I've run in to the same issues with my shed that is my personal shop on my own property. The insurance company will not insure the contents of my shop because there is not a dwelling on the property. If there was a dwelling on the property they would insure the dwelling and cover the shop...

A few more odds and ends moved in. I setup a menards 6 ft workbench that I had in my house garage until a built a more permanent one. It will do until I get things situated there. Also picked up a new toy/project for driving around the 4 acres. 1977 Honda ATC90. Was originally my grandfathers...

Started moving a few things in this weekend. Making room on the home garage, many loads to go to get all the odds and ends transferred over.

Doors went on today, they need to finish the weather stripping around the outside and then the building will be done.

Here's what they used

The building is finished and the overhead door company is coming Wednesday or Thursday to put in the doors. They had one piece of trim that was damaged on the front that they replaced today along with 8 damaged pieces on the back that were caused by a piece of trim coming loose when they were...

The edge of the slab is 14x14 and steel brackets are bolted through the post and concrete anchored to the slab with 5/8 anchors. I have a picture but will have to upload it tonight.

Didn't get any pictures yesterday as I was busy after work and didn't get out there until after dark. They got all of the upper side steel on and half the roof. Today they got the bottom section all on and most of the trim. They have half of the roof to put up yet and then a little more trim...

And it's winter again! Rain that turned into snow, turned the area around the building into a muddy mess when they try to drive around it. The starter on their generator broke today so they called it quits for the day. Generator should be fixed tomorrow and it's suppose to be better out although...

The upper half of two sides are on along with the soffit. Moving along pretty good so far.

Trusses are up

Got some work done putting up posts today.

The crew got the materials unpacked and the baseplates installed Thursday. Then in snowed/rained on friday so they didn't get anything done. They'll be back on Monday to start putting up the posts and trusses.

Materials got delivered Monday, Should start putting the building up early april. Went with 2" thick R14 doors. Need to get out and get the ground around the slab leveled before then. It's finally going to get above freezing tomorrow so hopefully things soften up to get the ground level. Here's...

They should sell a kit that has different orifices and other odds and ends from what I remember. I ran my 75K unit on propane for a few years before getting around to running a NG line. Pretty simply to swap over from one to the other.

I did the same as DWM when I did my storage shed. rented an electric mixer and bought bags of cement at menards or homedepot when it was on sale. Was easy to mix a few bags at a time and then pour it into the form. If I did my math right a 10x10x4 should be 40, 80# bags.(80# bag should yield .84...

The higher the temperature the whiter the color. Usually a standard "warm" color is around 3000, 5000 is your bright white.

I'd be interested in how the slider ends up working. I'm planning on sectioning off my shop and was thinking of doing the same instead of another insulated overhead door between the two areas.

Heats my 32 x 36 attached garage perfectly fine. R15 in the walls 24 on center studs, maybe 6 inches of blown in on a 9 ft ceiling. 1 small window, 1 16 ft wide R11 insulated overhead door and 1 8 ft wide overhead door. I could probably get by with a 45,000 BTU but I like the fact that I can...

Wet sanded and buffed one side of the car today.
