I'd highly recommend that u look into wetwall panels if u can get them over there. Very popular over here in the uk as its durable and easy to clean. Would be much better than plasterboard imo.

Best of luck. After you settle in, I want to send you some cool rocks I found. (-:

Thanks!

I am so happy that everything worked out for you guys and southern utah, is such an amazing place! You have some of the best landscapes, in the country, as far as im concerned! And the geology of the state is so varied, you pretty much have your pick of whatever you want to hound! And talk about fossils! You have the best kind of fossils to study there! Dinosaur fossils pretty much are the pinnacle of the fossil world! Lol! And i put my recommendation for wall covering for the shop under the persons original comment, because it really is the best suggestion. FRP really is the best way to go. Great SNS, as usual, And im just sure that you will have utah mapped out as to what type of rock can legally be found where, in no time! There is a whole new world of rocks, open to you now! And seriously, find a dinosaur! Or any related bone from one, and i would just die the happiest person ever! Lol! Thanks Jared! Missed you guys!

Yes I guessed right Utah!! New areas to explore and find Nature's treasures. Hope you settle in quickly and love your new digs!!

So sad that yall left Spokane, you will both be missed in our crazy rock community here!

You have your work cut out for you. Your dream shop will be awsome no matter what you do to it. Are you leaving you cars outside in the snow and ice? It's always fun to learn about a new place. Keep the dream alive and have fun whole doing it. 😷⚒

How about polishing the back side of that rock 🪨 I'm thinking it could show its true colors.

Well take that rock home and cut it and polish it I think you have a good chance of the blue showing it's colors.

Do you ever let dog do any running when your looking for rocks.

So pumped you’re here 😆 you’re gonna love the diversity of the geology here, and how wild Utah still is from the central to southern part. You guys closer to Cedar City than St. George I take it? If so good choice 👌🏻 we are all excited to see more Utah rockhounding videos. Congrats!

Been there many times, thanks for footage

Congratulations on the new place hope you guys settle in soon! You had a video about a couple months ago about the Chicago electric Harbor Frieght double 3 pound tumblers, and they were out of them for a while, but they have offered a new very similar product for about the same price just to let your viewers know that it is available now

So much rockhounding in Utah. You should check out the Utah interactive geology map: geology.utah.gov It may be the best online Geology map available... Just look for J and K layers and you are in the right place for some great finds...IMO

Insulation of all walls is important, ( ceiling too if not already ) so glad you have it. I like the wood walls in your high intensity use areas. It gives you flexibility and many options for what you will have in that area, which can change as your vision and use changes. I am sure you know the value of a good reliable heat source ( and lighting ) .They are so important. Have fun designing and using your shop. FKS

You're a true visionary! _ "Success is built on diligence.."

Some Pine plywood has a nice pattern to it. It can be stained, whitewashed or painted. Lowes has "15/32-in x 4-ft x 8-ft Southern Pine Sanded Plywood" for $51/sheet. Very durable. Don't throw away your shovel, Cedar City has 51.7 inches of snowfall per year. Looking forward to the many new adventures in the Inter Mountain West.

Congrats on moving to Utah! It's always been one of my favorite States in the West. Utah's portion of the Colorado Plateau province, and especially southeastern UT, is my idea of a wonderland that has no equal anywhere else. Enjoy your new home!

Congrats on the move. Sounds like it is a great place to settle. Have you thought about plastic or laminate paneling for any of the walls? Even if you use plywood...it might be nice to paint it a gray tone to go with the floors. I know it's just a shop but it can also be a place that makes you excited to work in. 😊

Slab your 1700 lbs of rock n cover the walls with them

Look into thin cut stone for the walls, put on cement board and install with latycreete mortar everything about rocks

Welcome to Utah!

All the best to you and Sarah in your new home. Keep the drywall and give yourself an extra layer of insulation.

I have a cat sanctuary and have habitats that the walls needed to be waterproofed and easy to clean. We used a rubberized floor paint on luan plywood walls in one of the habitats. It has worked very well. The walls still look good after nearly 15 years of cat use. And no deterioration of the luan underneath. It may be possible to use the rubberized floor paint on your drywall walls or plywood if you go that route. Also possibly floor vinyl could be used behind your lapidary equipment. We have used that as well but the floor paint was easier to apply and looks better. Good luck with your project.

