12x30 Workshop About To Become A Reality

I got 10 of the same lights to put in my shop. Let me know how you end up attaching them to the ceiling. 2 of mine came with 2x 1ft pcs of chain to hang them with but the others came with a cheap feeling plastic hanger that I won't be using. Kind of thinking about making up a thin strip of plywood and attaching maybe 2 or 3 lights to it then hanging the whole setup on the ceiling with screws so the lights aren't hanging down very far. Haven't decided yet. Looking forward to your progress.

I purchased one to try in our laundry room. I trimmed off the the tab that is designed for the chain connection. I then screwed the clip to the ceiling and snapped the light in. I seems to hold well, but not a 100% comfort level.
I have a couple ideas on how I might mount them in the workshop. I will post PIC's as I get to them.

My Grizzly G0513ANV Bandsaw arrived today.
I decided to stick with this model rather than upgrade to a 17" with more bells and whistles and a brake system or a 19" with the same upgraded options. To spend $500 to $900 more didn't add up for me. It is a one man shop and if the bandsaw blade takes 30 seconds to stop, so be it.

I am still unpacking it, but here are a couple of PIC's ..........

Got a couple thing started today.
Installed the 1st of 3 rows of R#) in the ceiling.
Installed the roll-up screen on the roll-up door opening.
Hooray, no more mosquitoes, hate them little buggers.

Sounds like you're having a ball there, Steve! I love building shops...keeping them clean is another story!

Keeping them clean, no one told me I had to keep it clean....... I might need to rethink this

Put that roll-up door up, and turn on the leaf blower.

Found some time today to get a little more done.
Added the rope pulls for the screen. That completes the screen and will make it better for working at night. NO MOSQUITOES
My son and I removed all of the factory conduit, lights and outlets.
Then we finished 1 more row of ceiling insulation.

Looking good...... Keep posting the pictures.

I started putting up the OSB today.
I had planned to start with the ceiling first.
But knowing the walls were a perfect 96 inches and the OSB being 95.75 inches, I realized that if I did the ceiling first, I would have to trim every wall panel. Not gonna happen
Walls will go up first and then the ceiling.

Coming along real nicely and looking great! Keep 'em coming

Good luck with the ceiling... I've been putting up 7/16 OSB on my 10 ft ceiling these last few days. Kinda slow going by myself but not horrible.
