Neat! Moose are cool to look at right up until you are looking at it impacting your grill.

And because I went 6/12 instead of 12/12 I could have gotten away with 8’ panels instead of 10’. |

Last of the roofing panels on and insulation finally unloaded. Big steps.

It’s been raining again. Annoying. Got 3/4 of the Tyvek up and doing windows today. Hoping to do the siding this weekend then I can focus on finishing the inside.

Nice work! Funny how the Tyvek had advertisements printed all over it.

Making progress man. Get the puppy sealed up before bad weather and you can work inside at your leisure.

It’s happening! Clear and cold this morning but might get the siding done!

Got excited and finally got to install the first radio thing on the shack. This will be the coax entrance for station #2.

Is that the DXE utility box? I think mine is the same one.
On the inside, you have that right angle grey piece. I assume your coax is able to make such a sharp bend. Is there coax that can handle legal limit that is so flexible? |

Don't confuse where I live with where I'm from.

It is the DXE enclosure, I have another one as well. According to the spec sheet, Times Microwave LMR 400 has a minimum bend radius of 1 inch. The 1.5" LB's on the inside allow for at least that.

I am using ABR 2213A and I don't think it would bend so sharply, but much to my surprise the data sheet on ABR's site doesn't list a radius spec. Mine just comes out of the wall and I allow it to have fairly gentle curves. |

That is one way to avoid the suck of hanging and finishing drywall.

With all that insulation the only heater needed will be inside
a 3-500Z or two. |

A diesel heater would probably keep it really toasty in there.

Picked up a single sheet of 3/4” sanded Douglas Fir to see how it’d work for the walls. Good enough. Ordered 10 more sheets.

Why not more tongue and groove on the walls?

Too much T&G is… too much. The rest of the walls are mostly going to have furniture, posters, monitors and radios, so I just need a solid mounting surface. |

Getting the Membrain on the walls today. Should be ready to put up plywood tomorrow.

Looks good! Personally, I'd paint the plywood a light color. Not necessarily
white, but tan or grey. The solid color will be less "busy" even though most will be covered with monitors, posters etc.. |

Making some wall progress today. Takes forever to cut out the holes nicely, but worth it.
