SEVERAL PICTURES WILL LOAD UP
BELOW - FOR EASIER NAVIGATION WE HAVE ALL OF THE PICTURES ON ONE PAGE INSTEAD OF 6 SEPARATE PAGES TO RETURN TO DETAIL PAGE CLICK HERE THIS PICTURE ILLUSTRATES BACKING BEING INSTALLED IN THE WALLS FOR BENCH END SUPPORTS AND HEATER SUPPORT  IN THESE TWO PICTURES YOU CAN SEE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY LINES FOR THE WALL-MOUNTED LIGHT FIXTURE AS WELL AS THE HEATER LINE. THE BOX FOR THE HEATER MUST BE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEATER IF THE HEATER IS WALL-MOUNTED. TYPICALLY THE WALL LIGHT IS INSTALLED ABOVE THE LOWER BENCH 6"-8" DOWN FROM THE 7' CEILING. IN THE THIRD PICTURE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE BOX IS AFTER PANELING AND HEATER INSTALLATION.    AFTER WIRING, INSULATION, AND BLOCKING IT IS TIME FOR THE VAPOR BARRIER TO BE INSTALLED. BEGIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WALLS WORKING UP OVER LAPPING EACH SEAM. CEILING IS INSTALLED LAST OVERLAPPING THE WALL FOIL. AS AN ADDITIONAL STEP YOU CAN TAPE ALL SEAMS, TEARS, AND HOLES WITH REFLECTIVE FOIL TAPE (NOT INCLUDED IN PACKAGES).   NEXT STEP IS THEN TO BEGIN THE PANELING. INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS WILL SPECIFY ALSO THE ORDER IN WHICH THE PANELS MUST BE INSTALLED. THE CEILING IS INSTALLED FIRST. USE THE INCLUDED 5d GALVANIZED NAILS OR USE PNEUMATIC NAILS OR STAPLES TO ATTACH PANELS - STAPLES HOLD BEST. WE USE A SENCO SLS20 NARROW CROWN STAPLEGUN. AFTER THE CEILING IT IS THE BACK WALL, THEN THE SIDE WALLS, AND FINALLY THE DOOR AND THE DOOR WALLS.   THESE TWO PICTURES SHOW THE NEXT STEP AFTER PANELING AND BEFORE TRIM. THE PREDRILLED 2X3'S ARE FOR THE BENCH SUPPORTS. THE LONGER ONE IS FOR THE LOWER BENCH AND THE SHORTER ONE FOR THE UPPER BENCH. EACH BENCH END THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE WALL GETS A 2X3 - BENCHES THAT ATTACH TO OTHER BENCHES ARE SECURED WITH THE INCLUDED CARRIAGE BOLTS THROUGH THE PREDRILLED HOLES. AFTER THE BENCHES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED YOU CAN CUT IN THE CORNER MOULDINGS TO FIT.   AT THIS POINT YOU WOULD FINISH ALL OF THE TRIM, CASE THE DOOR, AND THEN INSTALL THE HEATER AND THE HEATER GUARD. THE LAST STEP IS THE HEATER WIRING. RUN THE ELECTRICAL WIRE INSIDE A VINYL- OR VINYL-COVERED CONDUIT TO THE HEATER. USE ALL EXTERIOR-GRADE CONNECTORS AND CONNECTIONS. THIS PART MUST BE DONE BY AN LICENSED ELECTRICIAN NOT TO VOID THE WARRANTY. THE FINAL PICTURE SHOWS THE FINISHED CUSTOM 5X8 PRECUT ROOM. IT WAS BUILT USING ALASKA YELLOW CEDAR, EXTRA WIDE BENCHES, TOPCLASS KV-80 STAINLESS STEEL HEATER, AND CUSTOM HEATER GUARD AND LIGHT FIXTURE COVER.   |
