Getting closer

[chadincolo]

Haven't posted my pictures of my build yet, but here are some...24x36 shop, two drive in doors, two 4x4 windows, one man door. One foot of exposed foundation blocks and 8 foot walls for 9 foot total, scissor trusses which gets to 13 feet in the center. I've got the framing done, so I'm ready to call for framing inspection, then siding doors and roof and it's done.

I've done most of the work myself, probably 90% of the footer and blockwork alone, had one helper for probably half the framing, and three friends over to help set the trusses. Looking like I'm going to be just above budget (underestimated scrap/drops on the osb and siding) but still going to be well worth the money spent. Couple more months and it will be time to sit back in it and have a couple ...

Nice set-up. Your garage looks just as big as the house. Keep the shots coming.

Good looking structure you put together. I bet having that tractor on site with it's forks was very helpful. I also see you have your heating solution already worked out! What size overhead doors are you going with?

Kind of an optical illusion. The shop is in front of the house by 10 feet or so. The peak is actually the same height as the peak on the garage on the house. But it does look pretty big.

Yep, setting those trusses would have been, well, interesting without it...having a moving scaffold that would go 17 feet tall was nice. I got those heaters at an auction, going to cost more for the pipe to get propane into the garage than they both cost...

Doors are an 8'x8' (for motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc) and a 10'x9'.

I'm also going to add a little leanto on the back to house my air compressor to get it out of the working area...