Might try tile. As a bench cover and/or back splash. You can get 18"'X18" tiles. If you go with a glossy white, it would help reflect light. Tile is durable and easy to keep clean

Welcome to Utah!!

There is no humidity in southern Utah.

Welcome to Utah!

Mud and paint the walls maintenance white, it's a moisture barrier and reflects more light per watt. You'll save money and time that could be used for other elements. That's a lot of room for a dream shop, drawing the layout and testing options for optimal workflow can help with deciding where everything goes. I could see a central benchtop in there, but you'll know what's best for your purposes. I'm a design geek so making the most of every square foot is a biggie for me. I love a blank slate like you have there.

Congrats first of all. Can't wait to see the content.

If you can afford it plywood over the drywall is my choice . thanks for sharing , moving to another state is a big deal , We didn't know how much stuff we had till ya start loading . lol

Welcome to UTAH! I live in Orem, up North, very close to the rock shop you visited. Can't wait until you start Utah Adventures! My favorite places are around Delta!

Hurray! On all accounts. Really Great news!😊

The climate in Utah is so nice. Hope you guys make great memories on your new adventures. I feel a rockhounding book coming from you in the future.😉

I first thought ship-lap cedar for the walls, but I think your idea of plywood might be a better option. Finish it with a waterproof coating for moisture and it would be able to support whatever shelving you needed. Heaver items would need to be screwed through to the studs.

No reason to tear out the existing drywall as you already have insulation. As Joel mentioned, FRP would be great. 4' high wainscoting, patch and paint above and the ceiling. Wire and plumb inside the walls first, then put the FRP over the top. Or FRP first and run wiring in conduit. I wouldn't run PEX outside the walls, however convenient it might be. Easily damaged, and possibly not permitted by building code. My first priorities would be power, lights, and a sink with a nice drain board. No LEDs if at all possible; I hate those things! SCOTUS just ruled that the Chevron Doctrine, the case that said regulatory agencies could just make up new rules at will, is unconstitutional. This means that in the future we may not be forced to use LED bulbs! At any rate, use fixtures that accept standard lightbulb bases. I hear that incandescent bulbs can also be ordered from overseas...

Is there a school that's big enough to have a geology dept.? If so try to meet up with some geos and geek out on local structure.

Alkyd paint on the shop walls, it is amazingly tough and in white it can reflect very well and make the entire shop look more evenly lit. Have fun.

Drywall can be patched easily when it gets damaged. Except in wet areas.

T&G plywood 4 ft up from the floor,so no furring strip needed. Peg board to the ceiling for hanging everything. both can be painted,I'm half way there. There is a Southern Utah/Nevada rock club.

You have to start a resin slab wall! Now is the time to do it. Could you imagine at least one side of the wall made from slabbed agate, pet.wood, Jasper etc...

Very nice!!! Congratulations!!!

As you were speaking, I was thinking plywood. It will allow you to hang cabinets, work benches, and anything else you want, anywhere you want.

Mold and Mildew Kilz, then Gloss

Glad you are back with the SNS. I've missed you. Looking forward to new adventures in your new state.

Follow your dreams. All the Best.

I am so excited to see what you find! Happy rockhounding!

Now that you've left the state, do you have any plans to branch off from this channel into more 2A content? I remember back in the day you touched on it periodically on Reddit

Look into "FRP" = fiberglass reinforced panels. They are used in commercial kitchens, bathrooms and are durable and easy to keep clean. They are thin, about 1/8" thick or so and would be installed directly over the existing drywall with very little prep of the old drywall needed other than priming it if there is no paint on the walls already so adhesive will stick well.

One thought I had is plywood as a Wayne’s coating of sorts by using it floor to four feet. 4’ covers most incidental damage and you could do the entire room. Drywall 4’ and up. Just a thought. Moving sucks but I look forward to learning about southern Utah but, yeah, moving sucks. lol take care
