40x40x16 steel tractor shop

[mfrost]

I know a 40x40 is just a little bit big for my JD750 but the wife wants the tractor and my truck out of the garage.

Been doing some preliminary things on the project as I wait for engineering to finish the plans so I can get a permit. It is a custom building and I paid the bucks for it also. Oh, I do have the foundation plans so shouldn't have to do any footing work over. Here are a few pictures to start with.

You and I have the same amount of hair. May I suggest you wear a hat? Also, get some gloves.

Why do I see so many woven wire fences in the background ? Do things move in the middle of the night ?

What kind of building are you planning on installing? I've been looking at steel buildings. So far, I'm leaning toward Heritage.

I figured I would have to follow through with this. I enjoy looking at projects of others on this site. Will have to resize some more pictures.

Her is a picture of my son on the tractor.

Those are for new plants so the rabbits don't eat them up. Anything in the desert is prime food for them there varmits

It is a Forbes building. It has total rigid frame, 4:12 roof, 18" overhang, gutters, skylights, operable ridgevent, wainscoat at 3'6", roof and wainscoat are same color, 14x14, 12x12, and 12x10 garage doors, 3- 4030 windows, and 1-3070 personel door.

I priced out a Heritage and it was about the same so I went with Forbes which is 30 miles from me for the convience of support. The big difference is that the Heritage does not have a toal rigid frame so you can not add onto it without making modifications which the way I understand it it needs to be reengineered and the rigid frame needs to installed in the original building before additions can be made.
