William.... Thanks for the kind words. I fought it a bit but here they want the very edge of even the gutters to fall behind the set backs.... ugh, oh well... I made it work as best we could. Its all in the interpretation and who is doing it of course. And yes, can't wait... but the...

Good point Tony, I'll just have them shut if the rain is that hard. We discussed putting more of an overhang on the building but due to where the back of the building is in relation to the property line set back and the need to have a decent approach we decided against it. The lot is a very...

The building gets full seamless gutters when I'm done with the siding.

Trusses and roof is done... now onto a bunch of little things and the siding... Its finally starting to take shape.

Second floor loft and walls are complete, now on to the tall side walls of the main shop bay.

This is how I covered the 2 inch foam board around the perimeter... flashed behind the OSB leaving a small gap between the bottom and the top of the flashing.

We are up by Mason City... Got most of the floor joists for the loft done today, will finish it and the floor plywood tomorrow... then off for more lumber.

Todays progress included running for lumber and coilstock and then got most of the "1st floor" done... then it rained again... ugh!!!

Plate work is complete and now moving onto bringing the back up to "level" where the loft area will be.

Got all the concrete done last week and started with the layout. Common issues are pending like concrete that isn't the same height all the way around the perimeter and whatnot... nothing that can't be fixed but more time... Plates are set and now to start fixing the walls...

Got the first portion poured... tomorrow is the rest!

Well, tomorrow we get started on concrete.... finally! All the forms are up, pex is down, ready to go...

Hi everyone... If the darn Iowa rain would stop long enough to let me pour concrete I'd be further along... but in any case thought I would share with the group my starting point. We brought up the lot about 2 feet on one end and trenched our footings, since then I have most of the underground...

I just purchased a nice used Mohawk System 1, the bay it will go into is approximately 14.5' X 24'. The Mohawk website manual doesn't specifically give recommendations on how close to the garage door I should place the lift. I have read on other manufacturers sites 13 feet is sufficient. My...

I'm building a new 36 X 44 shop. The side wall height will be 14 feet 6 inches. Three bays with the full height and along the back wall I'll be constructing a 12 foot deep loft for storage above and my machine shop below. I keep hearing about a new type of florescent light fixture that is...
