My FIL's barn is 3 stories tall. So far he's lost 2 trailers and a truck. Always, " I'm only going to park here for a minute...."

Replaced a gasket on the rear end of the bronco with my son, a little sweeping and a beer with 1 of my BIL's

I built the exact building you're talking about 2 years ago in sputhern Maine I think frost wall/stick built is the way to go in our climate. Especially if you plan to insulate and heat it like you are. I have radiant, keep the whole building at 58 and burn about 100 gals. per month when...

Bondi is a good idea, there is a 2 part wood filler that is similar but I find will hold screws better. If you have a circular saw with you you could get some cheap doors and put a redneck dado in them with a few passes. Your OCD should be safe as it would not be visible at the top

I get Miracle Wipes at Sherwin Williams. They work great to take paint and grease off

I had a similar opening between 2 rooms in the shop I just built. I ended up building a sliding barn door. Couple sheets of 3/4, then glued and screwed some rough cut to it. 14' Door track (My opening is 7') came from amazon. I have radiant on both sides so I wasn't concerned about...

This is Harper, our 1 yr old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. Her shop time has been limited during the puppy phase as she will eat anything on the floor and I'm still under construction. We both learned the hard way when she started eating romex.

Great looking building.

Great building. What are you filling it up with?

I'm in the middle of a 40x64 in southern Maine. I'll end up with about 70-75k in when I'm done. For Apple's to apples: 5' foundation wall, Anderson windows, cedar shakes and pine shiplap siding, 8/12 scissor trusses, 5 in slab with radiant. All work done by myself except concrete, roofing...

Going to be nice. Thanks for sharing

X10 on the CO detector. Use electric heaters as kerosene and propane have their own dangers. Would be quick and easy to use a big roll if plastic from a paint store or box store and seal off the ceiling and walls. Insulation isnt dangerous but im sure its dusty. Sherwin Williams is doing...

I can't be the only 1 to want to see pictures of a shop built in 1893!

Sorry, I should have proof read. Should have been when "snow" was expected

I Live in Southern Maine too. Where I rent my shop for work has sliding gates. They leave them open when son is predicted, close them after its cleaned up. Although I like ducksface's idea better
