Ok, I'm about to have a small shop built and want to make sure I get it right...
It will be an 18'x36'x14' pole barn with a single man door, and a single 12'x12' roll up door, all on a 4" reinforced slab. The roll up door will be on the narrow end so it'll look like an RV garage. I'm also putting in an 8' loft on the far end. The interior will be unfinished since I can nail sheetrock or pegboard or whatever later and save a little $$.
The initial build will not include any electrical as I have a friend that can do that once it's built.
Once built I want to insulate the roof to cut down on the radiant heat (and maybe rain noise). Spray insulation is uber expensive, good alternatives?
Are there any do's / don't's I should watch out for? I've never had a shop or built a house before so it's all spanish to me.
