Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT Workshop Build 30x30x12 Ocala, FL
- Thread starter wachuko
- Start date
Workspaces between 705 and 1200 squarefeet.
Wells Index mill will stay in the single side of the garage in the house... not moving that nor the big lathe... I will have the smaller lathes and smaller milling machine in the new shop. At least that is the plan for now.
They are almost done with the fill...
Done for the day… Next is another inspection and then they schedule the pouring of the concrete…
And I think that they left enough dirt in front to make it easier for me to build the ramp... it is all looking good!!

Heck at that rate you’ll be done before me. My one day electric service job is turning into a month.

It’s been a couple of months, any updates?
In the same state, they are supposed to be here sometime in January to continue the work and finish installing the structure.
Has not stopped me from working there, lol.
Thank you for asking!

Hope the shop moves forward next month.
Look forward to stopping by for the races, and little beer.

Is it done yet ?

Replaced cheap wheels on the toolbox that I got from a friend….
Made a bracket, from scraps I had, to mount a cooler on the air compressor…. This is for the main garage. Only sees light duty. I will do something better for the one that goes in the workshop.

They don’t fool around about getting it done.
Looking good.

That is correct. I was amazed how quickly all that got done.
Today was a smaller crew installing the panels on the roof, drilling and bolting the structure to the floor, and installing the metal brackets for hurricane-winds certification.

Today they are waiting for inspection and will then do the felt on the roof and start with the install of the outside panels.
View from the road. Shingles should match those of the house... then I paint everything the same color as the house to blend it in. Trying to make it so that it does not stand out that much...

Yes. Even from the side as well... it will look like an extension to the house.
I will be buying more of the same shingles to redo the roof on the shed. I could not get it at the time we built it... but now that it is available again, might as well have all the shingles matching.
The are done for the day... inspector came in late so they could not get a lot done today...
All felt installed.
And they installed more straps inside...
More on Monday...
These are the panels that go outside...

And I hear complaints from contractors in non-hurricane prone areas complain about hurricane ties on every 4th rafter or having to put an extra king stud in at openings and then I see this and just laugh and smile. I get irritated with FBC, FPAS and the associated stuff when it slows me down at work, but then I go and look at other states with similar attempts at local rules(Texas...California etc) and remember I'll take Florida over those anyday! Living in tornado alley I can't count the number of times I've seen rafters picked right off walls so all the strapping makes me smile
I had to... I had to... pretty sure they will ask me to remove it until it is done and inspected... but man, I had to... hahahhahahahaha. It was a gift from my friend (he recently passed away), when he had his Midas shops.
This, I hope they do not notice. Brackets for the LED lights... It will be awhile before I close the roof for adding insulation... so might as well setup three rows of 28' of LEDs to light up the garage until then...
