Looks nice. It was put up faster than I expected. What will you be doing for a floor?

 

[Dnorris1369]

Dustin, when I built my shop, I installed 4" PVC pipe under the floor from one common header location to 4 places in the layout. I now wish I had more stubs installed. It sure is nice not to have to deal with dust collection pipes running up to the ceiling. I don't have to worry about hitting them when cutting sheet goods on the table saw. It's very easy to do and if you change your mind later about a stub, just cut it off and put a blank over it. Of course you can't move them after the fact, so you need to be sure you know where your equipment will be sitting.

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

Yeah, it is definitely worth considering running dust collection pipe under the floor. For a shop your size, I would consider 6" pipe.

 

[Dnorris1369]

I actually considered that but I'm not 100 percent sure on machine placement. I am gonna leave the ceiling open for awhile for such things.

I've built 3 shops and the BEST thing I did was put DC and Power for table saw, planer and jointer under the slab. To me, it's as important as lighting. Being able to flip and/or spin long pieces at the table saw without worrying about hitting a vertical pipe or conduit is incredibly convenient. Consider planning where these 3 pieces will go and put in "provisional" pipe and conduit. It's cheap, easy and if you decide you don't need it - plug it.

Teamsters Union - Building Material & Construction Trade Division (BM&CTD).
Seems like a week from ground breaking to BIG buildings open for business around here. The teamsters just finished a new YMCA its a huge multi story I beam building took 1 month from ground breaking to open to the public in the dead of winter mind you. A new dollar general popped up in creal springs it took the teamsters 1 week from ground breaking to grand opening.

Maybe the Fountain of Youth isn't a fountain at all. Maybe it's a way of looking at things. A way of thinking.
