[Hello]

My neighbor is literally shoveling the snow/ice off the street. He is clearly bored.

 

[BreezyBrew]

Drinking coke zero.

Just found out I'm going to Lewiston, ID for work in the next few months. Anyone know if there are any ski areas near by? Spokane is about 2 hours North.

 

[Psylocide]

Wife decided to take the day off and said she is going to clean the kitchen since my plans got canceled. Now I can race home and start making beer after work! Haven't done a PM batch in a while, excited and nervous especially after my last beer attempt. Head is swimming with stuff I've read on processes.

On water, amped up.

Giddy is the word you're looking for.

[Qhrumphf]

Drinking an Imperial IPA after work. So much lemon and lime it's incredible.

I wanted to brew today but of course i never get off for the snow.

[Hello]

More water. I have a headache. I think I'll have a beer soon...against my better judgement about not drinking today.


Anyway, I could start a thread on this but I think it may be a silly question. I intended to put a 5' long brew table on the 8' wall of my shed. The walls were supposed to be 8' high, but they're 7'. No way to change that. If I put the wall on the 8' side with the window (closest to the electrical box) then is it silly to basically block the window with what will probably be half of the mash tun and half of the BK? I think I'm more of less thinking about safety. I was going to put blinds on the window and still can if I want, but I wasn't sure if it was a bad idea somehow.

The window sill is 42" from the ground. The alternative is I was thinking of an L-shaped brew table in the left corner as pictured.


I need to keep my control panel and sub panel on the rear of the building and it is preferred (also probably what I'm priced for) to keep it near the corner closest to the house, which is the left corner if you're looking on at the window.

 

[TheCADJockey]

If you are building your own tables I would make one into the corner. I wouldn't worry about safety as far as blocking that window goes unless it is against Code in your area. I couldn't imagine so with it being that near to the door. Code aside, you may be happier installing a corner table just to have access to the window for ventilation or whatever. It looks way too hot outside in that picture for the windows to be closed as it is.

It will be insulated/drywalled eventually yeah?

 

[Hello]

I change my own oil for the time savings/convenience. Only takes 45min including prep and cleanup to do both cars

Just spent my lunch break shoveling and taking the boys sledding in the backyard. I LOVE the snow

Water with lunch

LOL it was 40F there when I took the photo. But I see your point.
The table will actually go like this if I leave it in the corner:

Holy Crikies! I didn't realize you were THAT involved with your "shed"! Impressive! Regarding drinking my beer, if it's kegged there...I can't drink 5 gallons of beer fast enough to drink it all fresh...and I know very few people that drink around here, so you would be better able to spread it around for feedback!

On Coke Cherry Zero.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Water. 5+ hours left. Why did I offer to stay late today and help out?

 

[TheCADJockey]

There is no overhang on your roof !?? OMG weeeird... :cross:

After seeing your dimensions, I think the corner table is definitely your best option. Just curious what type of drywall you will use or if you've considered that at all.

5/8" fire rated sheetrock maybe with FRP wall board?

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Lunch with a soda. Another manic Monday.. uuhhh... Tuesday

 

[wobrien]

Thanks @allenh !

Nah...Corning R19 insulation, baffles up in rafter cavities, just standard finish sheetrock, mudding, and priming ready for painting. I'll be using semi-gloss paint so it is easily cleaned. I may install tile one day, but more than likely, I won't. There is an option for these tile boards that I saw. I may consider that as well. I'll have the window, the door, and a 440CFM vent fan that has only one bend and less than 3' of ducting. So it'll work very well.

Firerated and all that seems overkill. The L shape table felt like a good option instead of fighting with my pots to open the window and such. I could put the table on the 10' wall, but that left me only 3.5 feet between the table and the sink, while not a huge issue, I think I'll have more brew space doing an L table.

@mattmmille, when it is done, you have to come brew with me...as long as the Mrs is okay with that.

More water.

HB IIPA View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1424204009.264271.jpg treating this snow day like a Sunday. Should be finished soon ...

 

[Hello]

Sample of my India Red Ale. It is not as red as the first batch I brewed. It won't likely be one I send off to NHC. Either way, it is tasty but sure did finish low, 1.004.

 

[smurfjuice]

I see you're in Mass, though. Can you get Spencer Trappist? Maybe we can work something out.

Appropriate for what I'm about to bottle:

Mr. G. are you still up for a trade?? latched onto 2 Spencer's Trappist today ...

 

[TheCADJockey]

No that's cool, was just wondering is all. Once I have property of my own I'll build a SIP shed with the FRP wall board interior so just curious as to what other people do. There are a lot of options for tiling, just always easier to do it early in your build. I use an extremely cheap laminate tile for the bathroom in the apartment I rent out. It has an adhesive on the back of each tile and can be laid quickly. As well as easily replaced if damaged.

Looks good, can't wait to see more pictures.

You tiled a wall with laminate? Do you have a link to that product?

No no not a wall, I do the bathroom floors with it since it is cheap, quick and easy.

Oh yeah, I intend to use vinyl flooring because I'll be adding some form of pluming an drainage, plus it is easy to clean and such. It's a floating floor actually. It's weird but cool. The flooring is the cheapest part of the project.

 

[Hello]

Beer....electrician just came by...work is delayed until at least next Monday...again.
