I have a little free time and am bored, so I figured I would post a build thread for my shop.

The building is 18'x35'x9'. I went with a building from Eagle Carports, with a few upgrades. I know a lot on here would prefer a mueller type building, but for my purposes and size, this was the best option. In fact, comparing the shop drawings that were sent to me from Mueller and Eagle, the Eagle building had higher wind loads and live loads by just a little.

Anyways, here are some pics.

I did all the dirt and form work, and had friends over to help with the place and finish of the slab.

The structure:

I had 3.5" of open cell insulation sprayed in.

Ceiling and Lights

Next, I stained the floor, this pic is when its still wet.

I put a corrugated wainscoting to help with sparks, etc.

I used OSB for the walls

The back wall is peg board, I painted it maroon.

Had a little help sweeping up so I could apply sealant to the floor.

Trim out of window and wainscoting

Any ideas on how to trim out the door? I can't use the 1x4 due to the difference in metal panel and OSB.

Concrete all sealed and done.

Since this picture I have run my air lines and installed my minisplit AC system (although it isn't charged yet).


Here is the exterior as seen from my backyard.

I don't currently have any of the front.

Why cant you use 1x4? You are using it at the horizontal transition. you could double it up along the edge if you are worried about the gap.

The main thing I will use the shop for in the near future is this:

I actually have a build thread for the truck on the auto board.

The wainscoting sticks out about 3/8" further than the OSB. For the horizontal trim, I cut 1/2" x 1.5" section out as shown below.

I guess I could just rip half of the trim off like so:

I can't think of anything else that would look as good unless you trim the metal panel instead.

This is how that conversation with my wife goes.

Me: I would like to restore an old pickup truck
Wife: Ok sounds cool.
Me: I need to build a badass shop in the backyard for the truck first.
Wife: hahahahahahahahaha

All the air lines are good. The mini split is charged and is incredible. It cools like crazy. Very quiet. Insulation seems to be doing its job, as I left the ac running for 15 minutes while I was working, then turned it off and left for two hrs. When I came back the shop was refreshingly cool.

I've begun moving my stuff in. First is the work bench.

I'll move the rest of my stuff in his weekend. I'm already wishing I had room for a bigger shop, but this is better than what I had before.

The ford truck will be in its new home by Sunday hopefully
