My toy shop/garage

Aauman88

Not the best setup out there but sure it's not the worst either. 24x40 with 9' walls. Started as a place for the mustang I built then turned into a RC workshop. Use it for woodworking and most recently have been working on lots of carts in there.

Sorry for all those but I really like my shop. My wife hated it when I was building it but now she spends just about as much time in there doing projects as I do. We have been house hunting and my 8yr old daughter asked if we could move it, lol. Wherever we move I will build another for sure

I love the shed. Is it prefabricated?

It's not prefab, it's built onsite. That's one of those "carport" type garages. You pour your slab and they build it on the slab. All steel. Very solid! I had considered that very same type of building. When I did the cost for my location, it was only $3k more for a pole building the same size, so that's what I opted for. Lots of advantages for the steel buildings like this. Really good interior height.

Very nice building!

Thanks guys. Yes it's a Carolina Carport that you design every part of online. I did probably 75% of the available upgrades for it. I stripped the inside with 2x4's and then had it spray foamed and trimmed to 8'. Then 3/4" T&G OsB stood up all around. Only problem I have had is I added the building on top of the slab before the slab was completely dried out so humidity has been an issue. Finally getting it dried out now

Oh and total I'm about $15k from concrete to building to insulating to sheeting and wiring the inside. I paid concrete guy and the actual building, I done the rest. Comparable pole building or red iron building was that much just for shell.

Carolina Carports is the exact same building I was looking at. Nice buildings. for a lot of reasons they are better, no wood, no rot, etc.

I'm wondering if your concrete guy used gravel and a vapor barrier underneath? Sometimes if the ground is wet under the concrete you'll get a lot of moisture. The vapor barrier will stop that. Just curious. But as the soil/concrete dries out it'll be fine.

Yeah vapor barrier is under concrete but it took 17 trucks of clay and then 3 trucks of topsoil to build the area up to put shop where I wanted at back of property. I put shop on and had sprayed wishing one month of pouring pad. The racks I bought had MDF boards and within 1 month there was mold growing under the boards. Fought it with little dehumidifiers for a while before actually getting a big one. Doing good now and used treated boards on racks

Very nice garage. I noticed it was spray foamed. Does the shop have AC? How much did the whole shop cost to build if you don't mind me asking? How much extra for the spray foam?

I want to build a shop soon and I want pretty much exactly what you got.
