Let's Do Some Insulating
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The wall is stripped and it's time to insulate!!
But before I can do that I need to figure out how I can get some insulation behind the electrical panel and OSB. I come up with a plan and it seems to have worked out OK. Then I finish insulating the rest of the wall.
But insulation is not complete without vapor barrier. So I staple up some vapor barrier and then tape all the seams and prepare the vapor barrier bags around the outlet boxes with tape too.
Now I'm ready for some sheathing, but that'll be in another video!!
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. Please 'thumbs up' me and leave me some comments. And if you haven't done so already, please consider 'subscribing' to my channel. It sure helps my videos get noticed and my channel grow.
I hope you all have a great week.
We'll talk to yas ...

I did not think I would ever enjoy watching someone doing some insulation, but this was great and I think it is great to see how you are improving your workshop. You are doing a fantastic job
How's she goin'? I think the shop is certainly going to be a lot more comfortable, especially in the cold of winter. Insulating is not a great activity to do or watch, but speeding it up made it kind of funny to look at eh! Take 'er easy!!!
Looking great! It's going to be a lot warmer now! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏
How's she goin'? You're prayers are very much appreciated Mike. Thanks and God Bless you!! I sure hope the shop will be warmer this winter and that the condensation is non-existent!! Take 'er easy!!
Glad to see you’re finally insulating your shop, I couldn’t imagine how cold it gets there.
How's she goin'? Thanks Kevin. Some days in the winter it gets pretty cold, -25 or so. But I had the diesel fired space heater and that would warm it up pretty quick. Trouble is it made a lot of condensation, plus where the shop wasn't heated continually, the condensation would be really bad by times. With the heat pump and the insulation, it should make a world of difference. Thanks a lot for commenting. Take 'er easy!!
No bones about it, this will make the shop more efficient to heat this winter 😁👍
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! Let's hope no more bones eh!! I sure hope this makes the shop more comfy when it's cold outside!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Very beautiful place, thanks for sharing and have a nice day 👍🙂
How's she goin'? So glad you could stop by and have a look. Thanks. Take 'er easy!!
Awesome job papa. Being retired looks like a lot of work!
Hey Chris. Retirement is pretty nice but there is a lot of work to it. The pay is not great and I haven't had a long weekend in almost 20 years!! But I still like it!! LOL Love ya!!
Looking good dad. Vapor barrier can be a pain by yourself but it sure does make a huge difference
Hey Gerr!! This is 6 mil poly and I find it goes up a lot easier. It kind of goes where it's shoved and stays where it's pushed!! Love ya!!
All the hard work will be worth it when the cold days come. I love these videos, shop organization and renovations interest me. Have a great weekend
How's she goin'? Thanks Bruce. I enjoy dreaming, planning and then doing, but the doing part is starting to get long in the tooth for me!! LOL Glad you are enjoying the videos though! Take 'er easy!!
Look forward to seeing how warm it’ll be this winter! I’m happy for you Mike!
How's she goin'? I sure hope it'll be warmer Russell. One thing already, the sound is muffled a lot more because of the insulation. I think it'll be a lot better as far as condensation build up is concerned too. Thanks for the visit. Take 'er easy!!
Don't mind insulating, one of those jobs you can turn the mind off. Noticed you used a good quality insulation. This is going to be a game changer for the shop. Bring on the winter. Thanks Mike. Stevo
How's she goin'? I checked into a lot of different types of insulation. I almost went with Styrofoam insulation, but in the end I decided to use rock wool. Glad I did too. No mess to cut and fit this stuff and it repels water and critters don't like it. I already notice a difference in the shop!! And the condensation problems that I have been dealing with in past winters should be put to bed too! Let's hope eh! Take 'er easy!!
I enjoy the videos on shop upgrades. It's gonna be nice and all that hard work will be worth it. I hope Nannie is still improving and continued prayers for you both.
