shop ceiling in.

Man that was too much like work. The ceiling is in. Called the Insulation guys and they are too busy next week. Probably be the following week. That should give me time to paint the ceiling and install the lights. Still have a small electrical project in the small shop.

Here is a photo of how I unloaded the sheets onto the panel lift. slid them up my homemade ramp and onto the lift. Then cut out any receptacle openings while it was on the lift. It was really interesting working around the garage door rails. I really really didn't want to have to disassemble them so I figured out a way.

Gotta take some time off next week to work on my demo's for the GAW symposium in Dalton, Ga. Hopefully by the time i get back I'll be ready to put the walls in and paint them and them I get to move my stuff back in the shop.

Can't thank you enough for the load of the panel loader. Man would it have been hard without that. Wasn't easy with it but it was mostly due to out of square places and sometimes my own stupidity. Still it's done and is a huge load off my shoulders. I really think I might actually get to use this shop sometime.

Panel lift

John K Jordan

I'm so glad it helped!

I put up my first 4/8 ceiling ply without it. I struggled with the second one for an hour and almost hurt myself. He next day I drove to Northern Tool and bought the panel lift. It paid for itself very quickly!

I cannot imagine putting up the ceiling by myself without it. (Well, I guess I can, but it would have taken 6 times as long, involve building some braces and catch tabs, and learning some words stronger than "oh poof")

really excited now

Every time I go in the shop it now looks like a shop. The ceiling and windows just made it feel more like home. Can't wait to get the rest of it done. I may actually turn something tomorrow on the mini lathe just to get the feeling back.
