    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    Another minor update. I finished the tin wrapping around the corner. I have finally hit a point where I feel like I don't have much to do with that wall for a while so I can bring in a vehicle without feeling like it will be in the way. I also figured out what hoist I am going to get. After...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    Its been a while but most of the work I have been doing hasn't been very visible, so no updates. I am working on putting tin up one the walls that won't have doors/windows. Before I can do that, I needed to finish the insulation (put up a second layer of Styrofoam, us spray in foam to fill any...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    Another quick update, I spent most of my time over the last few weeks doing finishing stuff, such as getting the insulation in the corners of the walls and ceilings, but I also managed to make some significant progress. First, I finished off my front wall. It is now complete insulated, covered...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    BTW, stngfever, mustangs are one of the main drivers of building this shop. If you look I the background of my shots, there are 5 different mustangs (4 of which are mine), and I have some big plans for some of them, of which I want a nice shop to work in. Last summer I replaced the entire front...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    I did not us any J channel. The walls will actually stick out a little farther (I need to add supporting 2x4's horizontally to the posts to attach the tin to) so I will make sure I have a good finish at the top of the walls. You will never be able to see the edges of the tin on the ceiling. As...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    I have made some more progress, the ceiling is now completely tinned! I was able to get my hands on a sheetrock lift with an extension so it would reach the 13.5' ceiling, so besides being time consuming, it really wasn't very difficult. I did it with just my 17 year old son's help, and 1/4 of...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    I made a bit more progress this weekend. I got farther on insulating and was able to hang the door so it now slides properly. This is the first sliding door I have installed from scratch (I have a few on other sheds that I have repaired). I found it to be surprisingly easy and straightforward to...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    I made a little more progress over the weekend. I finished putting the plastic up on the ceiling, which made a HUGE difference in my ability to heat the shop. I have a 150kbtu nipco style heater that didn't make any impact in the temp of the shed unless you were in front of it, now it can bring...

    MN Auto Shop build in a 42x90 pole barn

    I am in the middle of a shop build and just discovered this site. Some of the work is complete, but as I get into the details of finishing the shop, I am excited to get some feedback from the group. I have been reading the archives and have learned a lot already. I am a car guy and live in MN...

    NEw guy from MN in the middle of a shop build

    I just discovered this site and am quite excited. I live in the country and have a lot of out buildings, but none of them are heated so I can't do any real work much of the year up here in the frozen north (I am primarily a car guy, and I want to work on my old cars when it is too cold to drive...
