GMC JUNKIE TOO · 11-11-2003, 02:53 AM

Be shure to put in a fridge and microwave and you wont have to leave.

casey · 11-11-2003, 03:28 AM

thats going to be sweet, and acreage too, i don't have the room so I have to build up instead of having big floor space, how far is the garage from the house? and by the way, whats up with all the fords and dodges all around the job site, Randy could you post a pic of your garage again, I like the loft idea

Edmond · 11-11-2003, 09:26 AM

Man that looks great. I hope to see it in real life someday!!
I wish I had the space to build something like that.
Oh well, back to day-dreaming I guess.....

Love seeing the pictures Kevin!!
Top Notch!

Cya,
Edmond

nu2-72 · 11-13-2003, 09:28 PM

Here is what we did today.
Columns.

nu2-72 · 11-13-2003, 09:30 PM

Endwall columns and girts going on.
Purlins up top.

nu2-72 · 11-13-2003, 09:34 PM

Shaping up nicely.
And Blazerman, your area is about the size of a 68 and a Burb. And two spaces in the key box. LOL
Finish the end walls tomorrow .

nu2-72 · 11-13-2003, 09:40 PM

And Casey, I am a charitable person. Not everyone has the ability to own a Chevy. So every once in a while I try to employ the less fortunate. LOL

casey · 11-13-2003, 11:17 PM

hope you post some pics when its done, I always injoy seeing how a guy does his garage

Truck Hippy · 11-13-2003, 11:44 PM

DAM!! Are you sure thats your new shop or is it a new Wal-Mart? Looks great!!

JadeEmperor · 11-14-2003, 10:54 AM

nu-72, is that a Miracle Truss system? How do you like the setup? You guys doing all the assembly, look like your making great progress. Keep us posted. - oh so jealous right now

nu2-72 · 11-14-2003, 08:21 PM

Worldwide Building Sales, U. S. Truss Steel building.
Made here in Missouri. So far I am very pleased with it. Total open span so a lift should be no problem. Fully insulated. Open web so that lighting can be as high as I like and cast well. No need to drill or blow holes for electrical, air, water or other in the columns or RBX's. Just lay the pipe or conduit in the web. Will get a new pic tomorrow. Have the back wall covered.

mocwon · 11-14-2003, 09:30 PM

The shop looks and sounds like it will be great but what I really is the view of the hills. Great site.

nu2-72 · 11-24-2003, 09:36 PM

Been slow this week. Had a group out for the hunting season. This is what is done up to today.

nu2-72 · 11-24-2003, 09:45 PM

Waiting on two damaged wall panels and then the roof goes on. Panels should be here Friday and hope to be covered up by Saturday.
Doors on Monday and moving in.

teeitup · 11-24-2003, 10:01 PM

Looking good Kevin!!! One ??? when was the last time anyone told you that you had something huge!!!!!

Just messing with, I sure wish I had room to build one of those, especially since I got all this stuff coming in. You'll have it full in no time!!

Blue4x4 · 11-24-2003, 10:05 PM

Looks great. Any plans for a car/truck lift?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-24-2003, 10:06 PM

What an awsome shop!! I wish the contractors that did mine worked as fast as yours. Looks great and will look better with your truck inside. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

nu2-72 · 11-24-2003, 10:43 PM

Thanks guys. Wes, I remember your pain. All's well now?
Yes, I plan a lift and more.
Randy, never.LOL

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-24-2003, 10:55 PM

Yes all is well now. Well at least as good as it is going to get. My floor is not very level, but you know the saying.."When you are served lemons, make lemonaid" Now my shop is getting too small also. My inventory level is higher than it ever has been and is taking up more room than I antisapated. Hopefully my next one will go better.
Are you going to put a loft in it? I did in mine and what a difference that made. WES
