A Long Time Coming

 This summer was crazy busy. I was running out of room in my garage with all the equipment I have been collecting or want to collect, so I put up a new building. This was an experience and a half doing, and with anything I do, I learned a lot. As with anything there are things I would have done differently.

 received my building just as you see it here.  I am a working stiff and doing the labor myself was a must, if I were to obtain a building the size that I wanted without breaking the bank.


Poles are in the ground and framing can begin.


A friend and I worked on this after work in the mornings (we worked 3rd shift)  and it took about a week to be ready for the foam and concrete.


The red lines is the tape holding the 2″ High density foam together the white is the 1/2″ pex, and the brown is the re-bar on 2′ centers.


Here the roof is half tinned.


Here we are about mid-day through tining the shop.  We were able to finish with the sheets that day and trim it out the following week.



Above is how I decided to put the baffles in.  The baffles prevent the blown in fiberglass insulation from packing between the ceiling and the roof.  A gap between the roof and baffle is needed for ventilation throughout the year.
