Not giving you a hard time, you clearly know something I don't. Insulated, temp controlled exhaust fan for the summer and a big screen tv are the current plans.

Moisture is no more or less a problem in your outbuilding than it is in a garage. Primarily happens when we come out of one of our winter cold spells in late winter/early spring and the temps rise--consequently the %RH (dew point, if you want) goes up--and the moisture condenses on anything cooler than the ambient air temperature, i.e., your bike surfaces sitting in a cold garage/shed. Exact same thing happens when you open your freezer on a warm humid day. If you have any kind of environmental control (heat/dehumidifier) to prevent this, not a problem, and you only have to either keep things just a bit warmer or a bit drier than ambient--doesn't have to be 70*F. Only reason to insulate is if you plan to heat. I usually drag my bikes into the basement where it's warmer and drier than my unheated garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably beat some of that with the fan. It will kick in based on heat or humidity. I will keep an eye on it. I can easily add a small space heater if it happens. Insulating the ceiling to keep heat out. Insulating the walls because I will drywall it, so I might as well insulate it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted September 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Electrician picked today, they will start work tomorrow. May take a bit, I am having the main electrical box replaced because it is from a company that went out of business due to fires. That was not an upsell from the electrician, it was my request. He said yes, I have replaced 5 or 6 of these that caught on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted September 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Next, insulate the ceiling. Walls are onhold until after the city inspection. Also need to add some more vents in the front so the fan can pull more air. Edited September 9, 2022 by Tonik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tonik Posted September 10, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Ceiling insulation is in. It dropped the afternoon interior temp by a solid 15 degrees. Next, a dime patterned heavy vinyl floor. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to miss rolling in, tapping the horn and the wife hitting the button in the house for the garage. I got android auto on the bike, I could text here as I get close I suppose.

Popular Post Tonik Posted October 1, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Ok, it is ready for tours. Got the floor in today. Done until spring when I may drywall it except for adding a plate for the centerstand. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) I got a 10x10 section of the flooring left over if anyone wants it. Decided to keep the extra in the rafters of the garage in case I mess up the shed... then I can patch it.

mello dude Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Idea,suggestion....build a workbench and attach it directly to the studs while they are still exposed. Mount a good vise to the workbench, on the left if you're left-handed, on the right if you're right handed.
