My Dream Shop 48x100

[Meyers Farms]

maybe later i have a lot on my plate at the moment daughter was diagnosed with Wilms cancer and that has slowed everything down

Never a good thing to hear. As a father of two girls myself I'm sure that is gut wrenching. We will pray for you and your family.

Shop is looking great! Will the interior walls be skinned with metal siding? Or are you doing something else on those?

So on your framing.....are you going to double plate the top? And why no headers above your doors? Are those stud length boards or are they taller?

So all the material you see. It is from the shop build that was left over. There is not a double top board as of now. Due to seeing how far i can go with the lumber before i have to buy any. Same goes for the Door headers
the walls are 10ft tall My dad actually asked why they are so tall I said to reduce waste :lolly:

We appreciate it very much. God has been really great and he defiantly has not left our side.

Thanks on the Shop the interior walls will be completely covered in white sheet metal just like the rest of the building.

A regular shower but lets say working on a truck on the lift. You get covered in diesel fuel due to incident and need to rinse off. I don't want to go to my new house. So i will have a shower in the shop to clean up something similar to this.

Man that looks like wonderful ground to dig a ditch through. Too many jobs right now with buried junk and rock.

I may have missed it, but what size service did you end up with? Looks like 200A 240v?

Damn, that would be nice! I grew up in the area known a flint ridge, seemed like you'd get more rock than dirt in the shovel on occasion! Think the last couple ditches dug out there were mostly done with a matock instead on a shovel!

ya its good but like damn concrete with a shovel i did a 400amp main to the house. 200 to the shop and 200 to house

Sounds good. Being my profession, I'm always curious.

I did a 200a on buddy's shop. Smaller shop but a ton of equipment and zero issues after 3 years with room to grow I feel.

my previous shop only had a 60amp service. So I was limited on what i could do. But i had bought the 200amp wire to run to it but never did. So i had the wire to run this one on hand
