One thing I was super glad I did in my garage, was having 110/220 outlets every 6' on the walls. Gives me plenty of options moving things around and doesnt pigeon hole me into 1 setup that I may only like for a few months or year. Maybe in a bigger shop this isnt as big of a deal since you will have plenty of space ??
Not sure on tools .. but for the dust collection, is it built out big enough to support an upgrade in the future? Not sure if hes going big already and sized for that?
Looks good to start though!
how much space do you have to build a new closet? you could do 2x6's and then zig zag your 2x4's so the inner studs and drywall dont touch the outer studs and drywall and there would be room to add that acoustic mineral wool in the walls as well. ... maybe?
Also, Johnny Brooks just finished up his closet ... might be able to take some ideas?
Yes, super happy with the outside dB levels! Inside, I was just happy with anything I got, wasnt expecting much. Are you trying to muffle the motor noise?
thanks Coop! yes, horizontal looks much cleaner than the vertical test fit.
Overall sooooo dang happy with this upgrade. The outside hvac unit is louder than this now which is just crazy …
Total Numbers: (decibels)
Inside Garage (about 20') - In/Out - 78 to 74
Outside at exhaust - Old/New - 112 to 85
Outside - 10' away - Old/New - 81 to 61
Outside - 30' away - Old/New - 73 to 58
Decided to go horizontal with it to basically keep the kids from hitting it with balls or running into it … I’ll check back next summer for a cleaning and see how much dust settled in there because of this orientation…
same spot in garage ..
again .. outlet, 10’ and 30’
now you jinxed it ... they are calling tomorrow and you fly out next week lol
Hoping there is a nice good break for you though! before you head out again!
golf course? no no, shop ... just think of the 7 projects you could complete during one round of golf
Enjoy it, I bet the views on those golf courses up there are amazing
