The next are going vertical I think, its a perfect 8' to the top, so I am betting on my sheets being a 1/8th in shorter than 8ft to fit.. Great advice to stagger the joints.. I am using exterior deck screws 2"inchers..

I am also starting to regret the 33 outlets I put in, gawd what a pain in the *** that's going to be to install the uppers panels around..

Well because I am a *****! I made more work for myself by no planning properly.. I made the third girt up too low, I set the top of it at 48" not accounting for the how to attach the next board. So I had to rip off 1 1/2" inches of each piece of ply before being able to mount it. Got them...

I got it from - http://www.upstateincrete.com/ local place near me. But I am sure that the floor guru's here on the forum can find / recommend a very similar product local for you. I just try to buy local when ever I can..

Insulation done, except the front wall, but wont take much to button that up. Done and Done.. My boy playing with the tape measure.

Pleasant surprise today when the gas company showed up and installed my gas line.. Didn't know they were coming and got it all for free..

That's a tough call.. Go big and don't look back, I probably could have gotten away with a 30x30.. I priced both a 36x36 and 40x40 out, they were 1800 bucks different, it was a no brain-er for me.

Got my electrical inspected today, it passed with flying colors, said its one of the neatest DIY jobs he's seen, not sure if he was being nice or not but I am happy. I do wonder though if these guys have to pass a test yearly to keep up to date, as he did say I didn't need to have it grounded...

Scheduling electrical inspection, insulation starting might have been a bad idea.. we'll see how this goes..

Picture of the stiffiners I put in each section: Close up, simple left over 2x4's to attach to the outside perlins, really give the 2x4 some strength when putting them on there sides like that. One more section almost done The leak I found tonight in the attic after noticing some water in...

Got a ton done this weekend, with a lil help from the old lady and my old man stopped over as well. One more section - Thursday The old man helping with the back wall This one you can see the center stiffiner I put in each section to give it more strength: Almost done back wall finished...

Got another section done, thought I would show what i did to make the building air tight. First I calked the entire building, the wainscoting gap and the floor got calked, took a 13 tubes of calk, but still cheaper than buying those foam pieces. Which had i know about i would have had them put...

He's got a 20 drawer Vidmar cabinet and an old school refrigerator size Lincoln welder that he wants to get rid of as well, so I told him I would take them for sure..

This is the bench and racking I picked up. Just needs a coat of paint.. My uncle doubled up the racking welding two piece together not sure why as it weak point is still the cross member, but it's beastly.: Then the bench is 1/4 steel plate, perfect for pounding, welding and setting up...

Not sure Eric how it will hold up.. I'll let you know after the first brake job or gasline change.. I look at it as something i'll re-coat everyother year like the driveway, maybe stretch it 2-3 years if its holding up. 5 gallons is 139 bucks and will re-coat the entire floor. I dont think...

Only got out there for another hour today, but was able to get one more section almost done. Even the wife climbed the latter today to help nail the upper boards.. Rest of the boards up Next bay done, minus the two upper corners..

I can't remember the name off hand, it was an online decal place. I wasn't happy with them at all, i submitted my order then after i submit it they tell me that the shop is closed for two weeks do to yearly upgrades. So it put me 3 weeks behind.. Cost 30 each decal and they were good quality..

I debated back and forth on direct mount, but used chains, and only have about 1" gap. Main reason was i was doing the work my self, so I chained the lights in the house. Then mounted the hooks and drilled hole through the ceiling for the pig tail I put on each light. Then simply walked up...

I also scored a two pallet rack shelving units and a monster all steel (2000lb) bench that my uncle made about 10 years ago, thing is a beast, just needs a coat of paint..
