I bet you do how is your shop coming?

I bet you do how is your shop coming?
All the floor heating materials will be here Tuesday. I will get it laid out and concrete poured within the next couple weeks. Between a new baby and getting called into work all the time, I seem to be a little behind schedule.

Oh poo...more shop envy.

Looks good, keep the pics coming.

Bill

been a while, been busy with work and here at home. We got water and electric trenched in last weekend, mightymax222 has started adding fill, and we are planning on getting the floor ready for concrete this weekend and maybe pour one evening next week.

didnt get much done tonight, got a form built for a box drain and drank some beer!

Fill is in, insulation is down, now for wire, tubes and concrete!

Shop sure is looking good! If there is anything I can do lend a hand or if you need an extra hand sometime, feel free to give me a call!

Will do Mark, and I havent forgot about the dually;)

just dont tell your buds about the lift. i have one in my shop and there is always my friends or my brothers buds in there. i also have heat in the floor . you will love it wen your crawling around on the floor.

Most of them all know about the lift. Friends are friends, but business is business;)

ive noticed several of you guys that are building shops construct the building then go back and pour the concrete floor.. why are you goin that route as opossed to slab first then the frame building??? are there benifits doing it that way??

I cant answer that, just the way its done around here.

Tubing down, bring on the concrete

Nice!!! :rockit:..............I know how excited you are, when is the pour?

one evening next week. Still have to put the tubing in pvc elbows, where they are going to come out of the floor, and build forms around my hydrant and water into the bathroom.

Looks like it's coming along very nicely! The floor heat sure looks nice! Can't wait to see more pics and the shop in person some day!

Can be done both ways. If the building is up you can pour the concrete on a rainy day and you dont have to put all those forms up. It is fast easy and very common around here.

Hey Riley! Just checking in to see how everything is coming along with the new shop?!

concrete is in, parking/ driveway is done. I leave for vegas in the morning, but I think some of the wiring is going to be done While I am gone. I just got done working nights friday morning,(was on nites for 2 weeks) so i wasnt in the mood to get updated pics on here.

Just curious how the shop/garage was coming along? Hopefully all is well!

Man that thing is going to be sweet! can't wait to build my shop.

update ,pics???

:Dhere are a few pics, all the wall insulation is up, and waiting on some more green to get my wall metal bought, but the boiler is running

you lucky dog ;)

Would you mind telling use what this cost? My dad is looking onto building one next year. I want him to so I can use it lol.

that shop looks great..

by the time I get my wall metal up, I will be about 55-60k, which includes new electric service, and built a drive way.

Looking good!!! I fired up my floor heat at 6pm Saturday night:beerchug:.......slab was 22*F, slab temp was up to 55*F by 3PM Sunday. I don't have the ceiling in yet either:eek::D...

its great I am planning on leavin it set at 55, perfect to work in

That is a great setup and looking very good! As I know we've talked and you know, insulation is a huge key in keeping the building heated and cool. Never skimp on insulation! Looks like a great place to have an 08 dually parked for a few hours to get some work done! haha. Shop is looking great bud!

definately a good place for an 08 dually, soon. ;)

Hows the shop coming along?

Nice looking shop! Where in Illinois are ya?

Robinson, got about a wall and a 1/4 to get my interior metal on, and it will be done.

What kind of insulation are you going to use in the attic? Shop looks great.

blown in fiberglass 18" deep

new pics ???

will get some up soon been busy

busy enjoying that shop i bet ;)

Just checking out your post... shop looks good. I was in Robinson on Friday for dinner and a movie. Your power been out?

yah we lost it tuesday afternoon at about 3:30, and got it back Saturday around 11:00 am. 20 gal of diesel a day in a welder/generator was gettin quite expensive

Bad deal man. Glad you got it back

me too dont realize how much we take for granted until its gone.

Very nice place! You are certainly doin it right with the heat and insulation. Jelous...

maybe i missed them, but did you ever ost any pics??
