Burned some Oak, Cherry & maple, In Alaska!

Hey Dave - if ya want, I can get you some 5/8" x 16 ft rock. It will cut down on the finishing. :lol:

(and yes, there truly is 5/8" x 16 ft drywall)

NO THANK YOU
I built a scaffold (on wheels with brakes) with 4' rollers so I didn't have to lift but one end at a time & walked/roll it up to the top in 4' increments for the ceiling. Then wooden "T" bars to hold it in place while I screwed it on.
It was fun, I could get 2 to 3 ceiling pieces a day.
Walls were 1/2", used the scaffold with step ups on the side then rolled the scaffold it in place.
12' was bad enough, less taping, 16' would take a "real men" to hang

How thick are the insulated walls?

Seriously beautiful shop, Dave. I'm moving this thread out of The Wood Shed forum and over into the Perfect Picture forum where I think it's a better fit. Hang on...here we go. Rick

Thanks Fossil
Like all threads, they evolve. I should've started it there, but I did burn some West Virginia Oak, Maple & Cherry LOL :lol:

6"
Took care to not break thru the vapor barrier. Insulated the electrical boxes.
Keep it around 40 when not out there working. Thought about a wood stove, still may put one in but floor space is a premium.
I keep adding shelves high up so not to use up floor space.

That is beautiful Dave. Great work you do and I can relate to the time thing. How could we ever find enough time to go back to a regular job?

Oh, are you sure that wood was seasoned enough?

Thanks

LOL
Good question
I don't have moisture meter.
Figured 20 years or so should be enough :lol:

Did a 2 year clean up of the shop.
Found several thing I forgot I had.
Hauled 4 full 5 gallon buckets of wood scrapes to the wood stove.
Will use some for kindling, but it's burning hot. 20 year seasoned wood burns good
I burned some West Virginia Red & White Oak, Cherry, & hard maple
Couldn't make my self burn anything I might use, saved lots of small pieces.
