Perfect shop dimensions..... exactly what I am thinking of 40x60. Don't know how you got away with more square footage for the shop but... good for you . Keep the pictures coming.

It's permitted as a shop with an 850 sq ft guest house attached. The upper part is listed as storage only. They did sh?t a brick over the upper part. Comes down these days that even if it is your property you can't use it the way you want.

I'll hire a crane. Then they raise it in sections. Block it up, bolt it to the post next section. I have four sections in all. At least in theory thats how it works.

Posts are 16" and the beams range from 4x12 to 8x12 with a couple of 8x15 thrown in for good measure. I'll have some more pics on Monday of the beams that frame out the entryway and the front roof

Thanks everybody for the great response to this build. I'm getting quite excited to finish this and move in.

Re: Updated pictures

Looks great. I also like the timber entry ways and the garage to living space ratio.
One question, I thought the garage floor needed to be lower that living space floor to prevent fume entry into house by code?

I was not aware of that. However, the shop floor is 6 inches lower than the house floor because I wanted a curb around the shop to protect the bottom of the walls from water or whatever. So I guess I'm safe. Thanks for heads up. I'll check the codes here just to make sure.
