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 🤣IMG_4308.jpegIMG_4309.jpeg

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 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…

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.

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

Oh and most importantly…

I’ve been parking the truck back there. I’m enjoying having it in a garage for the first time ever. It doesn’t suck.
This sucks though.

I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold off the mini-split install that I was hoping to wait on. It’s just that when I reach into my pockets for some money I just find lint and old Home Depot receipts. I’m living my “let’s have ramen for dinner tonight” era after paying for the shop 🤣
