I'm going to go ahead and admit it from the start.... I'm going to steal an idea from you... LOL! I admire the corrugated tin you installed around the perimeter of your shop, I saw a similar idea in a restaurant not far from here. My question is this, what type of lumber did you use on the...

Well finally can update with some pics... btw, everyone could use a scissor lift... the things are really nice when working alone on a 14 1/2 foot side wall building! (I'm done with it so it'll be going the Craigslist way soon!) Lets see, finished the majority of the sheetrock. The upper hot...

I'll grab some pics tomorrow, I'm to the point where I'm sanding the sheetrock.... (YUCK!) I've got the shower stall in and the boiler heating the floor! Interior walls are all up and after the rock is done let the painting begin!

I thought when I get to that stage I would create a line beneath the garage door and then just seal the concrete apron on the exterior.

Hey Ugly... I bought a set of plans from Dan at Barn Plans... ended up not using them... its a great complete set of plans with specifics on making the trusses yourself. PM me... might be able to help u out.

Crete.... do you remember the colors of the chips you used on the floor you picture that is very light? I think probably a white base.... Thanks

Got a big question... I'm about ready to call Fred at Alpha Garage for my floor in my new shop... only one problem.... what color to put down? We've talked about white with chips... has anyone put white base down and taken pics? We are having trouble deciding what chips to put in and hoped...

E30bimmer... they just received some big grant to restore the Frank Lloyd Wright hotel. They fixed the roof and uncovered the original lobby some time ago and I think they start the major renovation this summer?

Finally got the wiring roughed in and passed the inspection. Did a number of small prep items including running speaker wire, finished up the soil pipe (with a clean out near the hot tub for draining), created a hinged wall section near the hot tub (in case I ever need to remove it or pull it...

I'll try this again.... been a busy winter here and making some slow progress. Got the ceiling in the loft in and I'm nearing completion on the wiring. See the hottub??? No, its not active yet... have to finish everything first so hopefully next winter it'll be good to go. I installed a...

I'm not sure my electrical inspector will allow it... one of those things you hate to ask him, maybe better go with 12-3.

Hoping someone can help... according to my manual my Mohawk System 1A requires a 230V 20A circuit. Am I correct in that the wire I use is a 12/3 w/ground to the box where I connect the unit? Obviously a 2 pole 20A breaker... I think anyway. Thanks

Yep, looking forward to many fun projects.... but for now, the project is simply finishing this thing!

Well, got all the siding done, all the doors are in, and the ceiling/lights/fans are roughed in.... now starting to finish up some odds and ends then onto wiring inspections and insulation.... pics to come.

A3.... This has been a dream of mine for about 20 years. After continually putting it off and I just about put it off again my wonderful wife insisted I get it done.... soooo she's really to thank for this!! (think I'll get any points???.... LOL)

Lets see..... I have a spiral staircase that will connect to the second floor where we have a hot tub, card table, TV, etc.... basically my escape!! The open bay far right I have a Mohawk 2 post lift, center bay I poured flat with numerous anchor pots in the floor (who knows when you may need...

Thought I better update everyone.... garage doors come next week (finally!) Just in time for colder weather and snow... UGH!!! Need to get more rock for the driveway and slope the other three sides before too long. Got the ceiling metal up and built the loft in and around the third stall...

Finally got to some siding after 1/2" foam and reflective wrap.... also put the pex in the loft floor.

Fred.... What do you use to cut (or grind) the v-notch into the expansion joint cut? Thanks

Hey Rod... Up by Mason City... and since I had to return to work not a darn thing has gotten done on the shop. It still looks like the last pic, hopefully now as the kids are headed back to school I'll be able to start more work. And NO.... you come finish mine!!! LOL
