The Beginnings of My Shop Build

[kiwigtx]

Good to see you building a shop to work in @ykf7b0 - you will appreciate the space, and learn to live with the size you have.

Remember this - a bigger shop = more space for more unnecessary stuff.

Chick stuff too.

I had to build a 2 car "garden shed" for that stuff.

I got my floors poured last week but still have a 20x20 slab out front that might get finished this week. Trusses soon to follow hopefully.

Is this as close as you are allowed to get to the construction for pics...

I will do better. Sorry

Concrete work is complete.

'Concrete work is done", are you holding off on pouring the other side? I assure you, you going want that done, if not now, you will in the future. May I urge you extend your roof and cover all your slab. It will keep your rollup/panel doors from leaking rain water into the shop and you will be shocked at how much work you will prefer to do out side under the covered area. I have built three shops and trust me when I say the older you get the more natural light we like. A great shop in progress and much enjoyment coming, best wishes.

. Thanks! The right side of the shop is for storing my 69 roadrunner and 55 Chevy and I don’t have plans right now to concrete out front on that side at this point. I had originally planned to put gravel on the inside of the roadrunner and 55 storage side but changed my mind on that. The front of the shop will be getting a rain gutter but just might get a “front porch roof” later on.

The trusses are up and waiting for the metal to arrive.

 

[POMONAMISSEL]

my shop is 30x40 and it fills up fast .

 

[ykf7b0]

Metal has begun.

 

[ykf7b0]

Exterior metal is complete. Now waiting for 10 foot and 18 foot sectional doors.

 

[ykf7b0]

Sectional roll up doors installed. I wanted windows in the 18 foot door on the right but it was going to be at least 7 months before it came in. Electricity is next.
