Well, the building has been delayed by Covid shutdown issues and few other issues.
So my plans have been tempered and adjusted to fit my needs.
24x32, 23 ft tall approximately. 4 or 5 ply 2x8 laminated columns on permacolumns.
Zip R12 sheeting on the outside. Found a company that makes a aerated concrete "board" that makes them a bit more thermally broke, lighter and easier to handle. Plans to use these at ground level.
Still planning on 16" or 18" 4x2 floor trusses, so shop will have open area. Plans are to use a heavy 8-12 mill vapor barrier on bottom of trusses, then plans are to screw some thin paneling or plywood for a ceiling. I'll install proper boxes etc for the light wiring in the shop ceiling, ceiling fans, etc.
Then after electric and water and heating duct are installed my plans are to follow insulation guys recommendation of blowing 11" of rockwool in floor, then screw down 3/4" flooring gluing in not critical areas(not near where the utilities will run).
The issue I have is getting proper way to suspend the trusses as I have been told several ways to do it. One is 4" angle iron bolted through the columns, then bolting a long beam(s) the length of building, appropriately blocked out. Then set floor trusses on that beam and locked into place from top.
Also we have planned on cantilevering 2"x12"s on each side of the floor trusses and having them stick through walls to allow a second floor deck. Support outside will be diamond piers.
Upstairs I am designing a heavy insulated sliding french door, the walls will get 5 1/2" of rock wool bat insualtion then possibly a layer of rockwool comfortboard and if numbers are accurate the zip R12 + R30 rockwool bat should make it cozy. Still researching roof insulation.
Roof trusses are gonna be double truss scissor trusses, no attic and most likely exposed trusses. After finding the antistatic paint I dont thing dirt will be hard to control considering my hvac plans.
Thoughts are to have 12' wide door on east narrow end, true 8' wide south door on long side. No windows downstairs. I even researched these cool garage door tracks with curves formed into them that press doors up againts wall seals.
Need to get back with one designer who was gonna draw up my plans buit him and his family got hit by health issues and couple Covid cases.
My biggest issue has been last year 31 weeks of year I was single worker in my shop. I have made good work doing better than previous crew but after this week Ill be competeing against MY work last year. And my mom just had to go get set up to start dialysis. She had liver/kidney transplant back in 07.
