Shop on the hill for Victoria and my sons hobbies

-
A perfect fit! Congratulations Mike. That is a well deserved spot for Victoria. Enjoy it my friend.
Thank you gdrill, you have seen this little A body move in to a couple new shops here on the hill bud :thumbsup:

Looks good. -- You were smart to have the high walls. -- I wish that I would have done that. Mine is 28 X 40.
My son said it is best to go up for storage and build a walk way around two walls . Thank you :thumbsup:
 
Nice shop MeMike, and sounds like your boy's are top notch. I hope you enjoy your new shop as much as I enjoy mine. please keep us posted on building Victoria and please send more pic's on that daily driver p/u you have.
 
memmike, I know this is my dumb, but I would like to learn new construction techniques, so do you mind if I ask: What is it about your roofing system that allows it to get by with less support between the rafters than I would normally expect to see? Am I wrong? Am I wrong?

All to Speck here in Arkansas, all or most metal buildings go this rout
 
I was lucky to see this unit for sale here in town, 5 tones of a/c and heat (Heat pump package unit) for the shop for $500.00. my oldest son stepped up and bought it, and I just finished forming up and pouring 800 lbs of concrete :thumbsup: Now to buy some 8 gage thnn stranded wire and buy a thermostat

It's looking good Mike. When it's all done your wife will never see you much because you will be in the shop.
I stay in mine more than the house for sure.

Oh believe me she is looking forward to that :lol: Thank you :thumbsup:
 
I believe our specs are different further north. Probably because of the snow load.
I bet you are right, because all the metal buildings here for farmers and businesses are dun this way, very strong there are 2 2x4 in each run between the rafters Mike, and the metal roofing is a heavy gage :thumbsup:

When I got my building permit I ask what the codes were and they said they didn't care how I built it.
 
You must be out in the county then ? Build it tuff for a long happy life :thumbsup:
I live in a very small town and I did build it a little over kill. It's 28' x 40' with a 12' side wall and just like what you did Mike all tin.
 
Morning everyone.
One day closer to the weekend.

($4.000.00 new) I am a blessed man on the hill here in Arkansas :thumbsup:

Sorry Mike I meant 12' tall, I'm 6" deep but well insulated.
Don't need ac in the garage would only need it a few days a year. But where you live you seldom use heat I would guess.
 
Here in northest Arkansas yesterday it was 97 degrees outide, 105 in the shop at 2pm. humidity was 89 percent in the shop at the I started up the used unit and it runs perfect. two hours later the humidity was 53 percent and 77 degrees :thumbsup: memikie is a happy camper :thankyou::thankyou:

The time and cash (500.00) for the unit and a couple hundred getting it up and running is very cheep for this 3 tone unit. another step is dun, now to pipe a supply vent (14") and build a return filter box
