My "Toys" House

[Sickfast1964]

So we built a little shop last year. I saved for 2 yrs to build it, and paid cash for it. My wife is very suuportive of my hobby, and I am a lucky man.

Ok, we built a 24x36, 2 bay, shop. I have a loft thats 21x10 up above for storage, a small bathroom, small work area under the loft.







I did insulate the building for future heat

Momma made me put a porch on the shop for her rocking chair.

Very cool! I like the floors. What did you use? I'm still debating on doing mine when I finish construction.

[Sickfast1964]

I used the Rustoleum industrial epoxy floor paint. you can get at either lowes or home depot I think. Buy a little more than you think you will need. You wont have to be so stingy with it at the begining. Under my stair case is very thin, and there is none in the bathroom. And I used every friggin drop.

So the building is 24 deep. I wanted as much space over the work area as I cound get. So I built a beam 24 ft long to span the support. Its (2) 2x12s with a peice 3/16th steel plate sandwiched in the middle.









The supports on each side of the beam are just temp. I have 3/8 thick round post supporting them now

[Sickfast1964]

Started building the loft.

[Daddy'O]

Looking good!

[Sickfast1964]

Thanks Wayne. its been great to have the space. Wish it was bigger !!!

[duallyjams]

any garage that's bigger than mine is awesome

[Sickfast1964]

Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy I have it, but if I had the space, I would have built a min of 30x40

Very nice shop,

[rambler]

very nice shop... nice work..

[Sickfast1964]

Thanks guys. Its so full of crap right now with 2 projects going on. I had to ut my Camaro back in the main garage for a little while. My wife was pissed. lol

[Sickfast1964]

So here is the final product. his was taken before the floor was painted and the Loft was put in. But the outside is done. Only thing left is to add gutters

[Daddy'O]

Very nice!. I really dig the brick wainscot as it really ties in nicely with your home. Need pics of the Camaro.

[Sickfast1964]

I was forced to put the brick on by the city. It added about 2500 to the cost, but after it was done, I'm glad it's on there. I like the way it turned out.
