The doors will be insulated with the same foam board. Was cheaper to do it that way. Roof I will prob just cut them tight into the trusses and tape to secure and seal for vapor barrier.

Yea I am definitely in the same boat. With all the rain it is just muddy out and don't feel like having the ditch fill up with water. Luckily its only about 25' I have to dig so I might do it the day we plan to run the wire to the garage. Spent the last 2 days finishing up all the boxes and...

haha i'm sure but still nice. Finished up today mounting all boxes and running EMT to everything. Mounted the sub-panel and went and purchased foam board insulation. Still have to dig the trench from the house to the garage and bury the PVC conduit. Need power out there to make it so I can...

Just surfacing mounting using one hole straps. Will put 1" furring strips when all done with the EMT and insulation to close up the walls.

It was about $12,400 for just the building without garage doors. Foundation/driveway was way more than the building. I wish I went with 12ft walls for 10x10 doors. Shoot my subpanel is sitting in the box on the ground, I just have everything needed to wire it besides 2 wires. Running a...

Back filled it with crush concrete. Yea I wanted the split face as I didn't want to have to later add stone to the outside. Changed out the door with an insulated one. Had to cut the entire door 2 inches due to the rough opening of the garbage mobile home door that was in prior. Worked out...

Looks good. What size did you go with? I actually already bought a new insulated door to get rid of the trash mobile home door. I will probably install that tomorrow even though it is going to rain. Still need to get gutters installed just haven't had anybody come and give me a price. And...

So I went a bought almost everything I needed for electrical. I went with EMT that will surface mount to the square tube. After I will install furring strips to mount OSB or plywood so that the insulation and EMT is still hidden. Def show show me your progress cause like you said not many...

Well it has been raining for 3+ hours now and no leaks.... thats a good thing! Anybody think if I were to drill through the square tube with 3/4 holes to fit MC 12/2 would it affect the integrity of the metal? Or would face mounting be better off?

I live in the middle of no where, with about 15 homes in the neighborhood and no HOA. As long as everybody keeps up nobody says anything.

More photos.

Be prepared for a long read, if you don't want to read scroll down to the photos. So contemplated a lot of different designs for a detached garage and ended up going with a square tube 26x30x10 by Ultimate Metal Buildings. I have to say I'm very impressed with the construction and design of...

Looks good but everything I've read is that it needs an air gap (at least a 1/2") to effectively work correctly. I believe it will obviously still insulate but the barrier will not be utilized due to it being adhered directly to the metal. I could be wrong tho as i'm still trying to learn as...

My building is being erected now and should be finished actually today. Which poly pro did you use? I'm in NC as well and did not want the bubble insulation and planned on batt insulation but was looking at foam board. I'm assuming you used some sort of spacer between the radiant barrier and...

Any help setting up a lighting grid for a new shop going up in a few weeks? Shop is going to be 26x30x10 with a 4/12 pitched roof that is going to stay open. Wanting to put two large fans in the center and lighting around the edge just not sure what layout would be best. The garage doors will...
