Workshop Construction

  I started construction in October 2015. The workshop/garage is 26' wide by 36' deep. It has 10' high ceilings and attic storage accessed by a pull down ladder. In hindsight, a 30' by 40' foot print would have been nice but I wanted to keep the costs down. Most of the time only 1 car will be parked inside, giving ample room for the build. The best thing I did was insulate with foam! Here in Texas, attic temps can reach 140 to 150 degrees. A foamed attic becomes a conditioned space and will stay at 85 degrees max in the heat of the summer!
