February 2023
Started with:
2000 Sq Ft Pole Barn
The rough blueprint below - finished side for office - unfinished side for shop
An idea to make an awesome lab space for Rustic Security
A blank canvas...
March 2023
Moved into the unfinished side of the polebarn to be in the space and force myself to work myself into a finished space
Got with my friends Nick and Mike to help me with a material list
Starting Setup - it was better to have the garage door open so WiFi from my home could reach the shop (got that fixed with a mesh set up eventually)
May 2023
Materials delivered
Framing Started (first time I had ever used a nail gun!)
Late May - June 2023
Framing completed for office side
Floor joists installed for loft above
Electrical completed
Heat Pump Installed - finally got working HVAC!
Getting it framed - who says the top step of a ladder can't be used?
July 2023
Spray Foam Insulation - which really kept the heat out
August 2023
Drywall hung, mudded, and sanded
Moved into semi finished side of the shop
The temporary work setup until I get it finished.
To come in the next few months...
Lab Test Bench Install
Painting and Trim
Lab side install of EV Charger
