Don’t have to, when the sheet metal siding is installed, it overlaps the frame to concrete joint. Unless you recess the building into the ground, there shouldn’t be a need for anything else.

Of the storms we have had, that I’ve been out there during, it’s handled the wind very well. Also, keep in mind that we have a lot of pine trees around, so the building doesn’t get a lot of wind directly.

Close, steel buildings and structures. I purchased through Daniels aluminum, which is close by my home.

I have forgotten about this thread. Doesn't seem to get that much interest, but anyhow.. The shop definitely has came a long ways since my last post! Concrete pad was poured, you can see the footers for the lift as well. Completed pad A few weeks after the pad was poured, my building...

A quick update on progress. Fell a pine tree that was only a couple feet away from the building, moved the existing shed, and now the concrete company is getting the form ready. It's starting to look like a garage is being built! Working on lighting some today, picking out a high bay light to...

You're probably right, but everything I need fits and leaves plenty of room for more. Like the a CNC router table, drum sander, etc that I don't even have yet. I may be sticking my foot in my mouth, but I believe it's plenty of room and the savings from not cutting down four or five pine trees...

Almost forgot to add that I picked up another lathe and it is a rare one to have in the states, a VB36 bowl lathe with the optional tail stock. Finding this lathe really put a emphasis on how much I needed a separate shop to work in, especially because my wife wants her parking spot back.. lol

Thanks! I had a come-along pulling it as well, trying to break what was left of the root system. After lots of wenching and jacking, I finally found that last big root hanging on.

After some thought about the resale value in our neighborhood and the overall cost of the building we decided to go with a 24x35x14 building instead. I'll add a loft around the lift for extra wood & household storage and my small lathe will go up there as well. Plus, it was easily fit into our...

I've been miserable for a while, especially with the area I have to work in. I don't mind the heat so much, at least. You may have to zoom in some to see the labels. Wood storage on the floor would be temporary until the loft is built. Adding a CNC is a big maybe at this point, but I wanted to...

I believe this post will be a catch all for my questions and updates relating to my detached workshop. That's the idea anyhow. I've pondered on the size of a shop for at least two years. At first, I believed I was restrained to 800sqft and would have to build a loft to have enough space. After...

Most of the time I'm just passing through and drooling on some of the show off posts here, but now I'm getting quotes and finances in order to build my own. I have a question that I can't seem to get a good answer to, but I'll post that in "general". Anyhow, I'm never sure of what to post in...
