Building a new shop.
1 Attachment(s)
In the process of building a 30x36 with 14ft eves pole barn style shop. Figured I would post some pics for people that are interested. I'm doing most of the work myself with help from family and friends. I will post pics as it progresses. I just got done getting the site level on Saturday. The shop kit is being delivered next Tuesday.

Congrats!
Always fun watching them come together, even more fun making the space work for your needs. |
Re: Building a new shop.
How is the foundation being laid out?

Few pics....no real work done but materials and a lift I borrowed from a friend have arrived. I will be augering holes Saturday for the post. Hope to see some post standing next week.

Re: Building a new shop.
So you're auguring the holes in, then pouring the slab around the posts? What holds the building to the slab besides gravity? Building codes are quite a bit different here in Calif

Look small when they go up don't they? I am going to be limited by my property lay out when I build to a 30x40 (maybe 42) I need 28' deep on the inside.

Re: Building a new shop.
Where I am, I am limited to twice the square footage of the house in total of out buildings. So, 3000 sq ft of out buildings. Includes everything, even the well house, chicken coup, you get the idea. Besides that my property is mostly on a hill side so I am limited by the amount of hillside I can remove also.

Got a few walls of metal up and going to finish the others this week. If it would be helpful I can take the time to list out most of the expenses that it took to build this when done. The unknowns have added up but staying pretty much on budget

Getting closer.......picked up a heat pump system and a 2 post car lift and got the man door installed. Waiting on the garage doors and the PUD to hook the power up.

Good looking building. Congratulations on the progress!

Re: Building a new shop.
Please sell me your SWB K-10 if you need some $$$ for your project. Nice looking building, I am jealous of that too. ☺

Got the doors put up. This was my first time installing doors, first one took 6hrs 2nd one took 3 hrs. I went with the roof pitch door track to keep it up and out of the way for the 2post lift.

Re: Building a new shop.
Very nice :). So if you wanted to insulate the interior walls, how would you do that on a steel building?

I bought a heat pump unit for the shop and a 2-post Challenger 10,000 pound lift. I will get the electrical run to the shop after elk season and call the PUD to get it hooked up to the meter. I got a good deal on a new HVAC unit that you see installed on the modular school classrooms from a friend. Never been around them so I hope it does a good job. I wont really know until I get it insulated but that may not happen until 2018 as the money reserve for this project is running near the bottom . Its like the one attached in the pics.
