A shop inside my barn
jmhoying:
I spent two more evenings working on the shop. Ceiling joist are up and framing will be finished in another evening. Hopefully I'll be able to wire it on Saturday and then start with covering the ceiling and walls. Once I have more of the materials out of the main barn area used up, I'll roll most of the tools and tool boxes out of the new shop until I have it painted. The mill and lathe will stay in place.

Spent the day working on the shop. Started the day nailing on all the outlet and ceiling boxes, then running 250' of 12/2 wire, and 50' or 10/3 wire to the appropriate places. Then I put up the drywall ceiling and ceiling light fixtures. Going to sleep good tonight.

Wow Jack,
You are are making progress quite quickly. Is that going to be enough light?

Would it not be helpful to put insulation sandwiched behind a second plywood wall mounted on a 1x4 turned sideways?

I have the 8 lights in the ceiling and can vary how large of bulb that I put in them. The ceiling and walls will be painted white, which will make a huge difference compared to dark or unpainted shops. Also, I have florescent fixtures that I'll be mounting above the mill and lathe, but will be on a separate switch. I also have LED floodlights to put on the mill and lathe. If anything, I think sunglasses may be part of my shop uniform.
