Are you putting in garage doors where the header panels are for the part of the garage that has the roof up?

Your shop is HUGE!!!!

Thanks Craig! As of right now the plan is to put some sort of home made "barn" doors on the paint room side and we're thinking of a clear plastic strip hanging curtain deal for the machine room. We made the rough openings big just in case we changed our minds on anything. The paint room opening is wide enough to get our trailer shoved in without too much trouble.

Sam and I are on our way back from a Chevelle road trip to Goodguys Charlotte and he's driving so I thought I would do a quick update.

Setting trusses has been a bigger job than we had hoped. With the help of a couple of young guys from my National Guard unit, Kaytlin's new father-in-law and of course Deb and Sam it is really not hard to get them lifted up in place, but running the purlins for the metal roof takes forever!





This was a week ago at the end of the day. All our help came over after church so we got a late start.


This is what the lazy dogs do when they are not chasing a tennis ball while we're building. Good shot of the 66 too.


And this is what it looks like now. Actually this was at the end of the day on Wednesday. Two more trusses to go and I will build my own gable. Hopefully it will happen pretty quick this week.

Nice progress. That's going to be a great shop.

Thanks Wayne and Todd! It is definitely our dream shop. Just a lot of work between the dream and a functioning building...
