Building a new shop - pre-fab steel building

[JJorgensen52]

After far more time than I had ever hoped, I'm finally getting ready to build a new shop. Just as soon as the town finishes my paperwork

Anyways, details: 32'x52'x12' eaves with a 52'x'12' free span carport behind.


It'll be over a slab, of course. The first bay is going to be built out as a full bath, utility room (for HVAC, air compressor, etc), and then an "office" - which will mostly be a clean work space for electrical, manuals, and so on. And then above that, enclosed / dehumidified storage for parts!

In the process of all of this, I ended up picking up this little guy on the local craigslist:


Which was fortuitous, because I ended up needing it to unload!


14,625lbs according to the bill of lading.

Anyways, the building itself arrived in kit form Thursday. I purchased the whole assembly, including sheathing, doors, insulation and hardware, from Kentucky Steel Buildings, out of (surprise) Winchester, Kentucky.





Stay tuned, hoping to have the permits all sorted out this week and concrete going in sometime this month
