Garage doors are mostly complete. Clopay 3720 from Home Depot. 2" thick, R18.4. Big doors are 14'2"w x 14t. Small door is 9'2"w x 8't. Doors took 6 months to get order fulfilled. Luckily, I order the early and they were in a warehouse waiting for me when I needed them. Clopay from Home Depot...

Concrete Day!!!

Here's the video of the foundation prep.

Catching up on some video footage. Boxing foundation and plumbing intro: The more detailed DIY plumbing episode:

So my crew finally became available and it was time to start skinning the building. A crew of 5 guys and the plan was to skin the building, install all the insulation, and finish off all the exterior trim and gutters. From the point where I left off with all the openings trimmed, they figured it...

Somehow I don't have any pictures of the trim getting installed. Guess I was just too busy getting it done. It was fairly easy, but just a lot of work. I broke down and got a Milwuakee fuel rivet gun after hand popping 50 rivets the first day. So for the building process, I wanted to do as much...

Well it looks like I haven't been keeping up with this post. Here's some updates. I put base channel around the perimeter, This allow both an exterior and interior mounting for the walls panels. Most basic buildings would just have a base angle for the exterior, then a separate angle would be...

Still making progress. A bit discouraging after how big the results of the first 3 days of the build... Now little things that take all day don't seem to make a big difference. But my pile of building parts keeps getting smaller. I have all 4 garage and all 4 man door frames installed, as well...

Big update... Skeleton is up. Rented a 39' telehandler and a 19' scissor lift, along with purchasing another 20' scissor lift. I feel like it was the perfect combo of equipment to get the job done. Rounded up a crew of buddies to help out. Other than some anchor bolts being set wider than the...

Building was delivered. Took 3 hours to unload. After heavy rains, i destroyed.my parking lot with the fork lift. I decided to start working on the grading to get all the water to flow better around the shop. 3 more weeks for concrete to cure before erection.

Just got som pics from my truck driver. New shop is on the way!

Funny you brought that up. One of those neighbors actually walked over today and apologized... Said he had me figured all wrong and was happy with what I have done so far to clean the place up. (It will be the nicest property in the neighborhood when I am done with it, but that's not really...
