Subject: Re: Monday Chat 05.23.16 by TommyT-Bone on 2016/5/23 13:41:56 Good morning. I made a few mistakes along the way but thankfully I was working with wood so it leaves you a lot of outs. First mistake I made was cutting my wall studs to 8'. Corrected the problem by cutting boards to go between the 2 x 4's giving the base of the exterior and interior plywood something to screw into besides the studs. I sealed everything up with caulking to keep out insects. I sprayed with Home Defense before I caulked giving me a line of defense against insects, mainly ants. Drilled 15/16ths holes for the romex to run through. There are 4 outlets and 1 additional outlet for light switches and one outside for a water pump (future use). Moved the timer for the back nursery water pump. Sue started putting up insulation yesterday while I caulked and replaced one partial sheet on the exterior where the timer box used to be. I know the caulking isn't pretty but it's behind the wall and only Superman will see it or those that still have a set of X-Ray glasses they bought from the comic books as kids. Sue got 2 of 9 sheets done. I have yet to caulk the outside, put in the windows, sheet the inside, paint, trim and other stuff but the project is moving forward. Here are a few pics. The big grey box is where the connections were made to the outlets. The shed is on 4 circuit breakers. The exterior panel by the box is the one that was replaced with a solid panel. |
