Nice shop MeMike, and sounds like your boy's are top notch. I hope you enjoy your new shop as much as I enjoy mine. please keep us posted on building Victoria and please send more pic's on that daily driver p/u you have.
I missed your post GI like it a lot. We have very similar shops now! I don't have a pic showing the roof, but it is brown.

memmike, I know this is my dumb, but I would like to learn new construction techniques, so do you mind if I ask: What is it about your roofing system that allows it to get by with less support between the rafters than I would normally expect to see? Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
All to Speck here in Arkansas, all or most metal buildings go this rout
I was lucky to see this unit for sale here in town, 5 tones of a/c and heat (Heat pump package unit) for the shop for $500.00. my oldest son stepped up and bought it, and I just finished forming up and pouring 800 lbs of concrete Now to buy some 8 gage thnn stranded wire and buy a thermostat

It's looking good Mike. When it's all done your wife will never see you much because you will be in the shop.I was lucky to see this unit for sale here in town, 5 tones of a/c and heat (Heat pump package unit) for the shop for $500.00. my oldest son stepped up and bought it, and I just finished forming up and pouring 800 lbs of concrete

I stay in mine more than the house for sure.
I believe our specs are different further north. Probably because of the snow load.
I bet you are right, because all the metal buildings here for farmers and businesses are dun this way, very strong there are 2 2x4 in each run between the rafters Mike, and the metal roofing is a heavy gage
When I got my building permit I ask what the codes were and they said they didn't care how I built it.I bet you are right, because all the metal buildings here for farmers and businesses are dun this way, very strong there are 2 2x4 in each run between the rafters Mike, and the metal roofing is a heavy gage
You must be out in the county then ? Build it tuff for a long happy life
Looks darn good, BUT don't you know sweating IS healthy!!!!!! Heat is for sissies too.
Around here, removing the humidity is the key. 85° and dry is quite comfortable.

Sure is better than a window open with a fan running.
I live in a very small town and I did build it a little over kill. It's 28' x 40' with a 12' side wall and just like what you did Mike all tin.You must be out in the county then ? Build it tuff for a long happy life
To cold up here to sweat barbee. Well compared to where you live.
Did that for many years CF but now I got AC. Well in the house not the garage.
Morning everyone.
One day closer to the weekend.
One day closer to the weekend.

Good morning from here in the deep south where it is 74 degree's already this morning 86 % humidity, I lived 60 years with out it in a shop, not going to complain about having it now, plus ! it's not everyday a man can buy a $2.000 dolor package unit for $500. ($4.000.00 new) I am a blessed man on the hill here in Arkansas
Wow !! 12" thick !! I bet that keeps the cold outside
Sorry Mike I meant 12' tall, I'm 6" deep but well insulated.Wow !! 12" thick !! I bet that keeps the cold outside
Don't need ac in the garage would only need it a few days a year. But where you live you seldom use heat I would guess.

Very nice...enjoy
Here in northest Arkansas yesterday it was 97 degrees outide, 105 in the shop at 2pm. humidity was 89 percent in the shop at the I started up the used unit and it runs perfect. two hours later the humidity was 53 percent and 77 degrees memikie is a happy camper 
The time and cash (500.00) for the unit and a couple hundred getting it up and running is very cheep for this 3 tone unit. another step is dun, now to pipe a supply vent (14") and build a return filter box
