Thanks. Needs gooseneck lights on the exterior, door weatherstrip and deco corners before the exterior is done-done.
Now I am racing Mother Nature so I can heat and work in it this winter.

Very nice-looking building!!! I really like the two different browns you used for the walls.

Looks GREAT!
Thanks for the update!
Did you go with a "mezzanine"?
I've got a small "mezzanine" in my shed and wish I had an elevator, or at least a dumbwaiter.

Go with 12' wide 10' high overhead doors, my buddy talked me into it and I'm glad he did. My PB is 40' x 60' x 12'. Propane furnace in shop with overhead fan and well insulated.
No lift here, but my shop floor is 5" thick with rebar 2' centers. My shop 33' x 22' has saw cuts to make 8 sections. Built in 2014 no cracks.

On the size of overhead doors, I went with 10ft x 10ft. I figured height for my backhoe mounted on my trailer backing through the door. Also the 10ft wide is nice for backing my Tundra pickup into. Truck has tow mirrors, which would probably hit on a normal car garage door width. Jon

Update:
Blew in 16" of fiberglass last weekend to the tune of R-50ish on top of the white metal ceiling. Really hoping that I have all the attic crap done.
Now onto the wall insulation which be 2 layers of R-13 since 8" thick batts or roll only comes in 24" wide. Oh well. First layer, then wiring, then second layer, poly, OSB then metal. Slow goin' when you're solo.
Outlets for the lights on the ceiling are functional now so I finally have a light SWITCH!!! By the entry door even! Simple things.
I am amazed at how much easier it is to heat now, even holds the heat. Before I closed the attic hatch, I could swear it was colder in the attic than outside.

That's significant progress, and just in time for winter!!!
I hate installing insulation, but when it's done, everything gets easier.
