Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Some of this work was completed in late March.

We had 8 glass panels above the Low bay area and the only windows into the shop area.
For security we added bars which also gave the windows a vintage look of mutton bars.

On the outside back wall we opted for Corrugated metal siding. We thought we could compete this in a weekend , it took almost 2 months before the last panel was up.

Completed at last:

Love the corrugated steel. Great look. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I will be doing wainscoting w/ corrugated steel on 2 of my shops walls.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Through May and June we concentrated on some of the smaller stuff like getting the back wall insulated. We had to leave it in this state for a while as we waited for the electricians to install light boxes and power outlets.

The building initially had three washrooms, we wanted to consolidate down to one and create a &quot;wet room&quot; for parts washer, stainless sinks, storage cabinets and floor drain. We needed to open a 24&quot; opening to 40&quot;.
A jack post was installed before demo as this was a load bearing wall.

with our vertical cut made it took about 5 swings and a mulligan to bring down the brick.

We ordered up 1/4 inch C beam channel from a local machine shop cut and drilled to measure.

We welded tabs at the top and bottom for strength and ran anchor bolts both sides front and back.

You guys are killing it!!!!

A &quot;wet room&quot; you will be able to clean parts without messing up the whole shop:-)

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Great thread. Awesome shop space.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

From Mid June to Mid July allowing for attending to our day Jobs, vacation time, family commitments we managed to piece the last parts of the back wall interior. Option one was to clad in the same corrected metal as the outside, second option was to go for a barn look with vertical red cedar, rough side out and stained dark to match the vertical posts. The ceilings and upper beams had been sun bleached over the years and so there would be a contrast.

We opted for the cedar on the advice of helper Mike J.

All boards were routed to provide overlap as there would be twisting and shrinkage as they dried out, next step was pre assemble to make sue we had the right fit.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psurawtjhn.jpg
After pre assemble the planks were stained, convenient use of the paint booth.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps4ck4j7vj.jpg

Assembly started on the low bay wall

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...pstceuuctj.jpg

Low bay wall finished and all trimmed out.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psqhqkxepb.jpg

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

The high bay wall required planks 12 feet long, again routed for an overlap and 6 cutouts had to ne made for electrical boxes.


Mr C climbing the corporate ladder for plank fitment. Notice the use of all the latest safety gear.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psolumu67j.jpg

With 5 planks left to go it seemed a good idea to sign off on the wall build. It was known as the 8 ply wall, studs,3/4 outside sheeting, Tyvek, cladding, insulation, vapor barrier, 3/8 sheeting and cedar plank. WE signed off with moniker we had earned for the construction.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psbs7pz0cg.jpg

We carried over the use of barn lights on this wall, and had a separate switched box for neon signs for four locations in the shop.

Here are some of the amentias that were in the shop wand we decided to keep them as there would be some future use, plus they add to the rustic character.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

One of the building features was a swing crane installed at the front door. I really wanted to keep this both for historical and future use purposes. On closer inspection it interfered with our gas line and it impeded the installation of a new overhead door. It had to go!! Our neighbour Greg assisted with his forklift and we had to cut off the bolts that ran through the block (nasty job). Bye Bye Crane.

This will be home to the compressor, steel shelving for items we don't need in the shop.
Air and a outside water lines will be plumped into here.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

With the back and interior of the building mostly complete, except for some minor details we need to tackle the front and replace a wall before we started to finish out our &quot;wet room&quot;

The wall as it looked in May:

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Lloyd and I were facing busy work schedules for September and had not done a lot in August due to vacations and other commitments. We decided we were going to demo and rebuild the exterior wall on Sunday Aug 28 with and early start and a commitment to get it closed on the same day:

7:00 AM new temporary support wall built into place.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psrm66dkqp.jpg

Pass through was created for building materials extra TP and reading materials. Coincidentally it looked like a mini church window and given the fact we worked on Sunday this was as close as we got to being reverent.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psaur93f6t.jpg

By 8:30 we had the old wall down, you can see the rot at the bottom below the window.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps2d8ui2al.jpg

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...pshmawhur2.jpg

After cleaning, we stated building the new wall for tilt up. We got to this about 1:00 PM after a trip to Home Depot to pick up additional material. See sections of the old wall on the driveway.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psbw4l18kv.jpg

We used pressure treated 2x4 on the bottom plate, then wrapped in Blue Skin waterproof membrane and with a Butyl rubber seal at the bottom.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psbw4l18kv.jpg
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psqmznkw24.jpg

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Our old wall was made up of 2x4, then a horizontal 3/4 inch t and G siding, a 3/4 shiplap vertical siding, followed by a Styrofoam :insulation&quot; and them Vinyl siding. In order to keep the same thickness for the new Vertical Metal siding we would put on we needed to double sheet 3/4 inch plywood to keep the outer surface even.

