Our Future Store

 So far it has been such a rewarding experience. The past few months I've been a contractor, carpenter, drywall installer, HVAC installer, and painter. Progress has been steady. I work at my own pace, it helps to be retired. Below is a series of pictures showing the progress.

Although I've done drywall on a small scale in the past, this was challenging. For instance the ceiling, ugh! Not one of my favorite things to do. I don't do angles well. Some how I made it work though. When the building was delivered it had a limited amount of rafters to install the drywall on. So I had to add a few. My first challenge of the build. Determined, I was able to complete.

After I had the insulation sprayed in from a local company it was time to start the drywall. Not as young as I used to be. Luckily the local tool rental place had a drywall hoist.

Wasn't sure how this would turn out, as my first choice was going to be shiplap. But a home center kind of dropped the ball on that and had to do drywall.

Finally done. Well, except the far ends. Those were completed later. 

Yes! I installed my split unit. With the help of my electrician Andrew I now have heat and air conditioning. Pretty cool unit!

Oh joy [not]! Drywall taping. Not one of my favorite jobs to do. Couldn't wait for this to be done.

Primed and paint done! I'm very happy with the results thus far. Now Andrew can complete the electrical by installing the L.E.D. lights, switches and outlets, and then I can install the ceiling fan.

The cross beams which are just 2x4's that are currently visible is my next project. I've been researching faux beam construction and that's what I'm going to do. so stay tuned!
