Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

[N-Smooth]

Well......Mike has a sickness. It's a good sickness where he won't rest until everything in his world is awesome, but.... I lost my train of thought. Not sure where I was going with that.

You are me. I am you.

Gutters are on and the wife’s stupid hippie dippie rain barrels look like they’ll work. I just need to build a little brick base for them. Yay and stuff 🙄

I also got the lights on the front during lunch. Legitimate yay.

I think your tie-dyed shirts are done being washed in your naturally collected alkaline rain water.

Painting sucks. Ryan lost his paint sprayer that I was going to borrow so I just started rolling it today. Cutting it in took me forever- that’s where the sprayer would’ve been amazing. Anyhow, I just got done with the primer coat. This Sherwin Williams stuff better be amazing cause it was $$$.

Also, rolling the ceiling just showered me with drops of paint, no matter how slow or careful I was. I’m COVERED 🤣

Looks good, freckles!

Not that YOU would need them, but I have a pair of drywall stilts that make painting and cutting in high places a breeze if you want to try them.

I got the ceiling outlets in today and got the lights back up. It’s VIOLENTLY bright with the walls painted.

Hopefully a buggy. We all know that's the only way it'll be finished

Gotta be lumber stalks for all the woodworking he’s planning on doing.

I hardly got any time in the shop but I managed to finish and test all 30-something outlets. That feels like a pretty solid win. I wanted to get more done but the wife needed help with a whole truck-load of mulch, a new ceiling fan and vanity lights in a bathroom. I was thinking I’m just a really great husband, doing this for no other reason than to help her out but then I remembered…

…I just like to look at (and touch) her butt 🤣🤣🤣

Garage door got installed today. I’m immensely pleased with the decision to do a high-lift track and a wall-mounted opener. It’s RAD!

Which one did you go with? I've been wanting to do one on one of my bay doors that I drive in and out of a lot. Looking good Nate! What's left?

It’s a Liftmaster LM8500. It’s quiet and FAST. It has the deadbolt lock and MyQ built-in. I had them leave off the Bluetooth light as I may not mount it at all. We’ll see. Also didn’t have them mount the keypad on the outside because I’m not sure I even want/need one. I wanted MyQ to match my attached garage openers, it’s nice.

The door is a Martin to match the attached. They’re made in Utah which is neat and are a pretty nice product. The door is insulated and has seals all the way around which should be good for the mini-split situation.

I think my favorite part is an idea my uncle gave me. I put the extra clicker they gave me on the wall inside the man-door on the attached garage. So I can open the shop as I walk out. Super simple but not something I would’ve thought about.

That’s the same motor on my 8x10 door on my shop. I have that door high lift to the same height as my 14x14 door.

I went out of town Friday afternoon and just got back a few hours ago. I was just showing my buddy the door and it stopped working. Lol. The opener is just spinning on the rod so I expect tightening the bolts would resolve it but I’m not doing it. Hopefully they send someone out ASAP. Yay and stuff
