Updates for today. All the Hardie board put up and metal roof about half done.

Sorry for the loss of your old man. That would be a very sweet car to restore. I've always loved those old mustangs. Pots are a great idea.

Re: Shopping at the local jail? I am wondering what the advantage is of using the steel frame and then wood framing between the steel members vs. conventional stick framing the entire structure. Thanks Rick I wanted a full metal building, city code wouldn't let me have metal on the outside...

Here is the some work from today. Moving along good now

Thanks guys, I'm second guessing myself :dunno:on the bunkbeds now to save on floor space. I bought them off craigslist, not sure where they got them from. I thought about building a hanging shelf like this. I could hang them from the roof 3' down and still have 10' from the ground up. I could...

Well we made some progress this week. :willy_nil:willy_nil

I have a company coming Monday to do a 1080sqft slab@ $1.25 a sqft.

Looking good rigpig.

Nice building going up. I am building very similar 30x36. My doors will be on the 30' ends. I will be watching your build to get ideas. Looks great so far.

Yes i have a slab, but when they did the pour the concrete trucks didnt come back to back. The first truck came then the second one didnt show up for almost a hour then the third about 15min later. So the first load had already setup so much that the seam between the two couldnt blend seamless...

Here are some storage shelves that I bought off craigslist $300 total. They are all metal %100 welded (very heavy). The singles(about100lbs each) I'm going to stack two of them up for two 6' long workbenchs, the bunkbeds(about300lbs each) stacking two of them up to have two 10' tall shelves two...

Thanks Well this is more of a ground up, then back down, then back up build. :eyecrazy::lol_hitti OOOwell $hit happens, just got to keep going. :rocker:

I just bought the same boxes in black but the ones with ball bearing and grip latch. I think its more heavyduty. I would look for one with ball bearings, its going to hold up better. I put mine on layaway two weeks ago when it was on sale for 50% off $750.00 for both boxes. My shop is being...

Well today is the 28 day since the concrete has been poured. Instead of doing the epoxy floors this weekend, hopefully Monday they should demo the slab to start over. I hope it will be ready to repour the slab by the end of the week. I'm so ready for the building to be upso I can start my work...

Same for me. I moved into my house 6 years ago and the garage was converted to a room. What used to be my man cave, is now my 3yearold daughters play room. I bought the house with plans to build my shop, just never had the money. :beer::beer:

:thumbup: I like the way you think. I was going to do the same with my Shead in the back and paint a big FU with(fun unlimited) in small letters. I decided to not do that, the city has a limit on how much sqft I can have and I'm hopeing that they will forget about the Shead and I can keep...

Rigpig you was right on our building specs, we are very close. I will watch for ideas off your build also. East Texas maybe???

I know how you feel, my A$$ of neighbors went yelling and screaming at the Board of Adjustment meeting about me wanting to build my building. They said they didnt want to look in my backyard and see a big building. So as soon as we got home from the meeting they went on their backyard(like haha...

FNG here liking all the ideas and pics from everyone. I'm in the starting stages of my 36DX30WX13Twalls. I have two doors getting installed one 12TX16W door on the 30' front wall, one 10TX10W on the other end 30' wall and one man door on the 36' wall facing the house. It will have a metal roof...
