Enjoying the shop, I was going to stain the floor but I have so much stuff in there already?

Drivesitfar, I have gotten a ton of good info from this site. I actually posted pics of the progression of the building. Unfortunately I cant figure out how to keep my posts grouped together, so the are scattered out on here. I have never erected a building like this, so I make mistakes. But its...

Correction 30'x50' is closed in. Yes im doing the wiring, yes it was a pain in the *** to cut in the wall plugs, but I want a clean look. I tucked the romex under the sidewall framing:willy_nil

I did most of it myself from ground up. Had a concrete man ramrod the slab. Didnt want to get the anchor bolts wrong. The slab is 42'x50', with a 8'x12' slab attached for a head, didnt want to waste space on the inside. 30'x30' is closed in . with a 12' shed attached. Slab cost roughly $13,500...

Finally got my shop dried in.Still have a 8'×12' head on the side to close in.Started wiring it,my power company coming next week.Gonna run power undergroung!!

Damn nice man:lol:

Thats AWSOME ! Im putting one up now, cant wait to complete !

PN, Thanks for all the pointers!! I did use the drip raill on both sides of the long walls.Mine was the color of my trim. I left my blue prints at home by mistake this time. I hate that because this is when I have time to really study them! Do I screw the end skins to the rake angle , as well as...

Re: Mueller red iron pics Helps a lot, keep it coming!! I welded these end pieces,except at the top. Watched the videos, left a lot of unanswered questions. How am I supposed to attach the sheets to the top?

I have been pre-drilling , and planned on doing that. I had not thought about pre-taping! Can you explain why you lined up the center with the stringline? Also what about the preformed black foam that seals the end. Did you slip that in after the sheets were in place? :headscrat

I feel like I've turned the corner and now I got both sides done:rocker:that would be me with a black hat grinning like ear to ear:rocker:

Making progress,taking forever cuz only get a few days a month to work on it:eyecrazy:

Slowly making progress ,its taking forever because I work on a tugboat and only get a few days a month to work on it.:beer:

Gonna have to rent a lift for the roof. The sheets for the lean to side are one continueous piece 32' long. Wind is gonna play hell with them. Will need calm days.
