POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

[Provincial]

^^^^^ What he said.

Yes. 3/4”. But it is only for that first row since it will take most of the beating and exposed to some water when I clean the floor… panels for the top might be regular plywood or OSB

Steel?

I am working! Trying to get those walls done, lol.

Now you guys got me worried... am I doing something wrong?? My plan was to place the 2-gang boxes inside. Above that panel I installed. So all outlets are at 4' high. Running PVC gray conduit to the ceiling. All behind the top panel...

You live in a different temperature zone than me, your needs maybe different. We use a interior paper barrier over the insulation and of course a exterior barrier as well. May not apply to you.

If you have a welding, grinder area cement board or steel panels can be a good thing.

If all ready covered my apologies.

I was told I did not needed additional barriers.

For the welding/grinding areas, yes, It was suggested. I do plan to do that in the areas where the grinding and welding will be done. I can get aluminum diamond plate panels for around 100.00 each. Or stainless steel brushed panels for a bit more. I will install the floor tiles first before installing them.

One think I've found is you cant have too many power points spread around.

I got 20 2-gang boxes. Between single 220volts outlets and 4 110volts outlets. I need to check if that is enough.

For the 110 outlets, I initially thought about a circuit per wall, but it was suggested, on each wall, to have them on different circuits. Pretty good idea.

Steel?

??? Can you elaborate?

With such a nice looking floor, I'd have a hard time not throwing a little spackle and paint on those walls!

Eldest daughter said she wants to paint the walls, we’ll see what comes of that

Lots of guys use white pole barn steel for interior shop walls.

Ahhh... got it . I think that I will just go with the flat (brushed finish) stainless steel sheet. Should be more resistant to abuse than the diamond plate aluminum sheets.

Why?

 

[wachuko]

Why?

I have seen that... just to protect the bottom part of the walls....

Hemmm…. Interesting.
