Elgin Shop – Insulating Part 2

Finished up the insulation!

Framed around the roll up garage door:

Then we rolled out the rest of the R30 insulation:

And

Then we spray foamed all the large gaps that are to small for fiberglass:

And cut off the excess:

Drywall starts tomorrow!

Elgin Shop – Insulating Part 1

Got the Insulation going this weekend. The insulation/radian barrier that the builder installed is like the this Reflectix. According to the site it had a 3.7 R Value. I really did not get it for the insulation properties but rather it barrier properties. It will help with the condensation that happens down here on the metal roofs and buildings.

The walls have R19 all the was around:

And R30 in the ceiling:

And

Still need to do a little finishing, should be able to start dry walling soon.

Elgin Shop – Framing the Ceiling Part 4

Finished putting the brackets on the ceiling studs we put up, now we are ready for insulation and drywall:

and:

Elgin Shop – We Have Been Framed; An Inside Job

We got the interior wall all framed up! Here is a shot of our first ever interior wall frame section:

We bolted down, squared, and leveled each section as we set it up:

Here is our doorway, 38 1/4 by 82. We are putting in a 36 inch door, should allow us to get anything we want through it:

Came out pretty straight:

All finished up with the fire breaks. We are pretty happy with the way it came out:

Elgin Shop – Framing the walls Part 3

Well the external wall framing is done, stick a fork in it! Here is a shot of the fire breaks:

Here are the anchor bolts:

Next up, interior wall and ceiling brackets.

Elgin Shop – Framing the walls Part 2

Got the ‘core’ framing done. Still need to tighten it up, but the big part is done.

I am going to put in some fire breaks and I need to anchor each section to the foundation. I added some extra support brackets. As I stated in other posts, don’t plan to go back in so I will over engineer it as much as I can.

I will be able to hang anything I want on the walls by the time I am done!

Elgin Shop – Framing the Walls Part 1

Started framing the walls! We are doing 16 inch on centers, yes it is over kill but it will allow me to hang anything I want on the walls. My logic is also that the walls will only be open once so I would like to do everything I can.

All the electrical conduit did not line up the way I had planned and we are starting to run into challenges. Here is how we are correcting one of them:

Here is one of the corner pieces:

Elgin Shop – Framing the Ceiling Part 3

Got what I will call the ‘core’ ceiling framing done. Still need to put on more support brackets and frame around the roll up garage door.

We got and stacked another load of 2×4’s

We also got our first section of the wall framed! Hope to get some more done this weekend.

Elgin Shop – Framing the Ceiling Part 2

Got a little bit more done on the ceiling this weekend. Only have one more complet row and the roll up door row left.

Here is the setup I am using to get it done. Allows me to put up 6 studs at a time. The ends I do with just the ladder. You can see the spring clamp holding the spacer stick or “story stick” lets me move quick and consistently.

I dont think I can get anything done during the week, I hope to get it done this weekend so I can start on the walls.

Elgin Shop – Framing the Ceiling Part 1

Started framing up the ceiling today, I am putting studs 24 inch on center in preparation for insulation and drywall. Here is a shot of the first row:
