You sound more excited about that office space than the rest of the shop, Sawhorse. It is really coming together, quickly. What is going to be on the outside? Inside(sheetrock)? I’m happy for you because I went through the same joy about six to eight months ago.

Yeeeehawwww!!! It’s comin together!

I think it’s an office/bunkhouse. LOL

Just pointing out the openings and the interior walls in case anyone was wondering Oscorner…..I’ll wrap the outside once with 5/8” OSB and cover that with 4×8 sheets of pine siding, and then I’ll prime and paint it. The inside will have mostly OSB, but some slat wall as I have about 6 or 7 sheets of slat wall I got out of a Mervyn’s Dept. store when it closed.

I had the same feeling when they were building mine!

Sawhorse, I wrapped mine with Tyvex and insulated the wall to R13 and the ceiling to R19. I can keep it toasty with a 16,000 BTU propane heater set on the second setting(I don’t know how many BTU’s that is) and maintain 55 degrees on the lowest setting with the outside temps in the upper 20’s. When deciding whether or not to insulate, I found out that it was only a $250 difference in price, so I insulated and am sure glad that I did. Thanks for the updates!

I’ll talk to my builder, that’s no a bad idea….thanks…I’ll still use “roll” insulation the inside

I agree with Os, My building has 6 X 6 posts with 2 X 6 between the posts with a 2 X 4 on the outside. The cavity has insulation stuffed in there. I don’t know how much. and it has r19 in the ceilings.

Today it was 64 deg in the building and it was 84 outside. The building is comfortable year around. I’ve got a ceiling space heater that gets it warm in the winter. I set the thermostat at 62 deg when I’m in the shop. When I’m out I turn it off. I’ve never seen it below 40 in the winter. usually in the 50’s if I I’m the shop every day.

I’ve got a 24,000 air conditioner for the summer.

Insulation is a good investment, the more the better.

Deffinately a good idea to insulate, will help alot with the AC. Also feel alot cozier inside.

Insulate, and you will be able to spend more time in the shop all year round. Cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter. Besides the temperature for finishing, it has to be comfortable enough to work in.

Had the insulation delivered this afternoon, I’ll be putting it in Sunday afternoon. 900 ft of R13…
