@OZ-T damn dude, I've been looking at your posts for years and seriously appreciate the craftsmanship you always post. I'm ironworker by trade myself. From one craftsmen to another just wanted to give you some props

 

The XPS is over top of T&G boards (which is the sheathing), the XPS is 2" thick T&G.
I was intending on the XPS being the air barrier yes

 

I was thinking the same thing. Down here we often do the air barrier over the rigid.

 

the styrofoam becomes the air barrier when correctly detailed

 

Took delivery of 2 pairs of these bad boys yesterday too

 

Got a question for those up north with experience about wood stoves.
I’m wiring my barndominium right now and was wondering about clearance from a receptacle. I’d like to pull a receptacle in corner where we plan on a wood stove in case I need it.
Thanks

 

I don't think the receptacle would be considered any differently than any other combustible as far as clearances

 

Thanks
I found one site website that showed the wood stove can have as much as 3’ clearance so I’m dropping a receptacle on back wall of location

 

woodstoves have a min clearance , they can have any greater clearance than that , like you could put it out in the middle of the room if you wanted , not sure I'm following

 

Then I may have read it as a minimum
Not too many wood stoves down here and hard to find info when all I have is phone

 

most new ones can be 9"-12" off back wall combustibles

 

Thanks

 

Just look up the model of stove's install instructions. That will have the manufacturer's minimum clearance for that stove. They can very a lot depending on the type of stove.

 

Thanks
That’s where I’m seeing different measurements

 

Haven’t bought wood stove yet when I don’t even have power yet

 

how big is the space to be heated ?

 

My Saturday.

 

Looks great! I feel your pain...

 

Need some opinions and not sure where to post this. And it will be a home upgrade so I think it fits.

I’m looking for a 12x24 wooden shed do store my four wheeler and lawn mower and bullshit in. I’ve called everybody I can find within 100 miles from me for prices. Cheapest I’ve gotten was 4200$ delivered and set up. Then I found this guy. 3300$ painted to match my house set up and delivered, but doesn’t include the entrance ramp which is fine I can build one myself. What I want to know is does this look like quality. It’s just an example it will be painted black and white when it’s delivered. what do you guys think? I know it’s hard to look at pics and see quality but what’s your thoughts? Thanks guys
