My new Building/Garage

[Swampdog]

I am building a 20X30 pole building that attaches to my current Garage.

Trying to figure out how to get more than one picture in a post. My upload file button is gray out. Looks like it won't work but it does.

that is going to be a nice little shop. Congrats

I built a 23x32 shop at my house and I sure love my shop. About to have a friend spray foam the inside.

I am wrapping this one with the blanket stuff. Right now I don't think I'll ever heat it or A/C it.

Right now mine is not heated or cooled. I would like to one day get it heated and cooled when working in the shop. The winter time I use a torpedo heater.

Put in heat & air as soon as you can. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it. Summers and winters in Wisconsin can be brutel. Love my heat and air. Congrats on your new garage. The space is never enough. Make as big as you can. Post more pics as things get done.

30x40 insulated and heat in the floor, jones'in for a/c although it's pretty tolerable if I keep it closed up.
A 4 post lift was some of the best money I could have spent, working under the dash while standing beats laying down.

Like the car.

Finished 9-20-16. Getting ready to do the wiring and build the mother of all work benches.

 

[hulkamania]

Nice looking shop. I was able to find some very nice work benches at a local auction. I am about to change out my standard 4 foot light bulbs with LED.

 

[Swampdog]

I have my house about 95% LED's and I have been considering LED's. It seams with fluorescents is always flickering and at 10 feet up in the air it is harder to change them.

Have done the LED conversion to my flourescents in my shop. I like them a lot

 

[Swampdog]

Working on Wiring. Got my meter base and mast and circuit breaker box set got 6 each 4500 lumen (40 watts) hung. Fitting with the Parish zoning commission because I didn't get a pre pour slab inspection. They won't give the OK to the electric company to install my service.

Good for you. Looks great.

 

[old round fart]

Bet if you pay for the inspection you get the permit! It's all about the money!

 

[Bagman]

Shop is looking great!

 

[Swampdog]

right now I have $370 in permits.

 

[T-Test]

Forgetting one permit can really cost you. I know a man who did just as you and had to dig up his newly poured concrete floor and start over. Not the building which he had permits for. Permits are specific to every part of a building/house/shop. It's all about the money AND the CODES in you State/County

That's what I like about where we live. No codes, no building inspector. Just go build what you want. The only thing is the electrical has to be inspected
