I like that you named your place....cool. The light over the pump is pretty cool too. What kind of material are those green cabinet doors made from?????

Pretty nice shop you got there.....Looking good. Lets see those floor pics.

First of all that ***** man. I'm not taking anyones side here but I'd be pissed if this was my shop. I'm a concrete guy and slabs cost way to f'n much if you ask me! How long after the pour did you build on the pad? Does the crack go down roughly in the middle and out the doorway? Whats the...

I just poured a guys garage floor 24x24. the color was charcoal grey, it took 10 pails of stampcrete grey. the cost was $470 we used 9 cubic meters of concrete. Turned out nice. Browns, greys, copper, red, greens, they all are around $45-60 a pail. Which does 1cu meter or yard. To go black is...

Yesterday I got half the roof tin done, then it snowed over night. I pulled the rest of the tarps this morning. What a whack of snow up there! Got it all finished by 5:00 What a crappy job when its cold as hell out and you have snowy wet feet. ...........a couple more photos from this morning ..

I never even thought of just calling the supplier, I didn't get any info with the trusses and couldn't find squat on their website either. I called the truss company today and the engineer said I need bracing on the bottom cord 10' in from each side wall all the way down the center of the...

I built a 26x46 shop with residential common 4/12 pitch trusses. Does anyone know if there is specific pattern of permanent 1x4 strapping? I strapped the roof every 2' in rows for the roof tin. What I'm asking is does the webs and bottom cords need strapping? I read online that 45degree...

We have very sandy soil here where I live, so shifting & heaving and over all movement is very minimal, so my slab on grade (with thickened edge) is okay and was recomended by the engineer. However 10 miles to the west is the City of Regina, they have mucky duck $hit type subgrade, absolutely...

Its a 5-6" slab over all, with a 12" thick edge.

Yep, I wanted the room in attic trusses but the pitch would have been 8/12. My Town has a bylaw that states the roof pitch of any detached garage can't exceed the pitch of the principal building. My house has 4/12. It *****, but my hand were tied. Oh well, the trusses were $3800 cheaper. :D...

No installing of tin on the roof today, I installed my walk in door instead. Its warm out and they were forecasting rain so I hoarded the shop. 1/2 hour after hoarding the rain started. Its been raining for two hours now.

Nice, reminds me of caesars palace in Las Vegas.

A few more.

Update on my shop........Final size 26'x46' with 10' walls. 4/12 pitch roof. The walls went up saturday afternoon, trusses went on sunday, roof got strapped monday, wrapped the gable ends and finished some odds and ends today. getting ready to install the roof tin tomorrow. I only cut one 10'...

Update on the garage..... Walls all framed, sheeted, wrapped and ready to errect. We have snow in the forecast for the next two days so everything got tarped today, walls, trusses, etc. Should have time on the weekend to put it up and install the trusses. Oh can't wait....

Its been cold, snowing, raining and melting on and off for 4 weeks now and I've done squat for progress to the new 26'x46' garage. I woke up this morning only to find more snow on the ground! But with the snow came my garage trusses ladders and gables. Nice!:thumbup: The weather looks ok for...

just a quick scetch

No offense taken, your not a a-hole. :lol: I agree the search function does ****. Tried numerous words and phrases to search for what I wanted, couldn't find squat! I was hoping someone would post a photo of their shop thats been divided up with temporary walls . I've been scetchin up some...

I guess I could split the back half of the shop up the middle making it into two 13'x20' areas. With maybe a sliding 10' wall at the front and a 10' permenant wall in the middle. This way I could have a welding fab area on one side and a wrenching shop on the other. Or slide the door open and...

I'm looking for advice, photos & ideas on how to divide up a shop for multiple uses. I am in the process of building a 26'x46' garage. You enter through two 10' doors in the 26' end. I need to come up with a idea so I can have a welding, drill press and grinding/fabbing table area where I can...
