2010-04-29 Installing insulation, building a work bench, and moving day

On this page of the storage building saga I had to admit there were some things I could no longer do myself.
I had to call NRG Savers to finish the insulation.


After working like crazy for a whole day and suffering for it for the next 2 days I realized my body wouldn't take it having to install all that overhead insulation.  I figured it wouldn't do to have someone just install that part of it so I had them do it all.  First, this guy was a professional.  He fixed what I botched then began installing the rest of the insulation, first in the walls then in the ceiling.


I put R-13 in the walls and R-19 in the ceiling.  That's not the best there is but it's sufficient for storage buildings.


What made me feel really bad is this guy did more in one morning than I could have done in a week.


With the insulation up, I was able to buy some lumber and build me a work bench -- finally!!
I've been without a usable work bench for the past 3 years.  More than that, this is the first, well built and stable work bench I've ever had.


I moved a lot of the stuff to the work bench or under it to get it off the floor then I swept the floor.


That made things ready to begin moving storage containers from our rental to our new storage building.
For now, I have no plans for wall covering for the inside of the building.  I'll leave things this way a while.


The double doors make it nice loading and unloading.


With them open I could almost park a car inside.


And the lean-to has really come in handy for lawn and garden equipment.


That's it for this page.  Now you can take a look at how I've been using the new building.
