More Painting

I've gotten most of the painting done.  All the walls, and 1/2 the ceiling, the rest of the ceiling will have to wait until i unload the storage into the garage and set up the garage.  I need to return the storage container. 

It will be nice to see the Locost out of storage and back to sitting idle (haha) in the garage, also having my tools where i can get to them will be NICE!  man i miss having them at my fingertips.

Painting

I took the day off work so that i could make some good progress in the garage.  I got the last of the OSB up in the garage, and then i started to paint.  I got 2 coats of primer up, on all the walls and the ceiling and that took me up until 9:30pm.  13.5hr day...

  I also had a friend stop over to pull the trailer out of the yard to infront of the garage so when i was ready I can unload it.  Well a brand new Dodge 1500 could not figure itself out to put any real power down to pull the 18' trailer out of the yard?  I never really hunkered down and dug... It thought about it but it seamed like the traction control would kick in and not let it dig...  I guess its time to get the real HD trucks over there and pull it out.

Wall Board

  Ben and I worked last night and got the back wall up and 2 sheets up on the ceiling.  Its coming together, slowly but it will get there.  Having the insulation in there makes a HUGE difference.  Its up to temp and hot in there in no time.  We even turned off the heater for over a hour.  Here are a few crappy Cell phone pics.  I will take better ones before i start tonight.

Backwall

 

You can see all the outlets :)

Wiring, Insulation & Sheeting

  I got the rough wiring inspection done and it didn't pass, i had the grounds and the neutrals backwards in the box so i had to swap them, he also wanted the main power feed encased in PVC in the walls, so i had to also do that.  I also needed "Tamper resistant" outlets...  So i had to swap out 18 outlets.  I got all of those changes made by last Wednesday and i was waiting for the inspector to OK it so that i could insulate and put up the sheeting.  I didn't get a response Thursday and i called until i got a hold of him on Friday and he gave me the ok to insulate and put up the wall sheeting.

  My father came and helped me insulate Saturday and we got it all up on Saturday.  Sunday i was only able to work for about 3.5hrs, but Ben and I got both of the sidewall sheeting up.  Ill be out there again tonight trying to get the back wall done along with starting the ceiling.  Its defently getting there. 

Wiring

  I had a good weekend working on the garage.  Saturday I was able to get out to the garage for a few hours, working on making the connection in the main service box.  Sunday i spent 8hrs in the garage with the help of a friend Ben.  We were able to get all 6 lights up and wired, fix some incorrectly run wires, finish all the connection in the service panel, and nailed down the service wire in the house.  I'm FINALLY ready for the rough in inspection!  Lets hope that it goes well and i can get this project finished up and start using the garage as a garage! 

Wiring in the garage

 

  I'm slowly getting the garage wired, and when i get that done i can insulate and put up the wallboard.  And then do some ACTUAL work on the locost.  Man this moving stuff stinks!

Moving

Well we got moved in.  We are at the new house and unpacking.   Now I need to figure out how to dig the trench from the house to the garage in the middle of January in the Northeast?  I'm already missing my garage time, i've got to get going on this.
