So I had started with a plan to build a steel building but things just couldn’t come together so I regrouped, found a contractor and now beginning stages of process for a post frame with awning. It’s a little smaller than I initially wanted but really can’t complain. Just beginning the permit...

Looking for lighting recommendations for shop we start on this spring. Will be used for car restoration/maintenance, rv storage, general hanging out etc. total dimensions are 42x54x16 with a 12x42x10 loft on the rear wall. No wall or ceiling coverings with concrete floor. Definitely want LEDs...

Yeah the county is a funny animal. Looking forward to see how the room looks. Our 40x60 plan is opposite of yours (60 deep). I’ve got a 40’ diesel pusher I need to fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Krucks, Is the additional room/space part of the original design or added after the fact? If after, did you have to have to do anything special with the county? Asking as I will likely do something similar with ours as funds become available sometime after the initial structure is in...

So I had some good discussion with readhead and have some ideas on how to move forward. It’s going to take some time and effort. Bottom line, as some of you have said, get someone that knows and has put up several metal buildings. This includes the concrete engineer and contractor. So the...

First let me say I appreciate the feedback. I'll answer a few of the suggestions so you have a better idea where I am at. I do want to say up front I had a plan and if you are a member/former member of the armed services you know what they say about plans. My plan was a carefully designed and...

Finally have scraped enough money together to get going on my shop. Originally I had planned to put it up myself but new job on the horizon has changed that. I have already put money down on a Heritage Steel Building but I am really struggling to find a contractor/erector to put this project in...

Very Helpful! Thanks much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kruck’s, Would appreciate any updates you do on this portion of the build. County storm water regulations are insane when you try to get through the mega-manual. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Kruks, Would really like to stop by and see the shop and in particular infiltration pit going in. This is what I am working on now so we can meet Kitsap County plan requirements. Let me know and I can shoot you my number. Thanks. Travis Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

12" out here where he is and that is conservative. Very mild winters here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good progress and a lot of work. It's starting to look like a shop. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well if it's possible, take some pics of that part as well. I'd be interested in seeing it to see if it's worth renting an excavator to do it. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah I am at 2000 square feet for the shop. Trying to work out how best to do this. The shop is situated between the house and wetlands so space is a premium. Did you put your system in or contract it out? Your place is coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing the final product...

Kruck, What are you doing for the stormwater runoff system? Kitsap County has some crazy requirements for collection and distribution. Gone are the days of down spout to a concrete dispersion block. This is the last item I've got to work out for permitting. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone...

HOA is good to go. Paid for the county consultation which I am waiting for them to give me a date. Once I feel good about the site approval I'll put money down on the building and get the plans for submission. I've got 13 trees that will need to be dropped and stumps removed. Probably 125 cu...

So how's the progress? Been kind of quiet recently. Getting closer to starting my project. Wetlands paperwork complete. Waiting for HOA to approve plan then it's off to get permits and purchase the building. Looking for a good excavation site prep and concrete company now. Going to assemble...

Not yet. Until the wetlands issue is resolved and I know what I can truly build on the site the rest is just kind of ball parking it. Hopefully soon in that. Hopefully not a kick in the gut on the pad either. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So the quote came back from Heritage and its very competitive with other I received. I am liking the reviews I have read plus they are a manufacturer with a factory right here in WA rather than a pressure sales broker. Problems I am still working through include the wetlands issue, identifying a...
