Rick had some insulation left over from his own workshop project (like two bundles... his workshop is the size of Fragwell Manor, swear to God) so he sold it to me for about half price. Turns out it's enough to cover like 80% of my shop.
At the moment, I'm over halfway done and destroying the big shelf. I'll use the wood for other things, but it's in the way now.
A few hours later and I'm done with the insulation now. The process was nowhere near as annoying as I had thought it would be, thanks to advances in fiberglass technology since the 1980s, I'm sure.
Equipped with my Graywhale CD Exchange hoodie I bought in 1999 but only wore for the first time this fall while replacing a hub module on my car, a filter mask and (occasionally) safety goggles, I managed to get the job done and come away from it without being all itchy.
By my calculations, I have over 300 sq ft of wall covered now and only another 120 sq ft left uninsulated. The rest will be done with foam sheets, I think.
In the process of putting things back in order without the shelving I used to have, I decided to change my target layout. Instead of my desk being at the back of the shed with my back to the door while working, it will be against the south wall so I don't have the sun bouncing off my displays during summer evenings.
