Trying to Quieten the 110KVA Generator
awemawson:
No I don’t but drilling one would be easy. Theoretically it should stay dry, the rain cap should keep the rain out and condensation should evaporate as it will be hot but now you mention it I’ll drill one :thumbup:
I’m now looking for used welding blankets to hang up as sound absorbers so if anyone has a pile please let me know.
awemawson:
Guests arriving this morning so not much will be done, however I managed to 'clear the decks' ready for the second (return) wall to be built. I've only two full height panels left, one being a metre wide and the other 35 inches, so that dictates the wall length!
Also I've drilled a drain hole in the exhaust stack as suggested by Kayzed1 - thanks :thumbup:
jiihoo:
Hi Andrew,
--- Quote from: awemawson on September 01, 2020, 10:53:56 AM ---Annoyingly, when I'd carefully cut panel #6 to height and cut round the RSJ and fixed it in place, I found that it was only 35 inches wide, unlike the rest that are a 1 metre coverage. It doesn't really matter except that I now have 4 inches of angle iron sticking out at the end of the wall. I'll probably cut it off with an angle grinder at some stage.
--- End quote ---
Assuming this is not a corner but end of the wall: Maybe fix a 2 x 4 or 2 x 5 vertically on the end of the wall, fixed to the extra length of angle iron. Do a roundover on the outer corners if you want to be fancy and then start calling it a design feature to "protect the frail edge of the paneling".
You could also install a light switch, electrical outlets or hooks for extension cords etc. on it.
So definitely seeing this more of a design feature than a mistake here :wave:
Cheers,
Jari
awemawson:
Yes nice touch!
I’m following some strip pvc curtains in eBay and if I win them they will form the “door’’ between the two walls so a vertical there is probably needed anyway
awemawson:
After the guests had left I was able to escape for 5 minutes and cut the top and bottom angles for the second wall.
(Top angle is much longer as it needs to span three rafters)
