Hey gang, I'm about to run my driveway out to the shop (15.5' x 72') add a pad behind the back garage door (10' x 20') and add 11' x 11' to my patio. I have been soliciting bids from local contractors and put an ad on craigslist as well. It is about 1500 square feet in total and the dirt work...

Okay, so they aren't originals and yes they are probably made in China, but Hobby Lobby has a 50% off sale (I think today is the last day) on all "Men's Metal & Wood Decor." Until I can find some real nice antique signs to put in the shop, I picked up quite a few of these ranging from $7-15...

I'm getting ready to trench and run a line from my main panel in the main house garage to the shop (220v). I already have 2" PVC pipe run part of the way (under the driveway) that I will add to and run to the shop and to a sub panel for the building. I also want to run a separate run of 2" PVC...

I started my build with you all giving me input on my floor plans back in the spring. I poured the slab in July and am FINALLY getting to the framing. The framing crew started on Friday but were called after 4 hours for rain. They tried again this morning and got 2 hours in and rain again...

I had a monolithic slab poured in August and have not been able to get going on framing and am afraid that I may not be able to get to it before winter. Can anybody tell me if I need to be concerned about the slab over the winter? Not that we get too much snow here in Oklahoma City, but I do...

I love this sight, so many great resources to make a great garage! I'm in the forms stage of a monolithic slab and I have seen pictures of slabs on here with a plastic vapor barrior laid down before the pour. I asked the guy doing my concrete work if that was the plan and he said no, nobody...

I'm getting ready to get this off the ground finally! I had some dirt brought in and I have a levee site for my 30' x 40' shop. I have to do footers for code and was planning to do stems walls with my slab. The concrete guy that came to bid the job today suggested that I do a Monolithic slab...

I'm looking for feedback on my first attempt at a floor plan. My main building constraints: 30x40 max footprint and 8/12 pitch traditional roof with 16' max peak. The back half of the upper level is partially open (cathedral ceiling) to allow a lift on the back right parking spot. I know...

I'm getting ready to build a garage/shop and am looking for input or lessons learned from the forum members. I'm starting out with a 30 x 40 footprint (max allowed) with an 8/12 pitch roof (HOA required) and 10 foot walls. There is a 16' height restriction to the peak, but they have said they...

Hey gang, found the site searching for shop plans. We built our house three years ago and I'm finally ready to build a shop and give my wife back some space in the main garage... I'm in the OKC metro area (Moore) and looking to build a 30 x 40 shop on a slab with an 8/12 pitch roof. My plan...
