I am so ready...

[Chris C]

... to make something. Insulation going in tomorrow and then I'm back to work. I can't wait to get my benches in the shop....I did a little sharpening last night in anticipation.

Nice space! I know the feeling! Enjoy!

Your chairs, cart, and broom bristle color match my skin tint pretty well right about now. Congrats!

Looks nice !

I see the most important tool in the shop is already installed, the fridge.

Chris, nice space but you need more power outlets

Enjoy!

What type of insulation are you getting.

 

[Jeff]

A nice space for woodworking. Is that a garage type door in the upper left corner of your pic? Are you going to install heating/cooling?

 

[Graywolf]

It looks like you're ready, even if you don’t get to go. I hope you enjoy the new work space. And please share your adventure of setting it up!

 

[Raymond]

How are you going to insulate that roll-up door, Chris?

 

[Chris C]

My father in law was an electrician. Told me once you can never have too many outlets.... I listened.

I put in R13 in the walls and R19 in the ceiling ....at the suggestion of the installer. Rolled fiberglass...Knauf brand if that means anything. He suggested I do a drop ceiling to avoid any condensation issues so that what we did. He also sealed all the doors, windows and the outlets. I thought $1500 was a fair price for the job he did.

I am going to insulate the door... They make a kit for that purpose. I was going to install an insulated door but that got lost in the mix and I didn't feel like trying to fix it at the time. I hope I don't regret that decision.

 

[Chris C]

Will definitely be conditioned. I was planning on a mini split but had been considering a one ton heat pump. Since insulation is in I'll probably just do the split.

Can't really tell from the picture but I do not see any outlets in the ceiling. I put one 220v for the table saw and two 110v for other stuff. The 110v are not on the same circuit as the lights. In hind sight I should have added at least one more of each.

 

[Chris C]

There are none in the ceiling. I thought about putting them in but just don't see the need. I had Joe make me a couple of 20' extension cords for the 220 tools instead. I can always add them in the future.

I'm jealous
Nice space!

 

[JenLightly]

It looks nice and spacious, how long before you fill it up with new toys? I find I always have a way of filling the space over time : )

 

[Chris C]

Luckily i have plenty of tools already. I'll started trying to arrange the power tools last night. I plan on moving my workbenches and hand tools in this weekend.

[Chris C]

Question is.... How to display all these planes, eggbeaters and my saws?

 

[Graywolf]

Oh, I’m sure you can think of something.

Looks like a good problem to have and nice collection of egg beater drills.
