In this video I’ll go over all the steps for building a shop or garage for automotive work. I’ll start by explaining the foundation work including grading, footings, rebar, compaction than I’ll include the work for framing the building including base rails, posts, hat channels, beams from there how to put together roof trusses, how to raise them and install them on the posts than onto installing reflective insulation, sheeting on the sides, sheeting for the roof and finally installing trim pieces as well.

Great job, that looks like a lot of work, especially in July 🥵🔥🌡
I have never seen any metal roofing cut after it is in place (your gable end walls). That is really doing it the hard way. I don't envy you hanging over the edge to do it either. In tight spaces at times a man lift can be a better option as the bucket rotates to place the truss. Makes it ideal for precise placing in tight areas. For light work like that they are perfect and have plenty of load capacity to lift the truss especially as you do it from ground operation unless you have three or more people. Good thing it worked out pretty well for you as wind can ruin a lot of expensive metal in a hurry. I liked your rebar schedule but I go #5 or #6 so that the clods placing it have a harder time tromping it to the ground between dobes (for that reason I place them at every intersection as well). They don't pull that on commercial jobs with inspectors there that have the contractor jack hammer any substandard out at their own cost but the homeowner has a very hard time finding a contractor and crew that know what they are doing and do it conscientiously. Too late now but I also would have put a grid of steel in your lift footings and tied that to the slab grid to spread the load. You are going to enjoy the space for sure.
Spend the money on a challenger. I’ve worked in shops and used almost every kind of lift. Rotary, challenger, Mohawk, bendpak, atlas. The challengers were always my favorite by far.
Awesome 👍 man, your own work shop, and building by the way you want it,is amazing…
Lookin good!
Congrats , ผมก็ฝันที่จะทำแบบนี้เลย
