Manfre's Workshop Build

[manfre]

I convinced my wife that I needed a workshop and a 12'x20' barn style shed is being built along the property line. The obnoxiously loud, outdoor dogs that will soon be blocked by the workshop did help my argument. The walls are 7', but pitch up quickly and the peak is 13'. I do have to sacrifice some head space with 4' deep lofts at the narrow ends for misc storage.

The before picture with one of the dogs barking excessively. Thankfully, only the gate's post was cemented in place. It took me less than 20 minutes to open it up.

It took two guys from Carolina Yard Barns less than 2 hours to haul everything, level it and construct the base.

The build should be completed by Friday. Waiting on an inspection and dry weather.

New shops of any size and shape are just wonderful. Good luck and keep the pics coming.

Congratulations on your new workspace. Doesn't Cary have any set-back requirements? Even in our small town I had a 15' setback from the side and back property lines as well as a permit. I would hate to have you post later that it had to come down and be relocated.

The set back for an unattached structure is 5' and attached is 10' (r12 zoning). The workshop sits about 5'3" at its closest.

Congratulations on the new shop. What other plans do have for this building? Electric, insulation, heat, a/c?

It's bizarre how different counties have different zoning regulations. Here in Johnston county the side setbacks are just the opposite. 5' for attached and 10' for detached. Go figure.

After an unnecessarily frustrating process, the footings have passed inspection and the floors and framing will happen tomorrow! I'm burning vacation time tomorrow, so there will be plenty of pictures.

Inspection form lists it as the footing inspection. It was basically verifying the placement of the cement blocks, runner spacing, joist spacing, cantilever spacing and set backs.

I have issues with just sitting back and doing nothing. I helped haul lumber and lift the walls.

Moving right along. Looks like you will have plenty of storage options in the 'attic'.

The contractors didn't finish today and will be back tomorrow morning to shingle the roof. Here's a few more of the pictures from today's work. More are in the gallery.

:icon_thum I would really consider adding insulation before you go any further. OBS provides no R values.

The walls and ceiling will be insulated after I run the electrical. The inside walls will be finished with OSB.

The roofing was finished minutes before the flurries picked up and turned in to snow.
