I've always wanted a large shop to tinker around in on my spare time. Here's my build. I did everything with the exception of finishing the concrete. Just me, my cousin & uncle. It's a 40x60x14 red iron I beam kit. It went together very good without a hitch. I dug my own dirt, built my pad, formed it, set anchor bolts, hung iron, sheeted it, trimmed it and wired it. Only thing I have left is to pour a front apron, haul in dirt in the back and build a lean to and install my 2 post lift. Let me know what you guys think.

Damn man, that seems like a great deal. What's the plan for the inside?

Very nice. Mainly automotive tinkering?
Thanks guys. I'm about to do a coyote swap on my car so that'll be my project for a while. I'm going to build a loft to store stuff so it's not on my base floor and try to keep it clutter free. Other than a loft and installing my 2 post lift, the inside will stay as is. I work on ATV's as well so I'm sure I'll start that up again soon.
