estesbubba Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thanks guys. When we moved from town to our acreage almost 6 years ago, I went from a 24x24 garage to a 22x22. It doesn't sound like much but is almost 20% smaller plus I have more equipment now. I also seem to do larger projects now so the new space is going to be nice. I honestly didn't think this would happen until I retired but some friends helped my over-thinking and put things in perspective. Most cars cost more than this shop and it will add value to our property and not depreciate like a car. Plus we can now use our garage as a garage again which will be nice. Hopefully this thread isn't still alive in 2 years because that will probably mean I'm still finishing the inside! At least now I'm done waiting on other people and I can work on it.

estesbubba Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I alternated 2 sheets of OSB to get my UTS to the new shop. Might be a good way to do machinery since they're all on mobile bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Great idea, have used it with everything up to Lull lifts. Glad to see you already moving in to get cracking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Ultimate (blank) station? Am I close? Not sure what that means either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Not so much jealous as completely and utterly gobsmacked. It's bigger than my house I think I would need a map to find my way around it. I can see some mighty fine work coming out of this estesbubba.

Cochese Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't know if I'm more jealous of the size (the difference between his first shop and second shop is about the size of my shop) or the fact it has electricity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzdadoc Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 That is just incredible!!!!! I'd imagine it's like Christmas there all the time!!!! Can't wait for pics with everything in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Got more done over the weekend than I thought I would and it would have been more if I didn't pick up and put together my new table saw. After paying for it 4 months ago and waiting for the new shop to have concrete, it was time for it to come home. Also having a puppy means 100% attention when he's awake unless you want stuff destroyed! I ran a lot of Romex for the wall circuits, asked if I had enough outlets, then ran some more! I still have to run for the lights, ceiling outlets, and outdoor outlets. Right now none of this is live except for what the electrician did. Before starting on the insulation I used window foam insulation in the ridge gaps to help keep critters out of the walls. The R-19 insulation I got is in 5' x 41' rolls which is perfect as each of the sections between my posts is 10' x 10'. I cut two 5' x 10' sections and sandwiched between a 2x4 and 1x3 which made hanging a breeze with 2 people. After that I put up the furring strips which was easy for the non-window walls. The windows walls will require a little more work (and maybe a lot more thinking, which is never good). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Fantastic job! If your studs are 10' apart, then your joists are too. I guess you'll be using furring strips there as well for the sheetrock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weithman5 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 are you not required to run electricity in conduit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 There appears to be no vapor barrier under your roof metal the under side of the metal will sweat and, drops of water will get on equipment and cause moldy situations in ceiling insulation and sheeting (sheet rock,OSB, or plywood). In my neck of the woods we use 1 1/2" insulation bat between the metal and the framing and the metal, pulled tight to reduce sag this insulation has a white vinyl face this stops the condensation on the bottom of the metal. Some people sheet the roof with 7/16" OSB and,use tar paper as a vapor barrier between the metal and sheeting. If your walls have no vapor barrier they will sweat also and, the moisture will soak into the fiber glass bats which will cause a mold situation. Good luck with the shop I have a pole barn shop myself. You can see the vapor barrier to the left of my metal roof skin also the same VP on the side walls.

Chuck Melton Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The UTS plans are awesome, have you shared them on here before? I wish I saw them before I built my miter saw station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'll be using furring strips there as well for the sheetrock? The spacing on my ceiling is 5x10. I thought about running 2x4s every 24" between the 5' span. Furring strips over would be easier but wonder if they would have enough strength? are you not required to run electricity in conduit? The wires above the panel are not live and won't be exposed.

..Kev Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I would check before you hang anything from your trusses that they were designed to carry that load. For my building, it was something I had to specifically ask for when ordering my trusses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my building, it was something I had to specifically ask for when ordering my trusses. I had my trusses engineered for a ceiling load but, I think that was just an on paper adjustment because it didn't seem to me that there was any extra webbing I had a 36' clear span so the 2x6 bottom cord doesn't seem to me to be overbuilt, so if your inspection is finalized a ceiling load probably would be fine.
