Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!

streetstar,
The whole thing was hand built. The trusses were all delivered already built. The garage is 28'x24' with the upstairs is 28' x 12' heated space. Both sides have a crawl space for storage. I built trap doors on each wall to get in and out.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Sounds like you're pretty excited about the project

How big? flooring plans-- painted or tiled? (checkerboard floor kit -- i knew it) unfinished or drywalled and air conditioned? Is it gonna have a lift? -- please tell me it has 12' ceilings and a lift, plus a giant air compressor hard plumbed throughout the place, but mounted outside so you dont have to hear it, --- oh, oh, and a loft like Andy's so you can have a place to "write your mystery novel" -- hardwired for internet so you can check out the boards without the little woman wondering what your doing. Surround sound and satellite tv would be nice too



Sorry, i got a little excited and am living vicariously through your project. I am trying to budget for one of my own in the future (i have a big -a$$ garage, but its not quite the same as a separate , dedicated shop building)

All the choices with doing your own shop can be a little overwhelming, and if you let your brain go into overdrive - they can cost as much as a small house
