My original plan was to insulate the bottom floor and have an air conditioner, probably a window unit. Install 2 windows on the side of the building and a window on each gable end. I would build stairs going to the second floor and block it off with a door. But I am considering insulating both...

I had some more wood delivered today. T&G flooring for the loft floor, and 2x4s for the other gambrel roof end. I started laying down the shingles. I have never installed shingles before but a little research and I was good to go. The package that the shingles came in had really good...

I got a lot done the last couple of days. Here are the pics. It seems like 2 days of rain has molded some of the wood ceiling joists. Any idea on what I need to do about that? Started to lay some felt down. This is not easy to do by myself. I wanted to cut the pieces into 32 foot...

Very nice dude. I saw a bunch of forklifts like you are using on Craigslist and some are around $8000. I would love to pull the trigger on that and get one.

I do plan on putting a/c inside. The radiant barrier is kind of loose against the sheathing and somewhat maintains an air space between. I think the air space is required if you are using the radiant barrier as your only insulation. I'm just using it to stop the sun radiation from heating up the...

The rain was coming so I cleaned everything up and stored it for the weekend. I am taking the weekends off to hang out with the family.

Sheathing done on this side

Here is a shot of the inside. I borrowed some scaffolding from a neighbor

Thank you

Thank you Jim. I do plan on setting up a brew station and beer fridge inside somewhere.

Got most of the sheathing up. I have to make a run to the lumber yard to finish. I'll post pics tonight.

That's good advice. I will try that on the next project.

So my initial cost calculation on this build was $5000. That included everything I needed to black it in. Blacking in the workshop is the first phase of the project. The second phase includes -decking the loft floor with 3/4" T&G. -building full size stairway to loft. I want it to be easily...

This picture is crooked for your viewing displeasure. So the plans called to build the Gambrel roof ends on the floor and lift them out of the way to build the walls. I've made some poor decisions in my life, but that was a big one. I was going to need help to install this beast on the roof. WTF...

I am building a workshop for my father to spend his retirement days in. Dad needed a nice place to go to get away from the house and all the crazy that goes on there. I also needed a place to spend my spare time and keep all my tools organized. My 10x16 shed is chock-a-block full of equipment...
