Pretty much what we've been doing for the last month.
I sold my old business building in the industrial park so I had to get the pole building fixed up to use for my business. I was thinking about how to do it but my youngest son stepped and took over. He's pretty good at the construction trade and he also just finished a pole building for the place he works for. I let him go at it.
He built a mezzanine in the back to store my junk, insulated the walls and covered the bottom 8' with OSB, the top 7-8' and ceiling is going to be corrugated steel. We'll probably get that up this weekend. We have all the wires run for the 16 LED shop lights, two ceiling fans, four drop reel power cords and the IR tube heater. Waiting on the heater to come in the next week or two.
We got lucky. We were going to use a scissor lift from the place my son works at but they decided they wanted to sell it so I bought it for $1500. It costs $115/day to rent one so, so far we've had it for over three weeks. When we're done I'll sell it. Pretty sure I'll get what I paid for it. We couldn't have done the work without it.
I'll also be installing my two post lift. I have a 5K forklift so that makes for an easy install. My son and I had it up in my other shop in an afternoon.
