I’m jealous! Great looking shops guys!

I’m still acquiring the funds to get mine built. Some great ideas here!

Been checking into spray foaming my shop, Holly crap it's expensive.

Not sure how spray foam performs over the long run so I used foam board with a radiant barrier from Lowes. The radiant barrier keeps the condensation way down almost none at all. And it was cheaper and easy to put up in a small shop.

Well my shop has been built 35 years. It’s 44 x 28 with rough cut 2x6 ceiling rafters. It has 4 inch spray in foam in the ceiling which brought the summer time temp down from 146* to 110* in the summer. It has used chicken house tin on the outside and a cement slab floor. It has a 9000 lb lift on one end. My step father and I built it for 8700.00 and that included 3 new 10 x 12 roll up doors, roll in insulation in the walls and foam board insulation in the doors. I am about 30 miles from it now but I will try and find some pics of it. I ran a diesel p/u business out of it for 15 years.

This is the north end of the shop showing the lift and the wife’s Duster I redid in 2013. The slab under the lift was 6 inches thick and the rest was 4 inches. It has a small bathroom and 2 windows each on the North and South ends.

The second pic is the south side and partial front and the last pic is looking toward the west in the middle bay. That is a ‘33 Plymouth Coupe I was building when I had my stroke. Still sitting there 9 years later. 😢

My shop was here when We bought 21 yrs ago. 28x36 insulated and heated. Toilet,sink,fridge,tv and a small couch. It gets quite cluttered as the kids and myself are always doing something. Gets a clean up about twice a year just to get all messed up again. If I was to build one it would be higher with a mezzanine for storage but weve turned out many projects over the years and it works very well for us.
