My steel shop is built on the slab of my old house/shop, so it's a 65'x38' concrete slab with NO stem wall. When it rains, it does leak under the portion of the wall that is closest to the ground, on the NE corner. The framing of the shop is angle iron, and is bolted to the concrete. It is a...

In my shop, I have a 50-gallon electric water heater. I installed a 50-gallon initially, because we happened to be using the shop as living space while our house was being built (we had our RV parked inside the shop), and a larger bathroom was necessary for a family of four! Live in a fifth...

When I had my shop built in 2003, I probably should have shopped around more for a builder. The insulation in the shop was probably R2, if that, in value. It was nearly as hot as if I had left the walls and ceiling bare steel. The walls are essentially bubble-wrap with an inner "lining" that...

I built my 65' x 38' shop on the slab foundation of what was my old house and shop, which was destroyed in a tornado in May 2003. The house and shop were of block construction. The area that separated my home and shop was concrete blocks, and are now part of the working floor area of the shop...

I've got a 12' x 8' barn-shaped storage barn, built entirely of wood. Its primary purpose is a water well house, and the well tank and plumbing is at the end of the shed, taking up the width and just three feet of the depth of the shed. It is of 2x4 construction, and was built seven years ago...

My shop, built in July 2003. It sits on the concrete slab of what was my old house and shop, which was destroyed in a tornado in May 2003. It is of steel construction, with 4x5 angle iron beams and supports. There is a 12' x 24' patio/carport in the front. Brick wainscoting that matches my...

That's the name my wife gave it when it was completed, and she's dead-on the money! This was built on the space my house used to be..."used to" because, in 2003, we got wiped out by an F-4 tornado! This was built on the slab foundation of our old house (our new house is right next to it!). It...
