Geeze! You have almost as much in Top-0-The Line plywood as you do concrete, eh?)

The pllywood was a craigslist score of the year for me is all. Was not planned before a month ago.

Well I decided to bookcase the building and I ordered fiberglass kraft faced batts on Friday for the walls. Picked up the 2X6s today - here are the first 189 - full bunk. Menards 11% off week got me off my butt. Bookcasing 24" on center will make attaching the off cut ply sheets I got easier.

I love it !!

Thanks for sharing such a fine build log.

I made the mistake of building my home, 10 years ago, in a development with deed restrictions that limited my shop to 900 sq ft.

Won't make that mistake again.

I managed to fill it up with equipment, and would like to add another 300 sq ft.

There are only 65 members in our HOA and I think I can get approval for a variance, so I just need to pull the trigger on the build plan.

Thank you for that comment!

Another investment made last night -
Ordered 3 Maxline 7500 kits 3/4" RapidAir Master Kits and a few elbows and T's.
High hopes for having the air drops in the shop day 1. I know copper and black
pipe are options but this seemed easier to install and I have already bit off
quite a bit of work already for myself.
Anyone here using the maxline rapidair? Its basiclly pex-al-pex and the fittings in a package.

I have 139 of 177 2X6s now book cased into the walls on the wall girts 2' on center between the posts. This will hold insulation and give framing to attach my walls too. Each is cut, drilled with a 2" forstner bit and kreg pocket hole screwed to the wall girt.

BAM - all 2X6s are installed as of 2pm today. Now to run some wiring!

My insulation order showed up at Menards today so ran up and picked it up. It is 216 23"X93"X6 1/4" batts of Kraft faced R19.

A bit of warmth this week so I started on the ceiling electric circuits.

Every 8' will get a Metal Halide. Also every 8' (4' from the light) will get a 20 amp outlet for drop down power and eventually retractable power cords.

Great to see your still making progress on this great shop space.
