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.

This was an absolutely awesome video!
Congratulations on your project. A lot of hard work. Great information. Looking forward to the next steps. Good luck with everything.
Love you bro, you're the man. Such an inspiration what you've been up to the last 10 years
Very nice job. It looks like you are proud of that shop/building. 🙂 I would be.
Having the concrete finished smooth on my home workshop turned out to be a mistake, in my opinion. Oil spills will penitrate deep into bare concrete, no matter smooth or not. You can clean the top with solvents, but you will not be able to remove the stain. Absorbing agents help if used first; solvents just drive the stains deeper even though the top will be clean, but the stain will still be there. Pressure washers won't work either once it's penitrated the surface on the stain but will clean the top surface. Although being too aggressive with a pressure washer will actually damage the top surface of the concrete and the stain will still be there. In my opinion, if you want an nice non stained shop floor where oil will not penitrate and is easily wiped clean then an apoxy finish is the answer. And a smooth finished concrete is not a good start or preparation for applying apoxy. It would be better if the concrete is finished with a slight grain to it, so the epoxy paint will adhere better. So, my smooth finished concrete shop floor now needs to be diamond disc sanded to aid in the application of apoxy. Of course, if you want it to be just clean on the surface and don't care about the stain, then yes, finish it off smooth when the concrete is poured.
I'm always down for a little Junior High humor!
Congrads, awesome project, @1st i was expecting you to pour your own slab – my guess is the slab was priciest part – They Did a Great Job- been their, done that
Every time i see your videos, it seems you have blue scrubs (or different color)on. I guess i should turn up the screen light. LOL
That's awesome!!! Glad to see your project build well on its way to completion. It looks really good, job well done!!!
Don't see any natural illumination.
