John Hill:
Great progress Chris! :thumbup:
If I can make a couple of suggestions?
Put in as much natural lighting as you can, translucent roofing sheets are supposed to be good.
Another is to build in at least one strong point, reinforced trusses etc, so that you can easily lift things off your truck or trailer, even if you have an engine lift you might not be able to lift heavy stuff off the middle of your trailer. My last suggestion, which worked out very well for me, is to put power points in the ceiling.
OK, thats enough from me... :beer:
Miner:
I'll second Bill and John's comments. A question though. It could be the lighting, But is that wood an anti rot type pressure treated wood? With the walls up, That shop is far larger that it first seemed with just the bare foundation and floor pictures.

ChriX:
Thanks for the comments - I like the reinforced truss idea John! That is something I hadn't thought about.
Pete: yes it is all pressure treated 2x4.
Miner:
Ok, Obviously I don't know anything about just what the U.K. uses for chemicals in your pressure treated wood. But if it's like what we have changed to a few years ago then I really hope you used stainless steel nails and screws. The new type of pressure treated wood over here will eat up standard screws and nails in around 3 years. Just thought I might mention that.
