Thread: Shed remodel, more room

Fry that spam up man! I don't see why the latex wouldn't work but idk?

You mean this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE
A genuine classic!!

Yep, that's the one, lol

Well, we got it all insulated now, walls and ceiling. I blew in the rafters with loose insulation, that's always a fun job. It's weird but I swear the shed heats easier now with the wall removed. I know it doesn't make sense but the only explanation is that I replaced a insulated 2x4 wall with a 2x6 wall.

that beam looks good.....nice work!

Amazing what nice insulation will do! Makes me itch looking at you in the photo!

Maybe with the wall removed the airflow is actually more capable of covering the whole shop? I added a deflector to knock the heat down to where I needed it. It actually makes the time even longer to get the building warm! I can only conclude that I destroyed the airflow pattern and it's just in-efficient.

That is odd but good. Looking good! I wonder if the heat just leached in to the cold storage area and was lost causing the heater to run more before? I've thought that happens in my shop since the roof isn't insulated at all.

We got the top closed up again yesterday and all the trim work on so hopefully be painting later this week. I had to do the ceiling a little different above the over head door because of the clearance. I got 3 1/2 inches of hard board insulation up there instead of the blow in. My youngest boy 15 measured and cut the trim for the windows, he did a fantastic job. I thought the shed would be a good place to practice but I think I'd trust him for the house. Remember the I beam is straight, my phone isn't.

The window trim looks fine!

I just completed a remodel job for a friend, just two rooms. I now understand why some people won't do remodeling. It's easier to build it than to rework it.

You've got me headed towards insulating my barn so I can get some heat (AC?) in there and be able to use it better year round, Seth! Great job!

Hey, that trim work looks pretty darn good. I've seen some so-called pros that can't fit that tight and wind up with gobs of filler. Good on him!

Heat and air conditioning is authorized for everyone past 60! Heck, probably mandatory!!!!!!!

That's funny you said that, Christian asked that question and I said the same thing as you. Much easier to build new, but I'm a better mechanic than carpenter so It may not make that big of a difference in the end.

It hasn't been much above 0 here for over a week so heat is a really good thing. Supposed to warm up a bit now though .A/C is great for those dog days of summer in late July. I had a window unit stuck in the wall for the last few years but it barely kept up so I'll be looking for a bigger one this summer. I got a few HVAC buddies, I'll see if they can find me something.
