How thick are the floors? Looks like a foot?

 

[oilslick]

Like the colors very ballsy.

Looks like its gonna be a nice shop! Good size, and cool colours. Are you going to have a lift?

I also like that you built the garage before the house. You know the priorities.

Floors are 5" thick. Wife actually picked the colors, I would have picked a brown or tan combination. But I have received LOTS of great comments on our color selection from neighbors and people just stopping by to chat about the barn. Even noticed a couple barns with our color combination popping up in our area.

5" thick floors, you must have graded the outside and inside prior to pouring the concrete?

As Tony the tiger says it's great. Love the colors.
Some day before I am too old to enjoy a nice shop i hope to have one.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean.

Welcome to the Central Indiana barn club. Check out mine.

Yes I had anywhere from 3" to 18" of stone backfill I had to do before the concrete was poured, compacting every 3-4".

Power company is suppose to have power trenched into my meter base in the next 2-3 weeks! Then comes the fun part the internal finishing. I have "I think" decieded on studding walls with vertical 2x4's on 2 ft centers with R-19 fiberglass insulation stapled to the 2x4's, 6 mil vapor barrier with 4x8 OSB hung horizontal from floor to ceiling. After visiting several friends shops they have me convinced on running wiring in conduit on the surface of the OSB. Gives many options on adding future circuts and easier than fishing wire through insulated walls down the road. But still open to any thoughts and ideas on any of my finishing ideas. Spray foam is out of the budget for sure so no need to suggest that option. Oh, also plan on finished steel liner ceiling with blow in insulation on top.
