Shop build (I hope)

The way you've presented this might give some the confidence to build their own.  A nice simple design.  Motivated builders would just need a little money and elbow grease.  Lets see how we do on the utilities though...great progress so far!

Thanks for the comments all, I am having fun, but wearing myself out...lol.  My neighbour pounds in nails for a living, so he is great to have around.  He is busy for a while, so I am doing a bunch of small stuff for a bit.  I just got a mini scaffold that ought to come in handy, ladders are not my friend with the way my knee is, and now is the time I need to get up off the floor a bit.  An 18" wide platform is much better than a ladder rung to stand on.

Yes, the finished ceiling will be on the 2 x 6 collar ties, giving me almost and extra foot. Just enough to prevent a light being taken out when flipping an 8 footer end for end.

I wish I had that kind of head room in my shop, I got 7' to the bottom of the joists, by the time you add lights I lose 4 more inches. There's no up ending sheet goods in my shop :(
