Shop Update - First ceiling panels are up
arw01
>Ultimately I decided on 15/16" CDX panels for my shop ceiling. The thinking is I can screw or bolt anything anywhere into the ceiling this way. I will spackle the screw holes, calk the seams, and paint them white to help with light in the shop.
I was able to borrow the Genie lift for a long while from work, which makes short work of lifing those panels into their respective locations, and doesn't cost a thing in rentals!
A couple weeks ago a friend and I basically finished out the wall insulation, I still have 3 spots to put up insulation, 2 of which hold quite a lot of lumber. My plan being to ceiling and draywall a section of the walls you see in this photo so that i can "bury" that area in wood and stuff from the garage and start getting moved into my new shop.
With my $99.00 35,000 btu Redi torpedoe heater running with those open joists for 2 hours, the temperature at 6' went from 30 degrees to about 44 degrees. Up in the joists I was sweating, so I am hopefull with a ceiling to hold the heat a bit lower, I will be able to warm the place up enough to work in if not glue in.
