OT - father/son project building a shop

My dad came by yesterday and helped me get started on framing up a
24X30 shop I'm building in the back yard. Man, he's a hard worker! I
had trouble keeping up with him. Here's the work in progress and I'll
update the page as I get more done to the shop. Gonna be cool when
this is finished. http://www.employees.org/~travist/shop/shop.html

Nothing like doing a nice project with your dad! ;-)
Looks good. Are you planning for a lift inside?

Man, I wish we could use a floating slab. It would make a new garage
affordable.

Wish ya luck. At least you will have something more comfortable than a Dog
House for those, ah, difficult times. Eh?

It's a "monolithic slab." 4 inches thick in the center and about 12
inches thick around the edges. I got some more done on it today.
Finished the last wall and framed it for a 36" door, and got the OSB
sheathing stuff up on about 70% of one wall. It's gonna be 24X30 with
10' walls. Using trusses with 4/12 span so it will be 14' high in the
center at the highest point. It feels pretty big when I stand in it
right now. Gonna box off a 12X12 section of it in the back corner and
insulate that and set it up for a home office kind of thing. That's
the eventual plan, but first gotta just get the walls, roof, and doors
in. Man, that's hard work. "My desk job is showing." *groan* :-)
Two more inspections to go. Trusses get delivered this coming up
Friday and I plan on trying to get them in place and the sheathing up
there and at least tar paper on the roof. Oh, no, not going to put a
lift in there. :-) Just added a couple of pictures. Here's the last
one:

to say that word. heh heh
