The block is for a sub floor? That’s always super handy for routing and re-routing of electrical.

So bout a 12'x10'... not bad wish I could change my 12x8 shed to a 14x20 to 24 but cant do it due to bad property line . Would cost a small fortune to fix.

[bill dennison]

old pad is 20'x14' and the upstairs will be 20'x 16.5' floor
ofcourse i lose 16" for the walls but i'm using R13.1 foam board insulation and R-21 rockwool in the walls

inside will be about 231sf down and 277sy up

Looking really good bill, you do some nice work

What are your plans for the roof? Probably just the camera angle but it looks slightly slanted for flat?

the walls are flat and level now still have to do the top plates after the door then start the roof
but it's goibg to be a Gambrel roof like a old barn with a loft almost a second floor

[JZL]

[bill dennison]

truss layout



235 miter cuts later

oh look ray tracing




now i hace to cut 120 plywood gussets and build a large jig 20 feet by 12 feet in the carport to put them toghter and glue and woodscrew them together

went to home depot today for 24 - 2x10's x 20 feet 59 bucks each and everyone they had was warped and split 3 foot in on both ends = worthless

No windows? What are you going to be building in there?

No windows? What are you going to be building in there?

had windows in the old workshop they just attracted spiders and bugs and make it harder to cool and are always dirty
and since it will have two mini splits and the walls will have 2 inch R13.1 foam board insulation plus R23 rockwool insulation

why would i want a widow in a R36+ wall when it's 115f+ outside
and it is better to have only one type of light in a shop, and you can get odd shadows with over head lights and windows when laying out stuff

Ventilation?

[bill dennison]

got the 2 doors one upstairs on one end and the main door and will put in a two vent fans with a damper to the overhang in front with a bug screen
for when i'm doing anything with fumes

i will put two 8 inch round vent ducts or maybe 2 6x10 ducts before the upstairs floor goes in and the fans later