How's she goin'? Thanks again Ronnie. God Bless you for doubling up on the prayers buddy! LOL I'm glad you enjoy the shop upgrade videos. I hope there won't be too many more though! Take care!!
Great job. No wonder you were worn out, working so fast. A big job especially by yourself.
I don't usually work that fast, but I wanted to get back in the camp to take a break with you in the lake room! LOL Love ya!!!
Good job Mike the shop is looking good enjoy the the videos keep doing what your doing take care have a great week
How's she goin'? Thanks Tom. Insulting the shop is taking me a long time, but I guess it won't get finished till I'm finished eh! LOL Thanks for your understanding, Take 'er easy!!!
Awesome G《☆》Wow👍🏾🍺🤳You're making good progress Brother🙏🏼I hope Nannie's doing well in her recovery from surgery✌🏼😎☯️
How's she goin'? Thanks Bdog! I'm still dealing with damage from Fiona. But one of these 'years' I hope to get it all cleaned up!! LOL Nannie is doing petty good. Not great but making slow progress. Thanks for asking about here and take 'er easy
I enjoy these videos. I wish I was there to lend a hand. Take care.
How's she goin'? Thanks. I enjoy my time time in the shop, but when it's all tore apart I wonder if this is the right move. But I'm sure it'll be a lot nicer when I'm finished!! Thanks for the visit. Take 'er easy!!
Fantastic job Mike.......
How's she goin'? Thanks!! I knew this as going to be a big job, but I hope when it's all finished, I can look back and think, "it wasn't that bad," LOL We'll see. Take 'er easy!!
I can only imagine that it was probably a bigger job than one would even think getting all that done behind the electrical panel! I helped a friend with some rockwool...that is some pretty great stuff to work with...very forgiving! Looking some nice indeed!
How's she goin'? Thanks Bruce. Getting the insulation behind the electrical panel was not easy. I tried to video it but, with the power off, it was just too dark and not a lot of room to maneuver either!! It turned out good though. I agree the rock wool is nice to work with. Not itchy, a little dusty but cuts nice and stays in the cavities pretty good too. Arrf Arr Otis. Take 'er easy!!
When the snow comes, you will be happy you did it. I’m happy you chose the mineral wool. The mince don’t like that stuff to play in….Good choice….CHEERS
How's she goin'? Exactly Gator. The shop will be warm and I'll be able to spend some time out there without freezing. And I hope no condensation!! The rock wool is great insulation eh. Besides to critters, it doesn't absorb and hold moisture and it's not itchy when installing it!! Take care!!
Now there's a fella that knows how it's done. Awesome Mike. I sure like that rock wool and I see you are using a nice thick vapor barrier. No other way of doin it eh. Have a beauty day and weekend old son. Looks like I'm second today.
How's she goin'? I accidently found out about the heavier vapor barrier. A long time ago, when I was building our house in town, I went to the lumber yard and wanted some vapor barrier. The buddy said all they had was 6mil. I didn't want to look like a rookie so I said, "I always use 6 mil poly" And when I got it home and started to install it I said to Janet, "Well I don't always use 6 mil but from now on I will!!" It sure does go up a lot easier than the thinner stuff. The 6 mil poly stuff kind of goes where you push it and stays there better too! Thanks for tuning in and take 'er easy!!
Hello Grampie. That was a good idea to move the water line out for easier access. You just never know lol. Looks good my friend and have a good week 🙏🔧👍
How's she goin'? Thanks Artie. I had a squirrel chew this water once already, so in case they do it again I wanted to make sure I could get to it!! I hope you are doing OK Artie. I see you're keeping busy in the work yard!! Take 'er easy!!
