It amazes me how fast some of the builders work. :thumbsup:

It's almost like these guys want to get paid or something! lol

Headers and cripples are in. This week will be shear and trusses. It's starting to look like something now.

Shop is coming along nicely! I'm sure it's close to having a roof by now at the rate it's been going up!

Seeing your progress gives me a good feeling all over.

:D

It's coming along nice. Got to love those light weight blocks :peepwall:

The availability of the framer has been a bit off this week and last. They got 7 trusses up though which look pretty sharp. I'll update again Friday.

man I felt those bad boys for a week after that. lol

i like the dedicated work area off to the right side

yeah that's gonna be my little metal fab area. I'm gonna line the walls in 1/8 inch white plastic plate for grinding and welding spark protection. There will be 240 down that wall as well as the back wall as well as a multitude of 110 outlets. Now if I can figure out how to turn that new TIG machine on......

Trusses are up. Onto more shear and brackets.

About time for a update Dave...

Yeah that^ I somehow missed the Trusses up post too... Probably has a roof on it by now. :D

Ok back on track lol. Started a new job this week so I've been slammed with getting up to speed.

We are ready for inspection 2 for shear, framing, and roof sheeting which will happen this afternoon. The framers did an awesome job ensuring everything was as tight and crisp as possible. Now it's my turn to get up there and roof this pig. Good thing it's 107*! Harness up!

Looks great! It is very much like a bit smaller version of mine. What are the outside dimensions of it again?

And how tall is the peak of the roof on the ends?

Mine is about 25' tall and I had to do a ton of bracing afterward because the wind would move the end walls in and out several inches. Of course I had garage door right in the middle of those walls which made things difficult.

Good luck roofing, just had mine re-done as well. I hired it out!! :D

I really like the way the trusses are inside. Great head room!

That's looking good!! Getting exciting now!!!!

Thanks, the roof peak is 20'. I got up there yesterday and it's not for me lol. I'll sub that roofing out. My framers put in diagonal braces which made all of the difference. Do you have those?

Dang! Looks good!

There were a couple diagonal braces on each end, but I added many more to secure the end walls in place. I'm in a high wind area and the big doors right in the middle of each end wall made them weaker and easier to move. Once braced up better they were fine.

And I hear ya on the roof, good call... :idea:

I just realized you're in Kansas so yeah- that's serious wind out there.

A little less than 3 months until the wedding. Siding goes up next after the Tyvek is all done.

been awhile since a post- so here's an update. PB smoked my photos which is super cool but whatever.

Got the Tyvek wrapped up and the siding all finished. After that was paint, then roofing, then trim. Painting was the hardest part of this build. With the walls being so high, and the wall in the back, every inch had to be painted on a ladder. Took me almost a week to finish it with two heavy coats.

We put an attic fan in for air movement which was pretty cool. This thing creates a light breeze in the shop and blows that blanket of hot air up top out. I'm going to install some side vents as well to aid in the hot air removal.

Once the windows and trim went in, it really started to feel like something. This is late August when it was 112* here. I worked on it every night after work into the dark to make the wedding date. My brother owns a high end garage door company and put in the Carriage House doors I ordered. He did what's known as a "high vertical lift" to keep the shop as open as possible. Dude is a wizard.

I ran all of the electrical and laid the outlets the way I wanted them. I put power everywhere and 240V outlets in every corner. Rick Davis wired it and set me up perfectly for me. He'll be an LG member very soon. Aimee and I insulated the walls and laid up the 4x12 sheets of rock. She and I taped and textured the shop. This took us almost a week alone at night until late.

After paint, the outlets went in and the box was terminated.

four days later, it was wedding time! We wanted something really laid back so it was jeans, boots, BBQ catering, and Buck Ford and the Pure Country band. Was a hell of a way to christen the new ship.

An hour after we got home from our honeymoon- it was on. I used the Rustoleum Rock Hard epoxy on this shop. Last time I used the standard stuff they peddle and found it so-so. This stuff is no joke. It takes a little more prep, but it lays out better and seems much more dense.

