The new "Crashfab"

So I got one wall ripped down...

And I built a new one...

Got the next wall removed and cleaned up and ready to start building...

So back when I was cleaning the barn I recall a fan so I went and dug it out. I think it would be nice to be able to clear the shop out of smoke fairly quickly and this jewel should do the trick. I know they make vents where the flaps open when air is pushed against them so I will have to find one of those.

There is a nursery supply place in Snohomish that has them motorized for that when they are off, they are sealed. I got a couple on my generator shed for when the generator turns on they open. Really nice

Yup, if you do it, get the motorized ones, they stay sealed when not in use...the non-motorized tend to flap when the wind is just right! :haha:
That fan should move some serious air tho...looks LOUD!!! :haha:

Thanks for the heads up :awesomework: I will have to do that... Clean air is worth a little noise :awesomework:

That's pretty cool, I didn't know you could get a vent that actually seals up good. I've been thinking about putting some kind of exhaust fan in my shop.

So I got the 2nd wall finished up. I used that building wrap as a barrier against the sheet metal.

So next I tore down the 3rd wall and the bottom of the 4th wall.

So the door that bob had hanging on the old wall was a wood exterior door and it was pretty hashed. Amongst the stuff I found a brand new metal exterior door that I want to use. The only problem is the bottom has to be cut off due to #1 I will constantly be tripping over it and #2 I won't be able to roll anything heavy over it.

And here is the 3rd wall finished up. Cutting the bottom of the door ended up being easier than I thought but made the door installation a little harder. But it took some time and got it all adjusted and mounted and actually works really good.

Got the 4th wall finished up also.

Go Mike go! :cheer:

I'm a tryin :redneck:

Park a truck on it!!! :hello:

So I busted butt today. I was able to get the ceiling/storage loft done. I ended up going with 2x8's on 12" centers. Once it was all tied together it made the whole mess pretty rock solid. I should be able to store some decent weight up there now. I dunno if it was right/wrong but I also ran 2x8's between the the main 2x8's down the center. It took all of the wobble out of the 2x8's and I did them from the top and wasn't too bad being as how I am scared of heights,lol.

Now to get the switch/outlet buckets figured out. The one thing I still gotta figure out is I want to do a bench along the back wall but I want it mid height (bar stool height) and I want outlets just above the bench.

mount it up high, suck the hot air out on hot days.

So I am slowly getting things figured out. My original plan was to have the company come out and give me a bid to finish the building/install doors. The more I thought about it and the more I am learning I came up with the idea its probably something I can handle. Now since I need doors charlie hooked me on these roll up doors.

I plan on doing a lift and these will be perfect for this and when up they won't cover the lights. I am looking at the model 2000 door but I will just keep it manually operated.

The only thing I still have to figure out is where to get the tin to match the building.
