Ray Martin Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 48 sheets of drywall delivered today. 22 sheets of 1/2" being delivered Monday. Was supposed to be today but someone messed up. Putting up dividing wall between shop and craft room tomorrow. Ceiling goes up Monday. Insulation in as soon as ceiling is done. Things are looking up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Even a large shop tends to get smaller! Still big enough to be a dance hall! 😁 Looking good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Martin Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 @Coopyes it did get a bit smaller. You're right though, still plenty big. Have truly been blessed through this entire build. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Martin Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Drywall for the ceiling is up. There were 4 of us and started at 5. Fed everyone dinner and we were done at 9:30. What a relief to have that done. Next will be insulation. Getting closer by the day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Martin Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 @Kevpretty chilly in the morning still. After the 6th should be great. Will have heat and insulation in. Should be nice and cozy for mud and taping when you get back. Lol. Unless you requested that extension. Will have some of the mud done by the time you return. Hurry home bud, that's when the real work starts. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Martin Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Got the pad completed for the condenser unit for the mini splits. Thought I would get it done before the snow came. Obviously I didn't make it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're are looking at our first snow of the season Saturday here in central MN So the Mr Cools are heat pumps too, correct? One of my fell Windsor chair group guys was asking me about shop heat and I told him that's what I see most folks going with but I have no personal experience with them.

Ray Martin Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 @pkinnebI did a bit of research before we decided. Mr Cool didn't have good reviews. Mitsubishi and Daikin had the best. Went with the Daikin as they were 4K cheaper. Also Kevin has had his Daikin for at least 5 years with no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Martin Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 @pkinnebyes that is correct. Ac and heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Martin Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Well as you know from previous posts, insulation was supposed to happen this past Wednesday. That did not happen as the crew called in on that day and yesterday as well. Remember in my earlier posts I mentioned it was hunting season? Anyway, they showed up this morning. They will be installing the baffles in the attic and finishing the walls today. Will contact the scheduler later to find out when they will do the blow in for the attic. Surely appreciate their effort to get the walls completed today so my HVAC people can get heat into the shop on Monday. Progress continues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
