http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=311072 Congrats...attached is my current build...similar in size.

Ok, Update...All stripping is on, back wall is stick built, doors and windows framed, and metal is on the ground. 0700 In the am will begin hanging insulation and metal, then doors and electrical to complete....well temporarily complete...I will always be adding and tweaking..

Shop is progressing nicely. Hired help for 2nd day and also rented boom truck to lift trusses. I have stood up trusses on a house with lots of internal walls, but never 13' in air with nothing below me...not fun...but it is done.. Next steps for me: Finalize framing on walls/door/windows hang...

Looking for suggestions on Cabinets and other suggestions as I am putting up exterior walls and Trusses. Trusses should be here this week, and I started a few of the purlins for the walls. Updated Pics to follow.

Couple adders...the poles are 16 ft, and with 3 ft in ground, I chose to keep 13 foot walls. Also, had enough left over concrete mix to put in a 9 x 26 pad under the lean too...I believe that I will put limestone on remainder of lean too.

Not really a set time to be complete...but I am estimating 1 Day: Me and My son - Install Purlins and rough in windows and Doors 1 Day: Me/Son/Hired Carpenter and Helper - Stand Trusses, start Rafters on Lean Too, and Start framing back wall (I chose to stick build to allow for rear exiting...

How far apart are the post apart on the lift? What about power, does it need to be ran underground?

First day is in the books after 3 years of planning, researching, and wishing. I have a carpenter and 2 helpers who are assisting me. Garage will have 2 roll up doors, 10x10 and 10x12. All turnkey jobs were $30-40k. I will be attemting to keep build under 20k. Day one: 8 hours, 4 people. 500...

Guys, I am about to begin building a 32X40X12 Shop. In order to get a building permit, i have to provide plans. I know exactly how I want to lay out shop, but I need a set of plans to use as a template to document my plans. 1) Site plan - No problem, I have these complete 2) Footer plan - I...

I am assuming that you went with 26 gauge metal?