Mike, the shop is going to be so nice when it's finished. Yeah it's alot of work moving things around but it will be well worth it. I know why your getting more new subscribers, it's because of good content my friend!! 🙏🙏👍🇨🇦🇺🇲
Hello there Roger. Your words are too kind buddy, but keep them coming, they're good for the soul!! LOL Pretty soon the fun is going to go out of this job, because I'll have to start putting things back and organized. That'll be a project!! But at least it'll be warm out there eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good one Mike. You’ll be as snug as a bug in a rug this winter. 👍🏻👍🏻
Have a great weekend Nannie and you. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Hello there Noel!! That's the plan buddy!! When I go to the shop this winter I won't have to wear a coat while working!! That'll be different!! Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!
Good morning Mike. Very nice. The rock wool insulation is so much nicer to work with , compared to the pink stuff. The shop is going to be nice and cozy this winter. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🌞
How's she goin'? Ben I choose the rock wool insulation for the ease to work with plus it doesn't hold or absorb moisture and the critters don't like to nest in it. I hope the shop will be warm enough to work in there this winter with no coat on! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Looks like pretty nice stuff to work with. Nice job!
How's she goin'? Rock wool is great insulation. It repels water and doesn't absorb it. It's not as itchy as fiberglass and critters don't tend to nest in it. I thought that was ideal for the shop. Thanks for tuning in. Take 'er easy!!
Nice job Mike well done , hope Nannie doing ok 👍
Good day eh!! Thanks Nev. Nannie is doing pretty good. Still lots of room for improvement but making progress. Thanks for asking after her!! Take 'er easy!!
Hey Mike , very nice job on the insulation and moister barrier . Shop is going to be toasty this winter !! 👍🏻🔥
How's she goin'? I sure hope it'll be at least warm enough so I can take off my coat!! LOL Thanks for watching Del. It's coming along and I'll soon have to start putting things back and organizing it all!! What fun that'll be!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
That,s alot of hard work. You sure fast with those staples lol Love and prayers to you and Janet
How's she goin'? If I could only move that fast eh!! Wouldn't that be awesome!! Thanks for your prayers Cathy!! They are much appreciated. Take 'er easy!!
Awesome Mike, coming together now
How's she goin'? Thanks Steve. It's a lot of work, but when the temps are -25 this winter I think I'll be liking it!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
It's like global warming is happening in your shop Mike. Keep up the good work!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! That's right Paul. I guess the carbon tax IS paying off!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Like 53 here for you Mike from Mr. Garry. My son Devon and I are busy getting The Ole Church insulated for the winter!
How's she goin'? OK so you know what insulating is all about then. It's a nice job to have finished Garry! LOL Good luck with insulating the old church!! Take 'er easy!!
No apologies Mike. Keep em coming. Turn the ac on. I didn't vapor barrier my garage and the insulation is all dirty, looks terrible. Nice work Mike.
How's she goin'? I did have the AC on this day Kenny, but you know what's it's like when 'men' get to working. Nothing but sweat and results!! LOL Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
I thought you were down at the mailbox, waiting for your prize?😢😊 There’s one thing about insulation that will make you warmer, and that’s putting in in. Good job, Mike. Just think how happy the squirrels will be when they discover how warm the inside of the shop will be this winter🎉🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
How's she goin'? I was at the mailbox in the morning and then I had to go pee, so I figured I may as well get some insulating done while I was back at the shop!! The squirrels have told me they are not impressed with all the moving and jumbling around of the favorite haunts. I think they are pretty well fed up with me and are planning on leaving!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
You are busy adding insulating too I see! Speed X6….awesome job Mike!
How's she goin'? Garry the the only way I knew to get the job done fast was to speed up the video!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Hi Mr. Mike! Just wanted to hollar at ya... you have made some great improvements to the shop...they are going to pay off big when the snow starts falling there this year! When it does i want to see the vid of you putting chains on that sweet fuel caddy you just built 🤠👍 take care and stay safe!!
How's she goin'? Ha ha ha!! Chains on the fuel dolly, OK now I have another project!! LOL A lot of work to insulate the shop, but hopefully this winter I can go out there and not freeze my tail off!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Mike great video ! It's getting warm in there " You might have to put a window in that you can open :)) Maybe above your work bench, It looks great :) take care my friend
How's she goin'? Thanks Don. You know I've been battling with trying to heat the shop for a long time. Maybe now it'll be too warm! LOL A guy can't win eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Looking great Mike! That's a lot of work! I was sweating just watching you. Lol. I enjoy all your videos. I would watch if all you did was sit on a stool peeling potatoes. Take care
How's she goin'? Thanks John! Peeling potatoes, now there's a project I never ever thought of making a video about!! LOL I appreciate your support and I hope to have the shop insulating videos finished soon!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Mike, I am happy you have the funds to insulate your shop... I would love to finish my workshop here in Ohio, but with the price of living month to month with prices in America consider your self lucky not having to go through that in Canada hopefully... chat with you next video
How's she goin'? I hear ya Jack. Just so you know, things aren't cheap here in the Great White North either. This insulation was over $100 a bundle which covers 64 square feet. The sheathing was close to $30 a sheet. The vapor barrier was nearly $100. So the materials to do just this wall and 1/2 in the shop cost over $1000. I have been putting off doing this work since I built the shop almost 20 years ago and this year I finally decided I'll crack open the wallet and go for it!! LOL Thanks for commenting. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop wow I had no idea what cost up there was.. I know everything here in u.s. is off the charts in my opinion
And we just heard from the federal government that the cost of living is down to 2%, their target, so they are all happy. But I don't know what the use to calculate the cost of living because it sure isn't 2%. in my opinion Every price is up it seems.
@@GrampiesWorkshop I completely agree with what you are saying some here in States smh
So what ya going to do in a warm cozy shop, you should be in with nannie, or is she the one that benefits lol great job mike all best to you both.
How's she goin'? That's an interesting thought there Jason. Nannie hasn't been putting up much resistance to me spending all this money on the shop, so maybe she wants me out there and out of her hair!! LOL Thanks for commenting. Have a great weekend!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop lol she is like a fox lol
Insulating is a big job but being able to go out there & do some work in the winter will be nice & warm now. That is one long wall! Are you going to make it a pretty workshop or just an insulated one .Lol That is a big workshop & now you will be able to use it year round. Good job! Love ya rppound
I hope the insulation, along with the heat pump, will make the shop nice in winter. "Pretty' is an interesting word. For me a 'pretty' shop is one that has lots of tools and workspace and I guess for some 'pretty' would mean it's painted, clean and tidy!! LOL So I'm not too sure what the shop will end up looking like, but I hope it will be warm in winter at least!! LOL Love ya too!!
I enjoy watching you figure out how to do the job the best way.
I know my views have dropped off of the workshop videos. I think it is because it has taken so long. 🥱Still it is what is happening. I try and add a few new things because quite frankly I don't like doing the boring stuff so why would anyone watch it.
Doesn't matter. I watch every one of yours that I can. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. 😁😎
How's she goin'? I hear ya Dave. Some projects we take on turn into pretty long jobs, especially with the limited time we have to spend on them. For me, I try and get 2 videos a week posted and my channel is basically about what goes on here around the camp, so this is what's going on. But like my grand mother used to say to me, "Too much of one thing is not good!!" LOL I enjoy watching you build, develop and organize your shop. I can see you have a plan and it takes a lot of time and shuffling to get that plan executed eh!! Your shop will be sweet though. But, like I'm finding out, the time between creating and having it all set up is a long rough road. Take 'er easy and hang in there!!
I enjoy the videos on shop upgrades. It's gonna be nice and all that hard work will be worth it. I hope Nannie is still improving and continued prayers for you both.
How's she goin'? Thanks for your prayers Ronnie. Nannie is improving. It's a long old road with many twists and pot holes, but she's got it in 4 wheel drive and won't give up!! LOL The shop will be a lot nicer in time. But looking down that road I see a lot of twists and pot holes in it too!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
