Framing done and walk through doors installed! Trucking along nicely.

Had some awesome progress and everything is working it really well so far. Most of the framing is welded in place and they will work on the rest of the purlins this weekend. This was one days work so far: Decided to go with a 20’x25’ loft and did some 3D renders to convince the wife of the...

Awesome and thanks for all the replies! I am gonna go with the 20x25 loft. I will see about going for 9’ ceiling below the loft so there is enough room for sheet goods.

Slab is all poured and builder is about ready to start welding up the shop beams and we discussed the option of a loft yesterday and wanted to get some opinions. The building is a 40'x50' with 14' eaves. Looking at the sketchup below I am thinking of making a 20' wide by 25' long loft in the...

No lift plans as of now. I don’t think I would get enough use out of it to justify the loss of floor space and limited flexibility a stationary lift would require.

Slab time baby! I work as a hospitalist and been working 29 days straight. Had two days off and spent those fishing and then church. I ran electrical and plumbing by the light of my truck and a work light from 11pm until 3am, lol. Went with 1" electrical conduit to all sections so nothing has to...

Sweet, I will plan on a dimmer switch for those lights then and my buddy who runs a pretty large residential and commercial electrical business strongly recommends the UFO lights. I think 4 of them would probably work for my shop but I am considering 6 with a dimmer so there are no lighting...

The higher wind rated roll up doors are supposed to be a stronger roll up door but you are correct in that they are not insulated. I hadn't thought about that. I am just not a huge fan of how the overhead door tracks and mounting hardware look and then the loss of overhead light from when the...

Also, any thoughts on overhead lighting options? UFO overhead high bay lighting is what I am currently thinking of going with.

Stupid excited about getting this project up and running. Started to do a 30'x40'x11' a few years ago but never made the commitment with the contractor because the price then seemed way too high, $52,250 turnkey price including stucco work to meet HOA guidelines, that put me at $43.30/sqft. That...
