40x60x14 Shop

[JHurt]

I used OSB to sheathe the inside walls of my 40x60x14 pole building-I actually preferred the look to 1/2 CDXView attachment 576776

Still have to sheath from 8 to 14?need to get scaffolding in place to do that this weekend

I think we are going to do plywood up to 8ft, and then metal paneling the rest of the way up to 14ft.

Just catching up. It doesn't look like the sill plate is PT lumber. Isn't that required for lumber in contact with concrete?

It is treated lumber on the sill plate. I do agree that the picture makes it look like regular lumber though.

Some of the newer treated formulas do not have a lot of color to them.

Thought that might be it.
I remember back when PT lumber was a dark blue-ish grey. Then they changed the formula and it became a light green-ish color. Then I moved out here to Washington and PT lumber is a dark red-ish brown color.

Very nice. We just finished our 24x30x12 a few weeks ago. We also did radiant heating. Ours looks much the same. Still have electric and insulation to go! It is simple, but it will work well for us.

Did you pour your concrete with the rebar layin on the insulation board?

Only two loops of pex?

Yes so ours is foam board, rebar, then the wire mesh, then the pex tied to the wire mesh. We also have the foam boards taped at the seams to prevent moisture.

Yes only 2 loops of pex, I assume you mean zones?. We have a solar/thermal guy that does tons of these every year up here. This is going to be off grid, so we have him doing the planning and work on the portions of the build.

Looks like we got the rest of the exterior sheeting, and a couple of windows today!


And a breaker box.

Both work-I just preferred the OSB pricing (and look). I considered so metal but decided to be consistent all the way to 14’. Will be finishing the band at 8-12’ this weekend from my cheapie HF scaffold. Did get a suggestion from the wife to add a man lift to our collection of equipment
