Shop build. HEAT!

I posted a picture of my wood garage walls I had been working on and I'm pretty sure everything thought my garage was going to burn down, starting the worse known to man wild fire, that would end up burning down north America and then the world, ceasing human population all together.

Here's a little sample, of my pending World Doom.

We shall start the apocalypse together!!!!! Lol

Also that looks good. Lots of good info over there. But start doing something not so normal. Unless it's pretty expensive and your da debil. I will admit I'm egging that particular thread on pretty good

Yeah, for sure I got flamed pretty good for my construction of my walls, my shop is going to burn down, my shop won't hold heat, I'll be tossing money out the window due to how I'm doing insulation, and I shouldn't do any welding because the finish on my boards ( dainish oil) will spark up and burn, etc,etc.
Never forking mind I'm a forking PROFESSIONAL welder.... I quit getting on over there.

Unless it's completely overbuilt and a waste of time, money and construction materials it's not worth a shit.

Naw, I'm gonna let the thread die. I'm a supporter of conventional wisdom, and right now, I'm not entirely sure I'm gonna have time to build a get it setup how I want too anyway. So no point in egging it on. It's just a bunch of experts who do things by the book.

I will say I got banned for a week by posting the only reason electrical codes change every year is because if they didn't produce tons of changes those who write the code would be out of a job lol.

I have said this for decades. Doesn't help to bring it up when you are pulling a permit.
 
Just pulled a permit for a new leach field for my house. Have to upgrade before we sell. I turned the permit in incomplete because I could not get an appointment to ask questions. Told me 2 to 4 weeks. I got it 2 days later. I figure I can build it however I want seeing as how it is missing a lot of information.
 
Hey Eric, I bet you could mount that compressor on a wall similar to how we put these air receivers around our shop at work if you built a frame and attached it right into one or two of those big 6x6’s that make up the structure of your building. I wouldn’t worry about pulling one of those down.

Thats a 400 gallon receiver tank bolted via that frame to an I beam in our weld shop.
 
Late to the compressor party but my uncle had a huge compressor up on a shelf at his machine shop for years. It was a horizontal compressor, had to weigh 1K+ pounds and the shelf was in the back corner and was probably 14'X8' IIRC. He stored all kinds of crap up there including partially built harleys. Had a smaller glue lam with joists running toward the wall and a single metal pole on the unsupported corner. I remember helping him rebuild the compressor up there, first time I used a ball hone on a cylinder.
 
Funny thing on the compressor I've changed my mind so much I think it might just sit on the floor for now.

There's space between the mill and the waste oil heater that is kind of useless. That gets me up and running. It will eventually go up on a shelf or I'll build a little lean to and house it along with the waste oil tank.

But I gotta get crap moved in. And can honestly spend my time in much more productive ways.

Plus when I figured the cost for my chimney pipe for the waste oil heater I messed up. I'm about 300 bucks short. That double wall pipe is spendy! Gotta do it proper. Asked the insurance about it. They had no issue with it. As long as it's on a thermostat and the chimney is done using approved stuff.

Course I said I have a fuel oil heater. I didn't mention the fuel was used oil
 
Hmmm, I think I have about that much 3" pipe kicking around here...
 
My garage doors don't seal too well.
I plan to put the basic vinyl seal on the outside but wanted to get em sealed up before then.

Total invested is 25 bucks .

I bought weather strip that is a brush.
