| | New Shop, sort of... Floor.. Photo Update 11/13 Name: John City: Jefferson City State: TN County: Jefferson Join Date: Nov 2008  07-18-2009, 05:55 PM
OK, I am building a new shop, is should be 70 x 28 with a garage door at one end. It will also double as the support for the walls of our new house. Yes, this is a basement, full daylight on two sides and will be shop and working garage as there is also a garage on the main level that will be for parking.
We have started the task of clearing the lot so now I am willing to start sharing the progress.
This is also somewhat of a gloat because we had a lot of large old white/red oaks that had to make way for the house and I got a mill to saw it for 1/2 the product. I am going to get a LOT of lumber! .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")  :

= 4.12 over 180 days | Floor Trusses.. Photo Update 10/30
We got the floor trusses delivered yesterday and installed today. I got one person to help me and rented a scissor lift to move the trusses around the basement and set them in place. It worked great. 
First trusses set at 9:30 am. That's not me in the lift. 
Last truss set at 3:06. Not too bad for a rookie and one helper. 
No walls, columns or posts in the basement. Total free form. The same is true on the main level.

I built a shop years ago with 8' ceilings, being limited by code to overall height of the building and hated it when I was finished because I couldn't lift a piece of plywood straight up. I had all of my DC piping in the ceiling as well as compressed air, but lighting had to be below the beams to eliminate shadows and it drove me nuts.
The shop looks great.

= 4.12 over 180 days | Man o Man, am I lucky
My son spent some of his block leave after returning from Iraq with us and helped me with the house. We got the OSB on the basement Monday, and got rained out on Tuesday.  
Wednesday morning, I fell through the trusses and made a perfect landing on the concrete below. A 10 foot fall. I am battered and bruised all down my right side, from elbow to hip, but nothing broken. I decided we needed help and got some. Two pros kept me busy with the nail gun and we finished the floor this morning.

I'm glad you didn't break anything, that could've been one BAD fall!
It's shaping up and looking good!

Well, tell your son I am proud of him twice - once for his service to our country and the second time for helping dad out! Glad to hear you are OK after your little fall! The shop is looking great! | |