Moved the '29 in for now. The Pepsi sign was my birthday gift from my wife. It's bad ass. It's 8'x8' and used to hand in the bottling plant in downtown Sacramento. She found it in the back of some shop in the south area and snagged it for me. It's stamped "Pepsi Co. Bottling plant 7, Sacramento 1960" on the back. Made some brackets and threw it up there. Two post still has to be put in and I still need to take down the mason jars we hung for the wedding and the bistro lights. I'll be using 6 T5HO housings in this shop at 17,000 lumen each. Fab area is coming together, but I still need to bring the brake and the welders in. Air still has to be plumbed, but the reel is up as is the reel for 110 power. lots to do, but I'm taking it one step at a time.

Nice update!! Shop looks great, I'm sure you all busted your butts getting it done. Love that Pepsi sign too...

You guys are doing a great job! Congratulation's on the wedding.

Thanks guys! Was a fun build. I'm so ready to build some cars now though. Lol

Congrats on your marriage.

Great thread...I like your work ethic/gettin things done. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing

Love this picture, the smiles..

Congrats!

Great thread to follow. Congrats on the union.

Still in Roseville? PM me with property details if so. My whole family relocated up there and may be looking at some fixers with land (1-2 acres), mainly for a shop LOL..

I used the Rustoleum (1st phase was beige 11 years, then went grey right over the top, 3 years ago) holds up fine on these hot Livermore days after thrashing these cars with the tires coming back boiling.

Also, what are you going to use for a driveway?, i've seen some driveways with grass through some sort of cinder block, looks great and mowable, my thought is u cant use everyday, but looks very "backyardy"

Anyways, cheers, mike

Thanks for the congratulations guys. I'm a very lucky man.

We moved to Orangevale and are much happier here. Hard to find land in Roseville anymore unless you want to pay some mega money. Orangevale is about the last hold out for land in the North area without paying millions. There are four hot rods on my street and my direct neighbor across the street restores army Jeeps. Pretty cool

As far as the terra solution, I'm just not sure. I'd like to put down pavers but they're just huge money. Gravel is a no go due to the sticky tire issues and it'll wash out due to the angle of approach I have to deal with. For now it'll be grass. I'm gonna sell my '29 and my El Camino to build the Fairlane so there won't. E much traffic on it for a couple years.

Fantastic! Great pics... must have been a fun celebration there... and congrats!

Tanks Flash. Was a blast. I put the El Camino in the shop last night and holy cow did that place get suddenly small lol.

Look for the guys doing pavers on the new homes. They paver a model homes entire front yard for people to pull in. They then remove them when they sell the model and they keep the used pavers. I had them do my 9K sq. ft. drive and lot at the shop and it was cheaper than concrete. All used pavers, so don't all match:

http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psrwxaregk.jpg

Man those look so awesome. I love pavers. Their strong, modular, and clean looking. Great insight on the model home deal. I never knew they ripped em out.

So Dave, is it done yet? Full of car's and beer in the fridge?

Joe

Beers are stocked , but are they ever really done? hahaha

Here it is with actual "car stuff" in it. It's an absolute pig sty right now as I'm still finding homes for all of my junk. Still have to bring the brake, the bead roller, and my shear in so it's gonna get interesting. The garage doors are high lifted so I've got nothing over my head but lights which are 12' high. Those are 3500k T8s which I like as they're not so blue and funky. Two post is in and works great so far. My little fab corner still needs the diamond plate for the walls to be put up, but all in due time. I sold the El Camino to a good friend and I'm just wrapping it up for him. Still need to plumb the air lines and I'm using a Max Air 1/2" flex system for that. The dryer is just sitting there and will be plumbed in a series of water trap loops as the line goes up the wall. So far, so good, Little by little it's coming together.

Looks really nice and functional, I will stop by this weekend :-)

The outside looks very cool!

hahaha do that! We keep a nice variety of beers in the fridge and I have a lime tree right around the corner loaded up.
