

 

[Orionrising]

replaced the old leaky wooden single pane windows in the woodshop today with modern double panes.

the aluminum tracks for the old ones were held in by a single small staple....

 

[Orionrising]

truck is in the garage for the first time ever. unfortunatley its because wife had to overnight at work rather then because i have the 2nd bay clear

 

[dlcwent]

Orion, how did this storm treat you? We got very lucky compared to others around the state.

 

[Orionrising]

about 2 feet here, blew it last night with 14 inches on the ground and again this mornign with another 8. Gonna be a doozy of a winter me thinks

 

[Orionrising]

been busy at work and with the holidays...

gotten a few projects doen though

got my grandfathers craftsman 100 tablesaw working again

required some naval jelly, paste wax, and rewiring . Its been sitting for at least 20 years.



added a saftey knee switch too...

though it spins down so slowly it may not help much.

 

[Orionrising]

considering finishing my attic now, dbeating lifting methods to 2nd story in this thread.

 

[Orionrising]

with some inspiration from this thread, and youtube I am working on a hoist to the gambrel 2nd story of my garage..

http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=233122

before....


in progress.. Waiting on the unistrut wheels to come in... and the rain to stop. (and I ran out of ledgerlocks)

Need adjust the shimming a bit to the unistrut is properly flush, build the lift platform and rail, and make the to rail removable.

And eventually put in a door and pad to roll things out of the back of the garage. (and replace the freakin deck blocks that are currently footings for the landing)

 

[FTWingRiders]

Love the old craftsman.. even better knowing it was your Grandfathers.. I'd be interested to see how your hoist works out. Please keep the pics coming.

 

[Orionrising]

welll got my insulation and drywall delivery today... worst day of the year for it. 90 degrees and humid. Lift works pretty well ( wheels like to catch at unistrut joint on the way down.

 

[Strouty]

At least it is roxul, I had to help unload some old fiberglass insulation from a demo job, I am itchy and bitchy.

 

[Orionrising]

yep this stuff works great for the sides of the gambrel. Going to use blown for the ceiling.

Still only got it hauled up and about 1/6 of the wall done... with the brown metal roof it was north of 110 in there.

Got a high CFM fan coming tomorrow which should help.

that is pretty cool

 

[Orionrising]

works pretty well, 300 lbs of insulation on it in that shot. Needs a better platform etc before I put anything other then building materials on it... dont want to drop a tablesaw or something

 

[Orionrising]

still working on insulation. the lower 8 feet goes real fast... top 2 feet woven between the trusses to keep the blown in from going over the side... *****...



may end up adding a bit of a kneewall this winter, because of the truss shape bottom foot ends up with only one layer at only r15 vs r 45 for the upper 2/3s or so.

Will finish the last couple bays tomorrow, and then on to adding some bracing and walkboards and lights above the top part before I drywall the ceiling


Picked up a subpanel this evening, but may take it back, not sure its worth the 200 bucks vs just dropping to the lower garage panel.

 

[Orionrising]

Been slow but have most of the drywall up. Need to finish the middle and finish framing a 2 nd layer of studs on the end wall to get r 30

Nope the lift I built works good. Still **** to carry it around the outside of the garage. Back door is on the list if things to do.

Looking good Orionrising. Looks like things are coming together for you one piece at a time. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a night. Nice progress.

 

[Orionrising]

another load up the lift.


got about 2.5 sheets left to go on the ceiling after tonight... then spraycan foam the gaps on the edge of the 2x4 braces from the top....

then blow in top insulation. Then finish end wall. maybe not in that order.

 

[Orionrising]

Ceiling drywalls all up.. on to the end walls

[Orionrising]

end wall ready for drywall, subpanel wire roughed in + spare wire to attic, and line for light to other end.

 

[Strouty]

Progress! Looks great, I bet you can't wait to end done with the drywall.

 

[Orionrising]

Yep angled wall are annoying.

almost!

[Strouty]

Yes, today was really humid, going to be worse the next couple days. Do you have an air conditioner to put in one of the windows?

 

[Orionrising]

maybe, dont really want to till I am done with insulation and drywall dust. may through a dehumidifier in there but that will heat it up...

Really need to wrap things up and get blown in in the top done.

 

[Orionrising]

Last wall insulated.. drywall left...

That *****, man. I can still see a few, but I'm sure they will be along shortly to take away the rest...the bastards.

Got the blown in in the top done Tuesday. Started Saturday night meant to finish Sunday night... Since during the day it was 130 up top... The my well pump burned out... So that took Monday to rebuild my water system....

Still need to do 2/3 of the floor before heating season.

Spend the day cleaning and painting. One more cost at least. Intentional minimally finished the drywall as.. why water the time when I wouldn't be happy with the results ever anyway.

2/3 of the way through 2nd coat and ran out of paint... and then found out inlaws are coming over

 

[Strouty]

Been one of those days huh? It is looking really good, I see you put an A/C in. I may have a bigger one if you need it. I sent you a PM too. Have a good evening with the in-laws.

 

[madoc1]
