Building a new shop

[Bob Carriere]

Fantastic job Jordan......

...and a big thanks to Vicky for supporting you.

Bob, the size is 50’x36’ deep. 12’ high walls for first floor. The second floor is 24’4”x50’ with 8’ high ceiling and 6’ at the knee walls. I used what is called a gambrel attic truss. Pretty cool engineered piece that gives me an uninterrupted full span on the first floor

Where's the Like button when you need one?

Congrats on the new building . In floor heating eventually, that will be a game changer . It's hard to believe now ,but from my experience , you will fill that shop and then some...lol.
I look forward to your Otter restoration , after your construction is done.
Regards K Armitage

Nice building! I'd love to have that in my back yard, although the city of Ottawa might not like it as it would fill my whole back yard...

Only word that comes to mind is «*wow*» ! Well done ! Years of enjoyment Jordan . Congrats. Nice family too.

Nice big shed Jordan. Tell me about your floor please? It looks expensive? I assume you can't have concrete because of the winter freeze? In the northern warmer part of New Zealand's climate, everyone uses concrete. My house floor is concrete (all one pour with the shed) (no insulation and no heat) The concrete in the house is polished. It is now 13 years old. Currently a house concrete floor is generally built on styrene. That style of build is referred to as a Rib raft floor. Here we might get ice on our puddles once or twice a year (or not at all)

Nicely done, Jordan.

My brother sold his home in Ottawa three years ago. There was a 12X20 garage in the yard. Look what’s there now!
