Hold on…… you’re a marine builder.
You have CPES at work. Use that.


Edit: that’s Clear Penetrating epoxy sealer for those only mildly interested in this

We don't use that. Different type of marine construction. We do use a little fiberglass but I asked my fiberglass guy about using resin and he didn't think it would work.

I’ve used the CPES on railroad ties to frame out a doorway for a man cave that was railroad themed.
That’s been 20 years ago but it absolutely sealed in the smell

@InVOLuntary have you seen that monster widget they launched today at Sunset Marina on DH? It’s like 120x20

I saw it on Facebook. Did they get it launched. We've used that ramp and fell off. Had to get a wrecker to get our trailer out. We have one of our larger ones, 19X87 going to Dale Hollow in a couple of months. Not sure what we're going to do.

If it were me…..I would want to avoid disturbing those logs in any way. Without pictures to have a better idea of the space, I’m thinking I’d likely use Zip exterior sheathing on the inside wall and ceiling. Tape and seal it all in and then cover that with Sheetrock. When Zip is done correctly you have to manually move air to avoid running out of oxygen inside the structure as you breathe. I **** you not, it’s that tight.
Hit me with some pics and I will ponder on it some more.

@InVOLuntary

This is good advice for sure, and I am sure the other stuff he recommended for sealant is as well. The Zip system is truly airtight and easy to install...just sheeting normally with plywood and then taping the seams with Ziptape. Ziptape is THE best tape on earth. Its stickier than even the most expensive self adhesive flashings and its strong. Its so sticky that if you're new to using it and it gets stuck to your fingertips a few times, they are raw because it's removing layers of skin. Awesome stuff. Regular 4in tape for flat seams is about $25 a roll but they go a long way. I keep a roll of Ziptape in my vehicle and 1 at the house because its good for a lot of things besides its intended purpose. Basically anything you would think about duct taping can be done much better with Ziptape. You can buy the tape at Lowes, but I don't know if they stock the sheets? Lumber yards will have them if not. Site photos from my 1st apartment complex almost 15 years ago were actually featured on their website, which is pretty cool.

On a side note, that T1-11 bead board is really good stuff. A guy that I go to church with builds really nice storage sheds for a living, and he uses that stuff on them. I have seen them sit unpainted for a few years and that board not warp, rot, etc. With a good coat of paint on it and upkeep I bet it would last forever. I think there are some imposters that make product that looks just like the T1-11...there used to be anyway...but it wasn't made the same and would rot. The real stuff is really good though for sheds, barns etc if installed properly. Anyway, good luck bud. Sounds like you are on the right track.

That's true, but NIL is in a fantasy league all of its own. Supposedly it was to be payment for profits stemming from the use of a player's name, image, or likeness. Their NIL was supposedly something that related to exceptional ability in the game (a jersey with a proven, hot QB name and number is going to sell in larger quantities than a player walking up and down the sidelines). In practice NIL is nothing at all like that; it's simply morphed into the old thing of legalizing under the table payments to induce the best players to play at a school. Put it this way, incoming players have actually done nothing at the collegiate level to earn NIL pay - and certainly not to the tune of millions. This has become buying players (the old fashioned way) in a semi-legal way.

Worst part is that with the portal, the players can essentially blackmail teams and there are no caps or limits. OH State just showed what a lot of money can buy; I can't see why any of us would want that in an "amateur" sport. The other thing is that the related roster limits kill the chances for walk-on players - there's no way that is a positive outcome.

a lot of the big name players get NIL deals in high school before they commit anywhere

they are getting paid for their name, image, and likeness. as long as they are somewhat famous or marketable they will have NIL regardless of performance on the field.

heck even the NFL drafts on hype. Matt Cassell got drafted and never really started. his total career stats were 20/33 192 yards and 1 int.

and it just follows what the labor market in the real world is doing. its not uncommon for companies to hire new people with less experience for more money than what they are paying someone already at their company.

Actually, take your guns and ammo out of your truck. Thieves target trucks looking for weapons. They're still gonna bust in your windows but they won't get anything dangerous...except for the High Karate cologne you keep in the cab.

I’m here with two other families and the dads are both former Marines. Guns are in the house…. I think we’ll be ok😁.
Last year we stayed over near the airport and the coach’s car window and several other cars were broken into

Y'all may need to put someone else in charge of accommodations.

The only time I've ever had my car broken into was in Centennial Park in Nashville about 45 years ago....

Agreed…. These big volleyball tourneys have “stay to play” arrangements with area hotels. I’m not sure which one he was at, but where we stayed had a fenced in parking lot and we didn’t have any issues.
It was a janky looking area though.
We stayed at the Omni for this particular tourney last year, but it was booked.
