Looking good! I see that you have put angle braces on the front, rear and sides of your shop. I have no idea whether you guys get any snow in Ireland or not, but if so, I'd suggest you put an 'X' brace or two between the trusses (connecting the top of one truss to the bottom of the next one down the center of the bldg) to make sure that your trusses don't all tip over under a heavy load.
Keep up the good work!

well there is snow the odd time but 2" would be a lot for here. it is a good suggestion and i think that we will stick it in. lot easier to do that than rebuild teh whole thing.
Larry the height to the bottom of the truss is 10ft and the truss is 4 ft. I will be working on tractors and jcbs so i tried to leave it as high as possible but there is still the chance that it aint high enough. we are half thinking of putting a loft in one half of it to store stuff which is rarely used. getting the sheeting on monday. The roof will have felt on it to prevent condensation and the walls are just going to be a shell. Teh insulated sheeting is crazy money.it wil be slightly chilly but that will keep us working harder to stay warm and therefore productivity will be increased.

I don't know about you, but I find it hard to keep my welds straight when my teeth are chattering /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif looking forward to the updates.....
Forgot to actually take a pic of the doors without the sheeting on them. We finally got the sheeting about two weeks ago and have been putting it up since then. The sheeting was screwed into the steel using Tex screws. (self tapping screws for steel which drill their own hole. They are really useful. Here is the start of the roof
