Above 1200 Sq/FT Adams Acres 40x64x14 New Build

[Derrickwade]

Hello everyone. We've got a new build started. So, I thought I would invite my fellow garage enthusiasts to join me in my voyage. 15 years ago, I made a "single car revamp" thread on here and got some really good feedback. So I figure, why not do it again? Without further ado, here's what I'm thinking. 40x64x14 the 16x16 storage room with be used to store some appliances and material for apartment buildings. Next to it will be a 5x8 bathroom and a 5x8 broom closet. A loft will be above these room, as they will have an 8' ceiling. The empty corner left will be the work shop with a welding table in the center with a tool box and metal cabinets. Now, for the important part... the bar! Ill share a screen shot i stole from a video sharing app. This will be my inspiration for the bar area.

I always thought 40x64 would be 40 wide 64 deep. Lol

The builder is finished. Now, we need to build our interior rooms so the garage door guy can come and install the doors. My lights came in so I temporarily hung a couple to see how bright they are.

 

[Derrickwade]

Got the rooms framed up today. Ill call the garage door guy tomorrow and see about getting the doors installed.

[Derrickwade]

Its been slow going last couple months. But, we did finally start on the ceiling.

 

[loganb]

That looks super sharp! Going to be a nice place to work inside on this winter!

 

[Mr onetwo]

Great looking building! The black ceiling looks fantastic. What are you going to do as far as insulation in the ceiling goes? I ask because you didn't put up any vapor barrier.

Thanks Mr. One. I was just going to blow in insulation. Decided against a vapor barrier. Hopefully thats not a mistake...

That's a very nice looking building!
I also noticed you omitted vapor barrier as I normally see installed up north. Do you live in far south Illinois?

Thanks Lance. Southern Central Illinois. The people I've talked to around here, have said not to worry about it. Hopefully it will be fine.

@Derrickwade Nice building, when you posted the image of the saloon I could not help but think of @don long and his western town! Nice plan for the saloon!

Bar construction has begun.

 

[Derrickwade]

Had a nice little score the other day. The owner let me have whatever I wanted as long as it wasnt nailed down. Not a bad haul.
