What are the measurements? What size doors are you putting in it?

nu2-72 · 11-10-2003, 07:34 PM

Off work today at 2:00 and home by 2:30. This was at the drive.

nu2-72 · 11-10-2003, 07:36 PM

Unloaded the first stack of girts and purlins.

nu2-72 · 11-10-2003, 07:38 PM

Set off the walk doors and the panel.

nu2-72 · 11-10-2003, 07:40 PM

All the roof panel and frame next.

nu2-72 · 11-10-2003, 07:43 PM

Insulation is on the next load and the overhead doors are on special order. Should be here Thursday or sooner.

nu2-72 · 11-10-2003, 07:53 PM

The size is 40 X 70. End wall 1 has a 12' tall X 14' wide overhead and a walk door. The side wall has two 10' tall X 12' wide overhead doors and a walk door.
Bathroom is 7' X 9' finished and will have minimum toilet, shower and sink. The shop is to be divided into a 35' X 40' work (dirty) area. All prep is done there.
The other half will be a 26' X 35' assembly/storage area for vehicles and the rear is 14' X 35' clean/ paint room. The paint area will totally enclosed with ceiling. This will provide the second floor area.
Outside is 4' wainscote in Green with Tan upper and Green roof and trim.
This is a purchased building but set up to my specs.
Will include security, fire system. (for Randy70-C10) I read your other post.LOL
And yes I plan on a hoist and rotisserie. Maybe an overhead crane system.

*Randy70C-10* · 11-10-2003, 08:05 PM

Wow, that's huge!

And a bathroom too?
