Hey Jobby, 

At 110 degrees, that slab must have hardened enough overnight to be walkable!  I like your shop size.  It should be perfect for a one-man show.

What happened to your plans of moving to the Pacific Northwest?

Looking good.

Is the bump out going to be mechanical space. HVAC, air compressor, dust collector, etc.

It's great when you can get that stuff out of the shop area, especially for the reduction in noise from the compressor and dust collection.

Bump out is for storage stuff i dont want in the garage so we can park in it.

Once I finish the shop a storage shed is next.

Ill build that myself. Ill use the bump out for things that i dont want in the shop itself. maybe even make a office out of it, put my fridge, microwave, coffee pot, water cooler etc etc.

I only use a small 1 hp senco compressor, my HVLP is turbine, my tools are all electric (99% festool).

Im going to be building a lot of storage cabinets for the garage you know water bottles, drinks, TP, paper towels you know....

Clever with the bump out.. Makes me think that general garage owners here should have a peak in here to se how a garage should and could look like, and more importantly see how much (nice) stuff that actually can fit in a garage utilising the walls and overhead. And most will even fit two cars if the precious tools are wheeled to the side [wink]. The common sight: an enormous pile on the floor, and a small week cleaning out before one car can fit inside, which is never done.

Looking forward to how you decide the layout.
I miss my late garage..

What's the scoop on the exterior and the roof? Stucco? Shingle, tile, metal?

Looking good so far. Isn't it 115 or something out there?

Outside is going to be stucco. Since I bought a new house I wanted the shop to match the house exactly. So it will be stucco same stucco used on my home , same with roof tiles and windows. Ill be building some outbuilding like a green house storage shed etc etc Im not concerned about tem matching the house but the shop yes

 

[sancho57]

Started setting the trusses at 0600 this morning were there all day. Ill take more photos tomorrow. Last time I checked around 4 pm looked like they were about done with everything.

Getting closed in is always a milestone.  The Amish crew that did mine put the trusses up sans crane from the ground, so guys (and kids, 12 and 14 year sons) were working beasts.  Foam installers knocked my building out Wednesday.  Waiting for 10' x 9' overhead door installed and commercial steel 42" door and frame ordered.  Moved in equipment that I could chain up or put into job box and hung one row of LED light strips.  Powered lights with Honda EU2200 since power not run yet.  Heading to Lowes to pick up 30 sheets of 1/2" ply to put ceiling and wall where wifey will park her chariot.  I'll end up with 22' x 30' shop space.
