That thing is long!

Bathroom is getting there. The paint didn't look quite as green at Lowe's oops.

Can't wait to surprise my wife with one of those early 90s nearly naked swimsuit calendars on the back wall here soon. The boys will LOVE it even if she doesn't. Lots of fond memories going to my uncle's truck shop and the machine shop admiring their bathroom decor. Can't let my boys miss out 🤣

Looking for some thoughts on insulation. When I was building my shop, I got quotes for spray foam ($7500 for just the ceiling) and fiberglass with metal siding for a ceiling ($5000). I was tired of spending money (broke) and decided to stay the course and just put up the double bubble foil backed.

Heat gain isn't terrible, but I'd like a little more help in the ceiling. How terrible would it be to put this ag board (1-1/2 polyiso) and paint it with white latex paint? The Internet says the laytex will adhere to the foam board. Found some for $15/20ft sheet so the price point is right on.

That’s a great price, I’d runnit! I also wouldn’t even paint it, but whatever floats your shop.
 
I just realized I never posted finished bathroom pics. I still have a little trim paint touch up and paint on the vanity (neither of which I'll likely do).

Homemade septic system is holding up well. Had my son's 6th birthday party here a few weeks back and with a gazillion people using the toilet no turds were floating in the yard.
