ERECTION! at long last!

[Tinbender]

Soon to be the new world headquarters of Tinbenders Rod & Custom.

[Tinbender]

One more. Yes I'm excited!

[38Chevy454]

I'm jealous......

That should be a real nice place to work in. Post more pics when it's further along.

[Bumpstick]

No local height restrictions in your neighborhood? Cool.

[Tman]

Looks like a hangar for the Graf Zeppelin!

[Harrison]

WTF you building? RV's?

Looking good.

izzat a really big garage, or a really small truck?

Yes, I'm friggin' jealous.

[Big A]

Hold the phone... where's the floor?

[wayfarer]

Congratulations, I'll have to come by and see it once it's done. BigA, on pole buildings, they pour the floor after the walls are up.

<font color="green"> I don't know if anyone else hit refresh at just the right (or Wrong, as the case may be) moment, but here's the three posts in a row that I saw...

A little bit of friction

Erection! At long last!

You shoulda seen it squirtin.


I fell out of my chair.

Oh yeah, nice shop, where IS the floor? </font>

[Big A]

Hmmm, I'm guessing you guys on the wet coast don't get the concrete heavin' ground frost that we get, eh? Offhand I don't know what code is around here, but when we poured my old man's pad we dug halfway to China.

Either way, I'm still friggin' jealous. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Always nice to have wood

[Jeff Norwell]

Very nice http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks like there might be alittle room up there in the rafters for a secret hideway. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Congrats bud, I can just imagine how excited you must be, I certainly would be.

[Smokin Joe]

Shoulda made those doors higher. You'll never squeeze that Tall-Boy Falcon Wagon in there! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wish I had a pic of the wagon for those who don't get the inside joke.

Oh, Don't forget the big-assed engine hoist beam.

[Killer]

YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!

[jerry]

[Deyomatic]

Jerry, I think there is a rule against using the word "chop" in a post about an Erection...

[C9]

It's gonna be a great shop.

I'm glad to see you went vertical far enough to have a lift.
And maybe even an attic or at the least a mezzanine.

Gotta get me a shop like that.
Gets old spending 10-15 minutes converting my garage to a shop and then converting back.

[Tinbender]

Thanks for the support, and for the erection envy http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I went as big as the city would let me. 24 X 40 with 14' walls, 6/12 roof. It's still not big enough, but better than anything I've ever had. I plan to loft at least 1/2 of it. That should help make some room. It should get a floor this week, and be finished next week. I'm only a month behind schedule, but at least it's finally happening. I was able to buy one lift, but I'll have to wait for the other one. I pretty much "blew my wad" http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif on the building.

BTW, the wagon is under the blue tarp in the left side of the pictures. I think it might fit in there.

[MrHavard]

How big are your footings? did spokage give you a lot of grief in checking your plans? I've never seen walls up before a slab. Congratulations.

[Tinbender]

The biggest problem was the setback. 60' from the front property line. The line is 15' from the street. So now I have a 75' driveway that I can only have 3 cars in legally.
Just stupid. And they were assholes about it.
It's a pole building. The posts are set in 3' of cement, then the floor is poured after it's framed. It's much cheaper than stick built.(and will outlast me!) I had them set the gerts between the posts, on their side, so I end up with 6" walls, and can insulate some more &amp; hang the sheet rock on them.

[lakes modified]

Looks great. better have the inside portion of the roof insulated now, as later it's a bitch. been there &amp; done that after the fact. looks like it took a lot of Viagra to keep it up that high???. ha, ha.

[burndup]

Hey, right on, glad to hear you got it up finally...!

[whodaky]

nice looking shed TB. I know how much fun it is building a new shed. Built mine over the course of a year. Now I am in it all the time, even now on the comp. Mine is 40 x 25 10 foot walls. is going to be fun doing the electrical on yours being so high. It looks good though.
