But it turned out fantastic! You did a great job with it. Congratulations. Hope it sands up and stains nice. It's nice to have stuff you built yourself.

Anyone ever build a compressor shed off their garage? How did it turn out? Any tips?
I started building one off my detached to house a 60 gal compressor. Got the slab laid so far and now I'm giving it a couple weeks to cure before I drill it for anchors to build the walls up around the outside. My plan is to build a simple shed with r13 insulation, intake on the bottom and forced exhaust up high. Would it be worth it to insulate with Roxul instead of fiberglass batts for added acoustical dampening? It will have 2x4 walls but the shared wall with the garage will be insulated on both sides. I'm trying to keep the noise down within reason. https://imgur.com/Vmk71jb |

This seems pretty well thought out. if you are bolting it to the concrete make sure to put some sort or rubber bushing on the bolt to reduce vibration noise.

One thing to consider is that when you enclose it, it will get as hot as the hubs of Hades inside when it is running. Some sort of ventilation should be part of the design.

I thought adding a piece of wire shelving above my washer/dryer would be super easy, just a few holes in the masonry wall, run the screws in, check for level, done, right?
Nope, the brand new Bosch concrete/masonry bit won't do anything to the wall unless it's on hammer-drill, and that blows chunks out of the block wall so the screws have nothing to grab onto. On just drill, it sits and spins with very little progress made. Fffffuuuuu... |

You could get a significantly smaller bit? You might have to drill multiple pilot holes

That's what she said...
For the compressor housing I'm pretty sure just having it outside will be plenty quiet, standard insulation would work great. The biggest concern is sealing it off with proper airflow so animals (wasps) don't decide to make a home in there. As far as mounting, get some hockey pucks and drill holes in them. Or use some thick rubber mat. For my compressor I made up a 2x2 pallet, put a few sheets of foam on top then put another piece of 2x2 plywood with some lag bolts very loose so it kind of 'floats'. You can stand right next to it without feeling a thing. I also ran a remote drain hose so I don't have to get on my hands and knees to drain it. Since you have some extra room you may also want to look into a water trap/heat exchanger. I made one with about 8 feet of copper tubing zig zagged on the wall with the water trap at the lowest part. |

Those are going to look fabulous after a few months of mineral buildup.

The rubber foot mounts aren't the best. They always harden to the point they don't really work, and shortly afterwards they crumble into little pieces.
You have to replace them every couple of years. The spring type, or wire rope type isolators are much more effective and last much longer. But they are not $10 either. For sound insulation, the egg crate type foam works really well. Use contact cement to attach it to the walls and a few staples for good measure. Alternately, carpet padding is also great, and the foam type is fairly moisture resistant. Even old carpet works pretty well, and can be found for free. I recommend you also caulk all internal joints to make it as airtight as you can using a good exterior silicone caulk. When you make the intake vent, as was recommended, make sure it is insect proof. And baffle the intake so that the sound has to turn a lot of corners. A labyrinth style baffle is perfect. |

I hit Home Depot again for a kit of screws and plastic expansion anchor sleeves, which came with sized non-hammer-drill bits, hopefully those will do better. |

I'm a huge fan of a hand rail or two in a shower, you can buy nicer lever-actuated suction cup ones on Amazon, but screwed into a stud is much better. No one wants to bust their face or break a leg because they lathered up too much or tried to in the shower.

Johnny. Do you have floor plans of that? I am building a similar half wall. What is the length of it? Is the extra room a workout room or bedroom?
