Apex Steel(actually in Raleigh off Tryon Road), or Peak Steel in Apex.

NICE!!! I just finished my shop/mancave, and started working on my 48 Ford Truck. It's nice to have a place to tear into something, without having to worry about kicking my wife's car out of the garage....:)

Whaz up???....from Pittsboro.

That 48 cab you see in the corner.....it's going to get a haircut this weekend...:)

I used some old tin for my ceiling, and OSB on the walls. I trimmed out where the ceiling meets the wall with 2x4's. I lightly stained them to match the natural color of the OSB. Turned out pretty good.

Along the same lines, I saw a reply in yet another compressor thread which stated: "The receptacle has two hots and a ground, it's the white neutral wire you will not use. Cap it off when it enters the panel with a wire nut, and place a wire nut on it behind the outlet." So whats the deal...

And here's the reason I built it in the first place....along with having a place to start working on my 48 Ratrod project....:)

Final trimming out of the ceiling and corners, and some mancave stuff....:)

Here's a few of the insulation and OSB.....

Heres a few of my reclaimed roofing used for the ceiling......

The same guys that set the poles and put on the roof, now came back out and did all of the metal siding...

Starting gurts, doors, and a workbench....

And a few more pouring the floor....

After lurking around here for about a year, gathering as much knowledge as possible, I started on my pole barn/garage/mancave back in April 2011. Now, almost 9 months later, it's "done"! At least done enough to finally be able to pull my 67 Mustang Fastback in there this past Sunday!!! Next...
