I know the feeling. Wishing you the best! Hoping to get back soon myself...

24x32 is a great size, because I have the same size! Amazing how much one can put in there, on wheels, and still have plenty of room to do almost anything. 10" sidewalls with a vaulted ceiling allow me to have a 9K lift. My slab is 5" 3500# concrete and I made a 4'x14' area where the lift is 8"...

Best wishes on your "car guy" built barndominium! I built my own shop a couple of years ago and it turned out ok, too!

When I had my attached carport enclosed, all the cells got filled with 10k/psi grout( the block . layers usually did tilt up structures and used what they had and normally use. No need for waterproofing with that they said, but when I did the floor, I sealed the "curb" too.

Soffit area is big enough, but I can't imagine how corrugated metal would let any air in to vent the attic? Where are the openings?

Hopefully they add some X-bracing, at least in the corners, for shear resistance. Check out RR Buildings on YT. Best pole barn/post frame builder I've seen! Morton Buildings did a 50x100x20 for my father-in-law in western NE 45 years ago, 3-ply laminated posts on 8' centers, 1' soffits with...

What solution to the control joint under your lift did you settle on? That's quite the office/entertainment suite upstairs!

Sounds cool, but as you probably know, pics are king here.

Just watched the fire up video! Congrats!

That's going to make a big difference and I bet you won't miss that view when you can be working comfortably! I really like the color on Jane, but what happened to the yellow? Are the stripes a lighter shade, or just a different metallic added? I inlet a 12K AC/11K Elec heat 240V window unit...

Watched the Youtube video, noticed the HD drilling rig and didn't realize it was because of the holes being in rock. Great drone shots!

Concrete- won't dry out and crack apart and you can park anything on it. JMO, even tho it's too late. I don't understand installing girts flat. This gives minimal nailing surface, little resistance to sagging and makes insulation much harder while creating tons of thermal bridges. Maybe I've...

I see the MOT tester didn't burn rubber moving the van nearly as bad as last year, LOL! Still looks great!

Ahh, Porsche problems. When I started my mechanical career at a frame straightening/alignment shop, the hardest Porsche problems we had were rusted suspension/fasteners. Not too many plastic engine and cooling sytems parts back then( 1977). We also did complete mechanical work as needed.

Nice looking re-do of the existing structure!