The bottom sheet is pressure treated 3/4 inch plywood and the top and inner layer is 3/4 inch sheeting grade.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psuwthwm5w.jpg

By 6:00 PM we were done, all closed in and we are ready to resume work on the bathroom, Wet room and exterior wall as time permits in Sept and October.

Inside view finished.

This is my 2003 Yukon XL which has been used to deliver a lot of the building supplies to the building:

It has also earned the privilege of parking in the PRO lot at Home Depot:

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psuxr7nwbi.jpg

On Friday Sept 2 Lloyd and I went for more supplies, we spotted another tradesman's van in the lot and felt compelled to share:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps2uuucnux.jpg
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...pslijrf8zx.jpg

Not sure what business he was in, the color chart may indicate he is a painter. Noteworthy accessories are the coat hangers, mops and the climbing rope around the mirror. the dash had about 7 years worth of receipts, coffee cups and who knows what else. The appearance of the van would indicate someone who doesn't give a sh%t. However the van appeared to have been recently painted (with a roller) and the wheels had new paint. Couldn't resist the photo.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

We did get some work done on Friday, completed the TYvek after we did some rot repairs to the lower wall and commenced with the metal cladding on the front East wall:

Our friend Mike P volunteered to do some painting on the weekend and finished the West wall just before sunset:

Making use of the good weather, we are focused on getting as much outside completed this fall and finish up the inside stuff when we lose the daylight and good weather.

Wow, and it's a Quadrasteer equipped 3/4 ton example! Have you run into any issues with the unique parts for that rear steer system (yet)?

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Re 2003 Yukon XL
Truck has been very reliable. Nothing related to Quadrasreer has given any problem.
Had an inner carrier bearing fail at 80,000 miles, now has 120,000. Bearing failure caused by dealer putting wrong fluid in at 60,000 mile service, could not prove their neglegence. Had all bearings replaced at a cost of $2600.00. Special tools and some specific seals required, vehicle at dealer for three weeks awaiting parts during GM bankruptcy period in 2010.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

While Paul was travelling I though I would tackle a small project still on the &quot;we'll get around to that&quot; list. The fire door between the hall to the front office area and the warehouse needed rehanging and a cedar surround added.

The fire door and steel frame were hastily hung by someone lacking carpentry skills and seemingly very little patience. Although the steel door and welded frame were in good condition they were barely hanging on with only a few fasteners and were way out of plumb and level.
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...psowrkzlf6.jpg

I started by re-framing the top of the door and adding some blocking to the vertical rough-in studs so the frame could be reoriented plumb and level. I also added some plywood spacers around the outer door frame to allow the surround cedar planking to be slid under the frame edge for a more tailored look.
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3lqnfis4.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...pszp0nxqil.jpg

As the few remaining screws were undersized I though I would use larger torx head fasteners for added strength and to give the frame an industrial look much like the welded support frame on the adjacent Wet Room entrance. And yes, the door frame is now level and plumb...
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...psdpenkhlp.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...psfvvou1zd.jpg

Vertical cedar planks were then cut to size, routed for overlap joints and the edges eased for a better ascetic. A filler strip was added under the right side plank to account for the difference between the block wall recess and the door frame. I made a header molding by ripping a strip of cedar plank on the table saw and routing the edge with a roundover bit. All the pieces were then dry fitted, disassembled then stained and finish installed with nails and glued in place.
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...pslb4kpdx7.jpg

All that's left to do is paint the door frame and door - nice to get that one off the list

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Good job, And good post

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Its been a few months since the last post, not that we have not been doing anything, its just that business trips, family, work in general and MCACN got in the way of us finishing any particular phase, plus there were setbacks.
Over the next week I will post updates on what we achieved in the past 3 months.
First here is where we left off with the outside:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...pswthan274.jpg

After getting this done we discovered the entire remaining sill was rotted. Don't know how two car guys who have had to deal with rust over the years would thing a building was any different.
A sample of what we found:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psru3nl2my.jpg
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psfmzgopnq.jpg
We peeled back the Tyvek and opted to do a bottom up repair replacing the sill and the botten 12 inches of stud along with scabbing in brace pieces.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...pssz3ipteg.jpg
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psdm88rrte.jpg

After everything was complete we were able to complete the siding, All this word was done Oct 27-29.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop

Looking good guys!

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

During the time we could spend at the shop Sept to November we also tackled the bathroom/Wetroom. There used to be 3 washrooms here and this is what it looked like:

After our friend and helper MEJ did the demolition all that remained was the prison toiler and a lot of old plumbing under the floor:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...psaygzxhrp.jpg

We hired the plumber to dig up the floor and lay in the new waste plumbing along with a floor drain and a shower drain:
