To insulate the office floors, they install firring strips, 1.5-inch XPS foam, and OSB subflooring, sealing gaps with spray foam to prevent condensation.3:03 For the walls and ceiling, they install faux shiplap paneling using a drywall hoist and construction adhesive.8:38 A solid-core pre-hung door separates the workshop from the office, with shims used to ensure the frame is plumb before securing it with 3-inch screws.12:48 Mads runs electrical wiring through EMT conduit for an industrial aesthetic, while Ava finishes the interior with paint.14:21 The project concludes with the installation of luxury vinyl plank flooring.16:43 The build utilizes a WaterSaw, a foldable tool compatible with standard reciprocating saw blades, for cutting foam and other materials.18:49
