I live deep in the jungle, a tropical rain forest, next to steaming lava fields. - It sounds more like the begining to a cheesy romance novel than a topic on an Abody site I guess?
But anyway- I am building two 40x30 slabs with a 6' gap between them- on that gap will set a 40' shipping container. I will build a wood structure same as the width and length of the container 8' high. The peak of the roof will be in the middle of that wood frame. The roof will go out with a 4' eave over the outside of the slab. There will be no walls except for the container.
A high roof is important for the heat issue- It is just a metal roof supported by rafters and perlins. I am hoping for at least 10' from slab to roof at it's lowest point. One side will be a "clean" side, the other a "dirty" side- clean for building engines etc- the other for paint and welding.
This is actually my most important project now, as I gave up the place I was renting to build this place, and NO project will be able to be worked on until I have some concrete down!
I am doing it in stages, with a 20x20 slab at first, with a 20x20 tarp structure over it.
