So I had started with a plan to build a steel building but things just couldn’t come together so I regrouped, found a contractor and now beginning stages of process for a post frame with awning. It’s a little smaller than I initially wanted but really can’t complain. Just beginning the permit...

Looking for lighting recommendations for shop we start on this spring. Will be used for car restoration/maintenance, rv storage, general hanging out etc. total dimensions are 42x54x16 with a 12x42x10 loft on the rear wall. No wall or ceiling coverings with concrete floor. Definitely want LEDs...

Yeah the county is a funny animal. Looking forward to see how the room looks. Our 40x60 plan is opposite of yours (60 deep). I’ve got a 40’ diesel pusher I need to fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Krucks, Is the additional room/space part of the original design or added after the fact? If after, did you have to have to do anything special with the county? Asking as I will likely do something similar with ours as funds become available sometime after the initial structure is in...

So I had some good discussion with readhead and have some ideas on how to move forward. It’s going to take some time and effort. Bottom line, as some of you have said, get someone that knows and has put up several metal buildings. This includes the concrete engineer and contractor. So the...

First let me say I appreciate the feedback. I'll answer a few of the suggestions so you have a better idea where I am at. I do want to say up front I had a plan and if you are a member/former member of the armed services you know what they say about plans. My plan was a carefully designed and...

Finally have scraped enough money together to get going on my shop. Originally I had planned to put it up myself but new job on the horizon has changed that. I have already put money down on a Heritage Steel Building but I am really struggling to find a contractor/erector to put this project in...

Very Helpful! Thanks much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kruck’s, Would appreciate any updates you do on this portion of the build. County storm water regulations are insane when you try to get through the mega-manual. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Kruks, Would really like to stop by and see the shop and in particular infiltration pit going in. This is what I am working on now so we can meet Kitsap County plan requirements. Let me know and I can shoot you my number. Thanks. Travis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good progress and a lot of work. It's starting to look like a shop. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well if it's possible, take some pics of that part as well. I'd be interested in seeing it to see if it's worth renting an excavator to do it. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah I am at 2000 square feet for the shop. Trying to work out how best to do this. The shop is situated between the house and wetlands so space is a premium. Did you put your system in or contract it out? Your place is coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing the final product...
