Workshop / Garage Building

mynameisfiber commented 11 years ago

We need a place to work! This proposal is to build a corrugated steel arch building (P or A type, 25'x30') at the front of the property as temporary shelter and to store tools and such. Additional benefits are:

Nice surface for rain collection
A place to put the solar panels
Can haz dry firewood?

The steps involved are:

[x] Pick a location/size for the building
[x] Figure out if we should get a kit or get the arches ourselves (question #2 ) [resolved: we are going with the kit]
[x] Dig the trenches for the foundation (keeping things level will be a challenge)
[x] Lay the foundation
[ ] Get the materials delivered
[ ] Build the structure

Laying the foundation will requires ~4 people, as will putting up the building.

I believe we decided on the building being 25'x30'

Help with the foundation work if we decide to do a straight slab foundation: http://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/yyman/hey_diy_attempting_to_pour_concrete_slab_for_the/
