House Shopping

Does it get insulated, or is it not a necessity? It will be nice to work on projects out of the weather.

Looking good!
Some spray foam and a small Mini-split and it will be rock'in!

Gets 1" of sprayed in foam insulation. I have a propane heater for it and will be putting a 12500btu window AC in it too.

Really nice. Heat and AC, my wife would hardly see me.

Doors are hung and the insulation is being sprayed in now. I'll get some pics this afternoon when I get home

Looking good. Any plans for man cave comforts - sofa, tv, refrigerator, wifi?

Maybe a small LED TV, fridge is going in. Have to see if my wifi reaches, might have to get an extended.

That is sweet. Big enough yet not too big. Smoker and grill on the side, roll up awning and it is the place to go in the summer. Okay maybe add a kegerator.
Insulation looks good.

Looks like I need to make a trip eastward.

Come on out when you can

It's progressing nicely.

Got about 5"s of rain since the finished. Zero leaks. Need to to quit raining and dry out some so I can get the crushed concrete drive to it put in.

Is it to far away from the house to park your truck in it every night? How about a side awning to park the trailer under and out of the sun?
I have an 18 year old Sears lawn tractor that has spent its life in my shed and still looks pretty good and run well. Keeping them inside really prolongs the life.

Its right around the back side of the house. Going to eventually put up a side awning.
The RZR and tools will be in it along with the lawn equipment.

Nice. You are definitely doing it right.

Gonna go by Lowes at lunch today and pick up a couple of those units for the shop.

looking good pup!

Got the shelves up and the RZR brought home.

Those shelves look very sturdy.

Looks good. I might want to hook up an alarm and maybe camera system. Friends just lost a nicely modified mustang out of their locked attached garage and a few months earlier some guns from the house.

Even though My guns are in a gun safe I still worry about getting broken into during the day when no one is home. 19 year old who lives up the street is my main worry. We used to shoot together with his dad. He was one of my students in jail. Around a month or so ago, he came walking by with another ex-inmate while I was washing my truck. I was worried all day the next day while at work.

Jason, what do you guys in Texas call crushed concrete as you mentioned above? I ask this because when we go to Georgia I back drag the driveway with a Kabota, and the people we visit called it crush and run. They both are unable to work due to disabilities so I do the 1/4 mile steep driveway every time I go there. Every time I go there they order another tandem load.

Some places call it Crushed Contrete, others will call it Road Base.

That is what we call it here also. Thanks

Having the driveway done tomorrow. Guy that's doing it talked me into a flexbase material made out of crushed stone coming out of Oklahoma. He says its superior to crushed concrete.

Interesting. Does it have a technical name? I'm thinking about it for my friend in Georgia.

He told me, but I'll be damned if I can remember. I'll get the name tomorrow

I looked it up and it looks big in Texas. I haven't been able to find a local site.
When I was younger, I worked in a gravel pit. The best we had was what was called a quarry blend. Part of our job was to take the loader and clean up from under a conveyer belt all the rock that had gotten off the belt and it was called the tailings. We crushed larger stone 24/7, in different sizes. All the tailings were dumped into the same pile, so it was a "quarry blend". That looks a lot like the web sites for the flex base. Packs down so well that it will drive you for a lifetime.
