48x39x14 shop build

[Citydude]

Thank you Mike. The shop I'm in now is 48x42. So I actually shrank 150sqft. With the Machine Shed next door to park in, I can get by with a smaller shop.

Lynn (catfever) and I have a bet going on who gets done first. I made the wager and used the term "moved into the house first". He's already started on his house..... I don't mind losing a friendly wager to a gentleman such as him though.

I grew up on this farm. Had a chance to buy it 4 years ago. So I'm kinda moving "home".

It's good to go home. I'll be doing the same thing in 8 years when the wife retires. What form of heat will you be using for the floor, geothermal?

The shop will have hydro radiant floor heat, probably heated by a propane boiler or tankless heater.

House will be the same with a propane fired HVAC system.

That's what were planning. Geo was going to be too costly after I did the calculations.

Very nice project you have going ! Your doing it all correctly from the dirt up. Concrete work as you say is hard back breaking work. The real pro's make it look easy !! Keep up the great work and progress.....

What did u do for forming around your garage doors? There standard inside mounted doors correct? How did you keep the slab under the door? Just formed it?

Very Nice. You are going to be very happy when it is all done. Nothing better than being able to get the land you grew up on and build on it. I can't wait till we start building our new house. My wife is worried about the house plans and all I care about is having a shop with a concrete floor.

There's a 42" deep x 10" wide footing around the perimeter including under the doors. Then the 6" slab poured on that. The footing has rebar which protruded out the top 18". Before the slab was poured that rebar was bent horizontally and embedded in the slab.

Hope that answers your question? Sorry I didn't get a pic of that procedure.

Yep, her and I are working thru the same things. One day she handed me her phone and said "what do you think of this door knob?" I said Honey we need to decide how many doors we will have before we worry about knobs.

No.. I mean where your door openings are, your heated floor doesn’t extend beyond the door opening does it? To the outside?
