    I’m going to do closed cell in my shop soon, do you think 1” was enough? I have a lot of guys quoting at least 1.5”? Most of them have told me I need at least 2” which I know to be bs

      I believe 1” is plenty for a shop but I’m sure 1.5” would be better. It’s hard to say on my end because my shop doors are roll up and not panel style. Therefore I have a gap at the top that lets the heat and Cold in. But it’s a lot cooler in the summer for sure. It makes the building a lot more rigid feeling that’s for sure.

        I’m no expert but according to my builder, it supposedly takes at least 1.5” closed cell to act as a true moisture/vapor barrier.
        I would definitely use 2” of closed cell...at least in the roof. It will obviously help with regard to the R value and temperature standpoint as well. We went with 2” closed cell in the roof and 1” on the walls of my shop.

            I haven’t posted in a while....works been busyI got the wife talked into to selling the house in town and moving into the shop house full time for around a year or two until we build a house out here.

            Our thoughts are to sell our house in town and sit on the money until lumber gets back to somewhat normal and then build.

            Also.....we have our first baby on the way and due late September so we might be cramped in 800 sq ft but I keep telling her it will be worth it when we build!

            I finally got grass to grow...renting a no till drill and planting Bermuda in a couple weeks for a good perennial cover







            Got the garden tilled up and ready to plant

                        Question and sorry if I missed this. Did you put anything down on top of crushed concrete for your driveway and lean-to area? If not has dust been a problem tracking into shop and house?

                          The dust is a problem. We are going to finish concrete all the way under both lean tos this year

                            You'll be surprised at how big that 800 sq ft is. My wife and I are living in 800 sq ft and building our house right now. As long as you can get outside and stretch your legs, you'll realize all you do is sleep in the apt.

                            If I can make one friendly suggestion to you. Install a tv outside in shop where you can put a couch and some kind of recliner to unwind and watch a little tv. We did and it makes a world of difference.

                            BTW, place is looking great

                              Interesting. Trying to decide what to do about paving our place and a friend warned me that dust will be a problem and we will eventually wind up wanting to finish with asphalt or concrete. I wasn’t planning on it though...[emoji52]. Thanks.

                                Congrats on the place and the little one. Honestly Until they can walk, 800SF is plenty of space! Babies don’t take up a lot of space.....but all their crap does! And now you have a big pretty yard for him to go run around In.
