Most of the guys on the Hobart board have seen these.

How is the shop insulated? I have an 800 sq ft metal shop here in Louisiana and need to get it a/c but must insulate. I have been told "spray" is the best. Anyone else got any thoughts?

Thanks To All

Nice set up Sberry I would get lost in that place. I would be interested in knowing about the insulation too. thanks

I have a standing seam roof and there are clips, standoff types thet keep from totally compressing the rolled fiberglass against the purlins. I think if I was to do it again,, and I might add yet I would go to 2 inch urethane foam board under the purlins. It would allow for ventalation between the insulation and the roof sheeting. For the most part I am happy with it and have ceiling fans to keep the heat down. My helper and I built the building,, complete except hired some help with sheeting and pouring the floor. Before I do more here I need a new equipment storage build,, maybe this summer. I am leaning towards a 60x120 on that. This one is 80x80 and if I had the dough I would have went to 100 long,, mainly just to get some more running wall space for tools.

I would spray the walls and drywall, then styro foam board the roof, and drop the ceiling to right below the truss line with a layer of pink, to create a air gap between the roof and ceiling.

Just an opinion,

I don't even know what it's like to drive a vehicle in the shop lately
My shop feels like that 5 lb bag with 10 lbs in it.

You need to post the close-ups of the welder on the service truck.

Yes Sberry, some of us from the Hobart forum have seen them, as well as us Ford Truck forum guys...But I still liked looking at them again
P.S. You do a great job of steering the welding questions on the truck forum. You always give them clear concise answers to their questions. Well done...

Thanks,
