1. I don't know why I find these so interesting ... maybe because I've never seen anyone build a building inside a building? 2. I hope you stay with these videos long enough for us to see the interaction between the metal and wood structures ... one early example being that out of plumb side wall. 3. I've been accused of fastener overkill ... you sir, put me to shame😁 4. Probably different where you live but I've never seen OSB aka oriented strand board called plywood ... and you're gonna find it isn't the best when it comes to finished walls or hanging anything heavier than a rafter square. Plenty strong enough for what you're doing but attractive and versatile it is not. 5. I watched your explanation of why you're going about this the way you're going about this but all I can think of is the carnage that will follow when that metal roof starts leaking ... and I say this as someone who has both a metal building and metal roofing on my two story brick home ... the first of which leaked from practically the get go while the other, after 15 years, shows every promise of lasting a 100 years. 6. Instead of repeatedly resting two beams on a single 3 1/2" base, did you consider making up a more or less single beam running the length of the shop using alternating lengths of board/OSB (this would have to be constructed in place) or, alternatively, dead heading those stub walls with wider supports? 7. Regardless, please keep filming and I wish you nothing but the best.
I am building my new workshop exactly as you are doing. My biggest concern is the moisture. I will be insulating the ceiling just as you are which will create an attic space. How are you planning on ventilating your attic space ? With these metal buildings I'm not sure you can get a ridge vent instead of a rig cap. Also the metal buildings that I have now don't really have soffits they just make it look like you have a true soffit. Really need your ideas on this. Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
I know I am going to catch some flack for this, but I am going to kind of insulate my roof twice. I am going to put board insulation near the edges of the sides of the eves as there are gaps where the corrugated metal rests on the wall. I am going to put the board insulation a few inches away from the edge all along the sides about two feet in to keep the gaps open for air flow and then I am going to insulate the ceiling with about two inches of foam insulation to help with the condensation. I am then going to put in a flat drywalled ceiling and put attic insulation in it so there will be a area just below the roof that will be open where the air flow can take place.
So you are going to use the board insulation as proper vents? This is the same idea that I was thinking of doing. If it’s wrong I guess we will both be criticized. Thanks for the quick reply.
You mention you are in PA...where did you source your metal "car port" type building from? I'll be doing a building this year and am working to narrow down the type...metal is on the short list. I'm in SE PA, but am curious about who you dealt with.
Oh no just spray foam the roof and paint the spray foam black so you stay with vaulted ceiling and have that height. Literally one spray foam kit at lowes would most likely do that whole ceiling and you can do it yourself and it cost 5 to 800 for that kit but so worth it in the end
