McBridge Cabinets - Progress on the New Shop

Excellently done job. I checked over your pictures and could tell you did the job right. Very nice job on the 1900 boxes on the side wall. Great piping job on them. Don’t think I could have done any better and I did tht work for 37 years. I have no idea what you are going to be putting in there inside of this well designed work shop but it looks to me that you planned for everything. Great job my friend. Thanks for sharing. Bye.

Looks like everything is coming together for you at last. Thanks for the detailed pictures.

BTW, that smile might really be a grimace or it could be a smile as she is thinking about the poor sap on the other end of the blower.

Hello ND, I got my PSI cyclone hung about a month ago, but still need to hook the bag up and run the ducting, I’m just going to do a short run straight down to the floor with metal ducting and hook up a hose there. But anyway, after geting the unit hung I noticed that the motor mount wasn’t positioned correctly to attach the brace that goes to the wall. I then called PSI and was told that I could attach that brace down at the the very bottom of the unit on the cone flange. I needed to cut the brace shorter and redrill a hole in the brace, but it seems to do the job. I just thought I’d give you a heads up being, that it isn’t mentioned in the manual that you can do that. You may want to add some braceing in the wall for it also if you end up going that route. And also, darn nice looking shop, I like the way you run your electrical outside of the rock in conduit, makes for alot easier modifications in the future. I’m jealous.

From what I here you will soon need those R-30 rated shorts!! LOL. it’s fun to get a shop together. Keep ‘er comin’, Pardner.

Haa Haa Haa! I really love the looks of the old man—been there, done that and I hate it! It sure does help though, the insulation that is.

Post more pictures when you get the cyclone done, please. Gotta git me one of them thangs!

God Bless

LQQKING Great… So THAT’S what I have to look forward to when I put the insulation in the ceiling of my new shop. It looks as though it’s best for me to do this job before summer so the skin pores aren’t opened up with sweat & I can be covered up from head to toe also.

From your blogs, I see that you ran conduit for the electric on the previously finished walls. Did that add much to the cost of your wiring portion of the job? ...Or did it save you some $$$?
