The new "Crashfab"

[crash2]

So I got all 4 walls done. I guess I did screw up though and the seams are supposed to be horizontal and not vertical. Ya I am a noob still learning :mad:.

But I am just going to roll with it.

 

[crash2]

I didn't have to buy any hand tools. When I organized the shop I found all my father in laws tools (at least I thought they were and damn if I wasn't right :redneck:). All I had to get was mud and sanding stuff. The only thing I hate is the fact I wish I had watched my dad when he did this stuff. He did all of his own stuff and I was a dumb kid that didn't pay attention--it really sunk in he was gone doing this stuff..

 

[crash2]

So I hit it today and was able to get it all taped and all the screw's covered. For not doing this before the hard part was doing the corners.

You will have enough stuff hangin' on the wwalls that if you have a wave, it'll not be noticeable...
Looks good IMHO!

I got to work with my wood tools tonight as well! I forgot what a waffle head looks like in wood! :redneck: Lord knows I made enough of 'em! :mad:
Buddy came over and we knocked out the frame work for my 12'x24' loft addition, which will also get a 4'x12' catwalk to the original 10'x12' loft we built 7 yrs ago...Gonna be nice have all that extra storage. :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

I certainly put a few waffle head marks in the wood when I did the barn,lol.

 

[crash2]

So I got the sheet rock all done up and I learned a ton doing so..

 

[crash2]

I now have water and internet out to the shop. The hardest part was having to go under the damn porch..

 

[crash2]

So I got the room all primed and I was actually impressed with how it looked. I can certainly see little imperfections here and there but considering it was my first time and a pretty large area--I was happy.. Granted I didn't realize it was almost 1am when I walked out last night and being stuck in a room with no air flow(due to keeping bugs out) and 2 halogen lamps--I was soaked. :haha:

Welcome to my world :haha: I go thru at least 2 shirts every day.

I can bet.. But it did turn out decent and most the flaws will be covered by stuff on the wall.. I still gotta figure out what wood I wanna use for around the window and door.

 

[pokey]

As long as your happy with it that's all that matters. Always gratifying to try something new and be happy with the results.:awesomework:

 

[crash2]

I was really shooting for perfection but after a bit I realized that wasn't going to happen--I was asking too much of myself. But I did get a decent outcome that I am ok with.

But now I get get outlets/switch's done and lights installed.

 

[crash2]

And let there be light.... Another step made... :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

I got another full day's work in it today.

I got the back wall insulated and plywood up. I went with 3/4 plywood on the back wall so I can easily mount anything to it.

I also got all the cat6 cable ran to the location of the router.

 

[crash2]

I also made a way to get up to the loft. In the other shop you gotta grab a ladder to get to the lofts and that drives me bonkers,lol.

I went with 12" spacing on the steps since all my other ladders are the same way and it works perfect.

 

[crash2]

One last thing for the loft was a little light so I can see what the heck I am doing. :redneck:

So all thats left for the loft is to figure out what insulation I wanna use and some plywood then its ready. I need to start going thru my other shop/packing and put the loft to use here soon.

 

[crash2]

So I got the second exterior wall all done.

Place is looking great Crash:awesomework:

Thanks guys--coming along slowly..

 

[crash2]

Played with a couple setups but this was the end result--back room now has lighting...

 

[crash2]

Time to get the wood trim done. This was my first time doing this and it ended up pretty decent. When I cleaned the shop I had found bob had gotten one of those pull down window covers for the window so of course I was going to use it.. :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

The entry door was never fully installed on the door knob side. It took a little work to get it where it needed to be.

 

[crash2]

The wood trim around the door was a little tougher and ended up pretty decent. It sure cleaned up around the door though and I did find a couple spots where the sheetrock meets the wood that I could have done a little better job.

 

[crash2]

So I got the ceiling all insulated finally since the rain hit and I can't work on the new pasture.

 

[crash2]

I got some plywood and finished the loft. I gave the section facing the stalls a lip. But its all ready to store stuff and time to go thru the other shop and figure out what I am going to hold onto.

 

[NOISYBOY]

everything looks like its coming together nicely. :awesomework:

Thanks---coming along slowly as funds pop up. Working on my list of needs since in september should have the funds to finish it.

 

[junkyard jim]

... and I can't work on the new pasture.

I have to hide that from my wife! She wants a horse soooo bad!

 

[crash2]

YES...... I am about 2 weeks from starting to order all the big stuff..

Anybody used these air hose reels?

[zukkev]

Yup, got one hung off the hoist (christmas present last yr)...The unit works well for what it is (I would buy another), but the hose it comes with sucks, and started leaking in 3 months...I replaced it with Parker hose, and haven't had any issue since...:awesomework:
