Well actually non paying. Kind of. The guy I was helping just bought a lathe and is eyeing a couple mills.
And he is gonna help me with the tracks as he has already built some for his jeep
Worthy trade for machine shop time
That and he is a cool guy. Our families like each other and hopefully we can go to Moab with them this spring
Just looking at those beams makes me tired just thinking about manually moving them. Im shaky doing what I do now. I couldn't work that hard. Not in my shape.
So got all the foam board up.
Haven't sealed it all yet but this is a huge step for me

Time to update this.
Got the front sheating on
No tin yet but I had to get something up.
Put some thin foam board up too. In an effort to air seal the all the walls.
I've had the garage doors for a while but finally got going on getting them up.
Had to put up sheetrock but just enough to get the doors up. And yes I just made my life difficult for finishing it.
A total of 8 sheets went up. It takes me about 45 minutes to get one sheet up by myself. Head does not like the ladder up and down
My neighbor who sold em to me is helping me
So progress but slow

A question?
I need to build stud walls to hang OSB and sheetrock on and for additional insulation.
16" center or 24" center and why.
Remember these do not support the roof at all. This is a pole barn.

Oh and I will be getting this in the spring
Awesome man! With doors on its usable even in winter. Propane makes a reasonable temp heat until you get that furnace installed.
On the stud walls, the only reason to go 16" centers is if you are using 1/2" sheet rock. It's pretty flimsy at 24".
Oh, or if your hanging cabinets. You could end up with only 1 stud to support a big cabinet.
I'd go 24". It'll save you some studs since you an on 5/8 sheet rock. You can always add a few in areas you plan on hanging stuff.

Well I do plan on hanging some cabinets.
It's a 150 dollar difference ish. I'm not keeping track of what studs I'll leave out due to the 6x6s
The more I think about it the more the 16" centers sound better. Spend a little money now to make things better for the future I suppose

I went with 24" centers. I don't have many things hanging off the walls. The one thing I do have for heavy things ( Racks for long lengths of steel ) I just attached to the posts. Anything else attached to the wall also has legs going to the floor.
Many pole buildings around here have poles as far apart as 4 to 6,as much as 8 feet,and they put a 2x6 girt with a 2x4 nailed to the bottom of it (like a "L" ) across the posts to provide a nailing surface for the wall tin and interior panels..some of them have "X" bracing across the poles also to add resistance to racking in the wind..

Good to see some progress on this! Starting to look like a real shop now!
Looks good Eric! Happy to see you getting more done.
My only suggestion is to get as much finished as much as you can before you fill it up with things that are hard to move...full shops never get finished.
And studs spaced to the size of the insulation you are going to use so you don't have to cut it to fit. Way to time consuming and waste. Put plywood on the walls that you want to hang things from.
"guess I did have a couple of suggestions"
Who`s blue crew cab is that in some of the pic`c?

It's mine Dean.
I bought it for cheap. But just havent messed with it. It's a bit rough but definitely not too far gone.

Right on!
Its for sale he forgot to mention, rather cheap too.
I would like a rather cheap crew cab...always on the wrong side of the border.
