dave w October 19, 2014 October 19, 2014 I like your building. Those look like clerestory (spell?) windows to let in lots of light but keep prying eyes from seeing what you're up to. Great idea if that's what you're doing.
Coral Hind October 19, 2014 October 19, 2014 I don't think those are going to remain windows as there is no header over them. I think they just haven't added on OSB yet to those areas. I do agree with you that they would let more light in if those were windows. Sky lights or solar tubes might be a good idea too.
dandy7200 October 20, 2014 Author October 20, 2014 They are clerestory windows! Although I usually call them eave lights as it is easier to spell They actually don't need headers since they go all the way to the top plate, there are three 5x5 windows on that wall as well that do have headers. We have made a lot of progress, I will try and update with some photos tonight.
DuffyGeos October 24, 2014 October 24, 2014 I assume it got sprayed. What is the ceiling and what are those tracks? Are those Big A$$ Fans...(really that is the name of the company).
DuffyGeos October 24, 2014 October 24, 2014 Ha,Ha, Ha!!!! You can go as Casper the ghost for Halloween, or you have the start to a really good Ebola protection suit. Doesn't look like you followed the OSHA eye protection recommendations :laugh:
dandy7200 October 24, 2014 Author October 24, 2014 40 gallons of primer and 30 gallons of paint. All the interior sheeting is OSB so it really soaked it up. The tracks are t-8 fluorescent lights. There are 5 rows of 4 foot lights all wired in series (something like 90 lights and 30 ballast), luckily Justin came out and helped me get those done because it was a serious job. The fans are not "brand" name big a$$ but they are 8' hvls fans made by Hunter, they work really well.
dandy7200 October 24, 2014 Author October 24, 2014 I tried the eye protection but I couldn't take it! I did wear the mask the whole time though as I was using oil based so not to raise the chips on the OSB.

Those fans look like they will move some air, nice addition.

dandy7200 November 4, 2014 Author November 4, 2014 So without doubt, the most labor intensive part of this whole project for me has been the epoxy floor coating. Wash, rinse, repeat. 20 hours of diamond grinding, wash rinse repeat. Wash again, dry, vacuum. Sweep, vacuum, repeat. You get the idea But...... Last few weeks have seen some late nights.... But!!! We got our final today!!!! So, one more coat of epoxy on the floor and then moving time
ArtFully Acrylic (Adam B) November 4, 2014 November 4, 2014 Awesome guys!! Steve is VERY familiar with your pain diamond grinding the floor . Ours took 11 hours to grind for a MUCH smaller space hahahahaha. But we had glue from prior carpet to also bulldoze through. I definitely remember how dust covered everything got from that darned process. But your floor looks SUPERB! And I can't believe how quickly you guys got that place up and running!! Congrats on the final approval!!
dave w November 4, 2014 November 4, 2014 Wow you guys sure moved fast! Your epoxy floor will make maintenance a lot easier in the long run. Very smart.
Origami November 4, 2014 November 4, 2014 Where are all the colored flecks that make it beautiful? Gray. It looks so... industrial. Seriously, guys. Good work. Congratulations on putting this together so quickly. WAMAS is proud to have been with you throughout this journey of yours.

Congratulations on putting this together so quickly. WAMAS is proud to have been with you throughout this journey of yours. I make it beautiful, not some flecks Seriously, imagine dropping a #6-32 x 1/2" screw that you really need on the floor, flecks are not going to help get that ATO buttoned up and on the shelf Gray, well, when you need 24 gallons of epoxy tomorrow you take the color Sherwin Williams has on the shelf. Floor coating was kind of a last minute decision, we just happened to have a window of 2 weeks open up between building essentially being done and power company being able to hook us up to the grid.
