Re: Updated pictures I was not aware of that. However, the shop floor is 6 inches lower than the house floor because I wanted a curb around the shop to protect the bottom of the walls from water or whatever. So I guess I'm safe. Thanks for heads up. I'll check the codes here just to make sure.

It's running a 401.

Updated pictures Here are some new pics. The snow slows things down a bit.:sad: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0956.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0959.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0966.jpg...

I own the big Werner model, 22' I believe. I really love this ladder. It's so versatile and very stable. I would recommend one in a heartbeat.

Posts are 16" and the beams range from 4x12 to 8x12 with a couple of 8x15 thrown in for good measure. I'll have some more pics on Monday of the beams that frame out the entryway and the front roof Thanks everybody for the great response to this build. I'm getting quite excited to finish this...

I'll hire a crane. Then they raise it in sections. Block it up, bolt it to the post next section. I have four sections in all. At least in theory thats how it works.

Update I've been busting my but trying to get the roof up before it snows. The house has been sheathed and the trusses are up. Just have to get the shop roof ready to fly. Hope you enjoy the pictures. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0942.jpg...

Here is my update. I started putting in the posts and a couple more big exposed beams inside. Now I can start the second floor. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0924.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0929.jpg...

More pictures of the framing. The first floor is coming along real nice. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0917.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0918.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0919.jpg

It's permitted as a shop with an 850 sq ft guest house attached. The upper part is listed as storage only. They did sh?t a brick over the upper part. Comes down these days that even if it is your property you can't use it the way you want.

All the concrete work is done and subfloor is in. http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0911.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee187/greatbg/Shop/DSCF0913.jpg Now we start on the walls.:beer:

Took a while but I've started construction on my house/shop. I had to tweak a few things about to get a little more living space. It totals 1,700 sq ft living space and 2,400 sq ft shop. Shop is 40'x60' with 14' ceilings.:thumbup...

Walls are 16' , as far as how tall from the floor to the trusses I'm not sure yet. Some loft storage would definitely be a plus.

Can't wait to get started. Here is a look at what will be my new dream home. :bounce:
