Great progress, Stan. That extra few feet really makes a difference.
Will your drywall lift reach the ceiling?That's one of the biggest sources of heartburn on my building. The highest part of the ceiling in the high bay where the lift will be is 23 feet. I'll probably have to rent a scissors lift to drywall it.

I purposely bought the 15ft extension for my lift making it capable of reaching my 12ft ceiling.
Tomorrow morning I'm headed out to Lima Ohio to pick up a couple of 5ft long hoods to mount over my welding table. That should help with the welding & grinding mess.

Looking good Stan.
I'll bet it's quite an echo chamber as it sits.

Has all the equipment shoved up together in the east end so no echo. If it was empty that would be a different story. Sure will be glad when it's finished in more ways than one.
Once the east wall and roof are done I'll need to find someone with a concrete saw to cut holes for the foundation for the car lift as it needs to be at least a foot deep.

Insulating the roof is so much fun, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brother my back hurts. I've spent multiple nights in my recliner with a heating pad on my back. I'm not telling my Pain Management Doc what I'm doing as I'm sure she'd have a fit. I'm reusing as much of the old insulation as possible. Having to make multiple repairs on the facing prior to installation. I'm also sure I'm getting in my 10K steps/day with the multiple trips up & down the ladder.
To keep the insulation in place I'm using red rosin under layment paper and lath screwed into the trusses to keep the paper from pulling loose. I was tempted to throw away all the old insulation until I price checked it at Menards, the cheapest local big box store. $20/roll of the 23" wide R-13 insulation. Way higher than the $8/roll I paid for the 15" wide version.

Not to mention up and down the ladder is hard on the hamstrings!
When we did mine, we drywalled the ceiling, put in an opening with walls around it and blew in about 2 feet of insulation.

I want to keep the trusses open so I can use them for storage. Here in KY R-13 insulation for the roof is plenty. On the few occasions it snows, the snow remained on the roof until the outside temp increased to above freezing. I'd also have to box in my skylights and that would be a PITA.
