Are you still rolling trusses?  Let me know if you need a hand, I'm off work this week Holiday and maintenance shutdown.

Man, the shop is really coming along Cody. It looks awesome! You got mad skills!  At least you have the ability to do all the work yourself. I'd have to pay someone to do about 90% and the rest, I'd probably screw up!!  Hope you find your saw!! It's probably right where you left it!

I found the saw.  It was right next to Jeff's keys.  Guess I must of put the saw with the keys when I was trying hide them.

Great work,those trusses had to cost alot,especially with 2x12 chords.Is the ceiling height 16'?

[Cuda Cody]

I had to go with 2x12's at 19.2" oc to get the floor live load I wanted.  The ceiling is 20' clear.  The trusses cost WAY more than I hoped they would.  Those and concrete were the two things that cost the most.

8 Month UPDATE....

About 1/2 way done with the shop now and the outside is ready for paint.  I'll be installing the 14' x 16' garage door next week and then I can turn my attention to doing some interior wiring until the weather gets a little nicer outside.  In a couple months I'll paint the outside, pour the driveway along with some stamped concrete, stone BBQ and a big outdoor propane fireplace.  Then I'll put stone on the lower 3' of the stem wall below the siding and be done with all the outside stuff.

Next winter I'll work on the inside.

Wow Cody! That's not a garage, that's a shrine- a damn big and oh so sweet one, at that. Love the under-eave lighting, very nice. Did you make it dimable? I can't imagine how nice it'll be when you're done. Great work! Ian
