Pete M Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 seems perfectly usable to me. if a project pops up, you now have a work space that is sheltered from the elements.

500 MJ Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Looking great Ben! Nice progress for 2020. 2021 will be a great year for finishing this all off how you want it. The hardest work is done, and it was done very nicely! Be proud, you have done a great job on this.
Pete M Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 it'll be there eventually. my garage in Michigan was barely a step beyond that (only had 110 and turned out the guys that wired it did it wrong so the power was temperamental at best) but it was the greatest thing ever when changing a power steering pump in the winter. you have done well.
89 MJ Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Looks great! Considering you have a job and did a lot of this project by yourself, you have made a lot of progress on this.
neohic Posted January 2, 2021 Author Posted January 2, 2021 I pushed wire today so I could make plans for the next step and finished insulating another wall. Wiring was turning into a real headache. Seems as though this whole state is catered towards contractors. When I was finishing the roof I went all the way up to Cheyenne to get vented soffit because I either couldn’t get it or nobody had a clue what I was looking for. Had a few other occasions similar to this and now with getting my wiring going. In the past I’ve gone to Menards or Fleet Farm like any other good Midwesterner that’s after specialized building supplies. This past week I ran back up (COVID safely) to Minnesota for the holidays. Why not just get what I need?... and at a much cheaper price than what I could find on Colorado? Filled a good portion of the trunk but I made it happen. The decision to sell my two post lift was decided today as well. COME AND GET IT. More tomorrow.

89 MJ Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 The only time my truck is inside is in the winter, when it needs work, and if it is going to storm bad. I think lots of the other trucks are outside even more than mine.
neohic Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Got some stuff done today but not totally finished. I rearranged a few things from the little shed to the shop. FINALLY!!!... ... my old toolbox has a permanent home after four and a half years!! Honestly, I’ve never really cared for the box but I don’t think I’ll replace it at this point. Still more tomorrow.

MiNi Beast Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 hey does your framing gun there sometimes no fire the nail? i have same gun and I named it "sometimes" as it sometimes works like it should.

That nail gun leaks air from everywhere, I’ve never oiled it, it’s been dropped from ladders a bunch, and yet it works flawlessly.

neohic Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Framing is completely done! I’ve had the gable ends to wrap up so everything is flush to the walls. Still a little more insulation to go but my knees decided that I’d better go do something that doesn’t involve a ladder. Did you notice the seat? Not sure the manufacturer but it was in the CJ when I got it. I sold it and then it was given back to me because the guy didn’t use it. Anyhow, I've got zero interest in putting it back into the Jeep. I was getting a bunch of stuff from my little shed and I got tired of moving it around. I’m sure it’ll get moved around in the loft but it makes for a nice little spot to chill. It’ll get a proper base if it retains its garage couch status.
MiNi Beast Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 perfect shop seat. hang in from the rafters and have your self a bench swing
