ChriX:
It's funny you should joke about doing the roof first - we considered it! After all it would be a lot easier to build it at ground level, but no easy way to lift it after it's done.  :beer:

Here's a couple of update photos for you.

SCOOTER:

ChriX:
I am very much looking forward to moving in! Just updated my spreadsheet of costs, a bad idea  :palm:

Anyway, a couple more; thats the frame for the two long walls done as well now - there are 3 panels leaning against the back wall. 3 small walls left to do, these are a bit more work though as each one has a door/window in it. Roughly 350 100mm screws have gone in up to this point (who needs nails!?).

ChriX:
Still going...





Thanks for the recommendation about Henderson doors - they were helpful but still couldn't sell me what I need. I am considering getting a standard 7ft door frame and lifting gear and cutting it down the middle to widen it to 10ft!

Another thing I am trying to decide upon is the lighting - I think I am going for 3 rows of 3 6ft single strip lights down the main area, but not sure about the corner. It's hard to tell what's going to be enough without trying it. I can always add focused lights for specific machines/areas though I guess.
