Framing completed today. Trusses go on Tuesday.

Well have made some good progress since the last update. The block work has been completed and the pad poured. Lumber was delivered today along with the roof trusses. Framing starts tomorrow! So far really happy with the quality of work and the GC is onsite every day.

I'm definitely feeling pretty lucky to have this space available. How will I ever fill it.... "Rule of a women's purse" or in this case a shop, doesn't matter how big it is it will always be stuffed with ****. :) Driveway is requiring some imagination. I don't want to cut across the...

That's pretty piss-poor. I'm in the market and this certainly doesn't say much about quality.

Oh snap I like this one! Use foot controls so you can move the chair around while still using your hands on the repair.

You can also order these optional accessories, really get the full usage out of the device. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012GMA0O/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Re: 60x40x14 proposed build Good point. Fortunately I'm past that now and the build is on! :)

Re: 60x40x14 proposed build Been a little quiet but things are starting to move now. Footers were poured and conduit/pipe put in for electric, water, drain, and security/network/etc. Also purchased a 150W LED fixture to try out as a possible ceiling light solution. Once the building is...

I really like these RJ45 connectors. Much easier to crimp than the standard ones. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FI9VU2/?tag=atomicindus08-20 300 feet is getting a bit long for ethernet. Specs say max 100 meters, 328 feet. If you go longer than that you may want to look at fiber or long...

Wow, that really is awful. I too would wonder if there are voids in the main floor area after seeing this. Would go for a complete re-do.

Re: 60x40x14 proposed build Digging of footers was completed yesterday afternoon. Took them about three hours. Prep and inspections next, should be seeing some concrete soon. Vinyl/shingles was at the request of spousal unit indeed. :)

Update 60x40x14 proposed build Construction begins! I have my security cam setup to do time lapse as well so should be a neat movie when it's all done.

60x40x14 proposed build Signing the contract on Monday to start work. Builder is doing the concrete, shell, roof siding etc. I'm doing the electrical plumbing etc. spec'd out two split heat pump systems (2 2.5 ton) that should keep it nice and cool but still be efficient. Looking at the Bendpak...

Re: 60x40x14 proposed build Yeah, just scale. I am struggling with layout and door locations. I'm pretty well sold on a second large door but not entirely sure where to put it/them. I am a total visual person and it's tough for me to figure out stuff without seeing it in person. Trying to...

I'm totally in for 1!!! Haven't even broke ground on the shop and tool shopping already!

Re: 60x40x14 proposed build Sarg All roofing is included in the price (matched to house) along with the vinyl. Still trying to get quotes, I see contractors haven't changed much... When you have to make multiple calls to get any response for a quote request they are probably the folks you...

Re: 60x40x14 proposed build Thanks that's what I was thinking too. Still getting more quotes but the numbers sound reasonable. Figure another 15 or so grand in electrical materials, insulation, drywall, etc. Will do! Copy that, updated. Thanks!

Hey folks, been lurking for a long time and am now ready to move forward with a garage/shop build. I have gotten one quote already and waiting on two more. Quote includes: foundation pours and 6" of rebar reinforced 3000 psi concrete with vapor barrier. Stick build, 2x6 walls with vinyl...

Hello all, Well I've finally decided to pull the trigger and spend too much money. I have a open field behind the house and will be building a 40x60x16 (or 18) steel building. I will have two lifts, HVAC, a machine tool area, welding area, etc. I've been working on cars in a 1.5 car garage...
