Looks like they did a good job. How thick is it?, kind of hard to tell from the photo.

[Sir Henry]

Should be pretty easy to heat if you decide you want to. Looks good!

The chimney is there so I can heat it. In the summer the sun gets it hot like an oven. I’m told it’s best for keeping it cool although like you say I can heat it also.

Yes, even the thin insulation I used in mine helped with the heat. It still gets hot but not like before when it was like an oven. I very rarely heat mine but if I do a couple of space heaters will at least warm it up a little.

I’ll most let likely heat it only when it’s warmer than the teens. When it -25F I’m staying in the house

And I thought your building was bright with the windows and the lightning. With the added insulation my lighting envy has increased.

My lights are at the recommended level for an office. The difference between enough and not enough was so close that I paid the extra bucks to get what I wanted. All the LED’s were about $350 but will outlive me.

[Sir Henry]

I bought a Fisher Grampa Bear wood burning stove for my shop. I picked it up yesterday and got home about 11 pm after a 1,500 mile round trip. My neighbor went with me and we spent two nights visiting her grandkids along the way. She is 99 years old and I call her mom.

I’m sure getting a lot of use out of my new trailer.

It’s a classic design from the 70’s. Many have stolen the Fisher design because it’s known for not smoking when the doors are open. I also have the screeen so it can be used as a fireplace.

Mine has the rear chimney so it can be installed in a brick fireplace. Mine will be freestanding in the middle of the room. They also make a top exit chimney which I could have used. The rear chimney makes a better cook stove.

I off loaded the stove and put it into place. I still need to get the inside metal chimney.

Winter is approaching fast.

[Sir Henry]

I also unboxed the metal cabinets. They are actually more like storage bins.

These two will be mounted on the wall.

Those look like some nice bins. You look to be adding plywood wainscot to your shop walls?

The plywood is on the bottom four feet to protect the foam from being banged around. Above that to the top of the windows will be pegboard. Then above that about three feet of car license plates.

[Sir Henry]

I added more plywood today. It took two of us five hours to add three cut up partial panels. But it was the hardest part. When I had the wiring done the electrician allowed enough flex that I could put 1/2” plywood behind the panels and switches.

I think it really looks nice.

[Hatchdog]

Looks great and what a great idea to protect the foam.

[Sir Henry]

Thanks. I put up three panels of pegboard today.

I’ll put license plates above the windows and pegboard.

[BrokenolMarine]

It's looking great. I have a small collection of plates myself that was in my old shop. I haven't figured out where or how to mount them yet. I am about to open up The wall between the woodshop and boathouse to double the size of the workshop. The boats were moved to one of the barns. Need more room.

Is that Fisher stove from Factoryville Pa,?

The stoves where made of heavy steel and were made in many locations. The doors are cast iron and all doors were made in Oregon.

It's good to see an old Fisher get new life. Here stoves older than 1994 are illegal. Grandfathered if you still have one, but have to be removed and scraped/recycled before you can sell your property.

Wow! Here a stove built in 94 would be considered new. It’s one of the reasons chose Wisconsin and in particular Price County. The building codes are few and far between. I paid $50 for a building permit to build whatever I can for one year with no inspections.
