    Here she goes.....

    I'll see if I can get some more pics tomorrow.You are correct in saying that they are nailed to the cross pieces of 2x4. They strapped the roof today and also found out that the metal supplier shorted the 12' sections of wall tin by 6".:headshake.....Oh well, it's still moving along and the roof...

    Here she goes.....

    I'm assuming the concrete alone hold's them in place....the nail's get yanked out with the form's so I don't think they have anything to do with it....I will ask the concrete guy this week for some input to answer any questions...I was wondering if there was any hurricane straps, or anchors that...

    Here she goes.....

    They called them "bucks".....they leveled them off and nailed them in between the forms before the pour. I guess that's how they nail the shop down instead of using reddi-rod anchors??? The treated bottom board get's nailed to that.....unsure of why it's different than other buildings, as long...

    Here she goes.....

    That's one week of 'lumber only' progress.....the footing's were about two week's with a rain delay and the guy doing other project's. It's going to be for toy storage. I have my current shop packed with my boat and JEEP project, and I can't really do anything else in there. I'm sick of...

    Here she goes.....

    Been dreaming this project up for awhile now. It's a 42'X60' with 12' walls. I wanted the guy to start in the spring, but a house he was building kept him away till now. After the foundation was done, he started building with just one other guy(two to put the rafters up)and did this much in a...

    Overhead door to the side.....

    I guess I never realized the waste of the one wall if I were to put it 3-4' from the side. Now I'm really not sure on what I want.....?

    Overhead door to the side.....

    I'm curious what everyone's feelings are on having a overhead door off to one side.I know the norm is in the middle, but I just think that waste's too much storage space. I have a 42' X 60' X 12' lined up for construction in the spring and I'm thinking I want the main door off to one...

    Biggest decision ever...

    I know I'm in for alot more cost's down the road, but I need a bigger shop for my toy's and I figure I might as well build at least the shell while i'm fairly young and pick away at it over the next 5yrs.I set aside forty for the shop(60x42x16) which includes 14x14 overhead door,3 windows, 1 36"...

    Biggest decision ever...

    Yah, that is just the shell.I priced out both.A pole shed from www.goodon.com, and a stick build from a local guy I know.The stick build was actually a couple of thousand cheaper and that included a footing.I plan on using it for cold storage until I can knock some money off my PLCredit.I can...

    Biggest decision ever...

    That's what it feel's like in my head right now.I'm working with a budget of about 40k and am debating wether or not to go with a 60X42X16 with a upper mezzanie.....or a 50X40X12or14 depending if I can get a loft up in the rafters?I was also thinking of adding a 10'wide cold storage lean-to on...
