I finally finished the ceiling with the help of my dad and neighbor. We stood on top of 11' worth of scaffolding to get the top rows of OSB at the peak. We worked from the top down. There is also a cut out in the ceiling on the deep bay for a 2 post lift to poke up a little higher the my...

Why a 14x14 footer and a pole barn? Usually the "poles" hold the load so there is no need for a footer in the slab.

Thats not really how it works. As long as everything you plan on using at once won't be over 200A you will be fine. My whole house and shop runs on a 225 main. I'd bet if I added all the breaker together it's be probably be over 500. You should be ok to add more breakers to the box as long...

Now that it's starting to cool back down in starting to finish out the interior. All wiring is completed and have Internet setup and working. Wires have been run for whichever a/c system I decide to do. Lowes had insulation on sale for 20% off so I went and loaded up with everything I...

I bought mine for $40 off craigslist, it's the one northern tool sells for $200+. I think I'll make money off of it when I sell it.

When I read "homemade" in the title I was a little worried, but after looking at your pictures very nice work sir! Keep us updated, I'm interested to see this come together.

How did the 1.5 ton mini split do this summer?

Doubt it, they were the worst quality pair of channel locks I've ever touched.

I have a 26x40 and wish it was at least 2' longer. I'd be really nice to be able to park my truck and trailer hooked together in there. It's not an everyday deal but when I'm packing for a hunting or 4 wheeling trip I either have to park outside overnight or hook up trailer in the morning.

Once you spend all your money building the garage there's not much left contents.

I went 26' wide because I wanted 10' wide doors. Then 2' between the doors and on both sides. There is room to open car doors all the way but you can't walk past an open door. Other then that the width is fine. I was never planning on work benches or cabinets down the walls. My little...

Plan ahead and get everything figured out before start. This is a list of things I would have changed. -Figure out where electric would enter the building and put conduit in the concrete. Mine has conduit running up the outside wall. -Find the best concrete crew you can. I wish my floor was...

While changing my tire I also found a 14mm matco socket on the side of the road. The channel locks were Chinese junk and broken.

I found a pair of pliers this morning on the way to work. They are only going to cost me $350!

130'

Yeah it was right about $25k for the shell with electrical including all light fixtures and running 100 amp service 170'. The driveway was $6300, 2000 sq ft @ $3.15. I think insulation and osb for the interior will cost me another $3k. I don't know what I'll ever use the loft for but maybe...

Welcome to Texas and keep the pics coming. I'm only about 5 miles down the road from you.

:thumbup: it sure beats carrying the sheets up a ladder.

I made this to hold the osb up off the ground so I could reach it from the roof. It also worked good for holding the first row. It's a lot of up and down to get the first row done but it helps hold the sheet and you can move it a little. I installed my sheeting before the facia so I had to...
