WellHaus Barn Door is Hung!!!!!

I finally got the WellHaus Barn Door hung!!!! This has been a loooooooooong time coming and it feels great to see some achievement on this part of the project!!!! We're detailing out the casing design to creating a secure locking device with minimal air gaps. If you noticed the R-MAX ThermaSheath-3 shining on both sides of the door, your looking at the continuous insulation (CI) over the CDX plywood sheathing. While we will be going for R-6 in future builds, the R-3 will help act as a wind rain barrier (WRB) as well as a thermal break. This is essential for reducing thermal transfer through the framing system of the building. After we add some mineral insulation we should have R-23 in the walls (since we build with 2x6 exterior walls) and the R-3 Sheathing just like we did the roof and ceiling. This should give us some great thermal resistance along with some quality noise absorption. 

Magnetic Sewing Pin Holder

Got a little crafty for Valentines Day, yes I consider it a made up holiday but still, I thought she would appreciate something useful. I usually get potted perennials that we can put outside but as we have flower bulbs still in their package on the porch from September I'll forego the tradition!



Things I would have done differently,



A wider piece of metal. I don't write in cursive except in french and realized quickly that the piece of flat stock was very narrow. Also, I didn't even try to practice first and I haven't busted out the welder in awhile.  Also, I need to put gas on it, the flux core is so spitty. And that role was very old, thank goodness it ran out early, the new roll was far smoother. Check out the video and subscribe, comment, or suggest!!!
