crack control
The floor was cured enough this evening to go ahead and make my control cuts. I was in a bit of a dilemma. Cutting off of every pole may be a bit over kill as the squares are now eight by eight. The alternative was to just cut off the center pole with sixteen foot squares. I didn't feel very comfortable with squares that big, so I bit the bullet and cut off every pole. I made the right choice I am sure. Here is a pic. Lee

Joe,
Copy of Resinous Fuel Resistant Floor Coating spec attached.
You can get a full list (and pdf files) of all of the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) at http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/browse_cat.php?c=3
If you want to look at them, you can get most of the Unified Facilities Criteria design manuals on the wbdg site as well (all except those designated For Official Use Only).
There are other manuals there too. For instance Air Force ETL 11-18 is a design manual for rifle ranges, including outdoor (up to 50 BMG) and indoor (usually 25 meters for M16/A4).

The White USAF coatings are extremely durable
In 1988, Ellsworth AFB, SD coated the floors of their hangars. I retired in Oct of 04 and the only damage to any of the flooring was where one of the tow tugs spun its tires while wearing tire chains.
The floors are still shiny and they don't stain if the thicker coatings with the clear coat are used.
The good thing is you can either mop them, dust them, or even use the mini zamboni to clean up. Light reflection is fantastic underneath the aircraft.
My 2 cents on the subject.

I wish. All this is part of my retirement plan. After all this is completed I plan to apply for my FFL and start chambering a few barrels for other folks. Maybe if everything works out like I hope it will, I can retire a little earlier than most of the folks I work with. I wont have any debt and not much of an overhead, other than electric and insurance. I really enjoy playing with these machines and I love working on rifles. Fingers crossed. Lee

I haven't heard anything about heating and air conditioning plans? No matter what route you go take the time to install an air exchanger. It will help you live longer! I plan to put one in soon and I might put one in my house too.

Whatever you do, go with plenty of insulation in the walls and ceiling.
I have 5&1/2" in my walls and 12" or so blown in my ceilings.
In the winter when I walk in it feels warm and when I do use the furnace
it is just on a short time to keep the chill away. Good Luck Kenny

Should help the A/C also.
we are going HEAVY on the insulation. we started with 1.5" thick pink board, then covered that with pink fanfold. then we will do the R21 rolled insulation. that's for the walls. In the ceiling we will do R19 in the rafters then blow cellulose on top of that. should be nice. lee

Updates? Get the floor coated?
Well
Production is going a little slower than I'd like. Between work the heat and the rain, I feel like I am at least a month behind where I'd like to be.
The walls are up, insulation is mostly in, and I have the white steel panels for the interior walls on the property. Dad is doing some final insulation and wiring this week.
I was a little hung up on what to do with my office/shooting room, but I think I now have a plan. I'm at work on my phone, so when I get home I'll post some pics.
One thing is for sure. Whatever you think it will take money wise to complete a project. Plan on adding about 25% to that figure. Lol.
I do have my two outside shooting benches up and that alone is or was worth the wait and effort. I love it! Lee
Ps, I'm not going to proof read this so sorry if my auto correct does it's thing. I'll update this evening with photoes.

I am 64 and have built shops before, but the challenge with the one I am building this year was to get a Bridgeport in. I made a wall that hinged. We got it in the building, closed the wall. Then how to get the mill off the pallet? I had to temporary a bunch of beams in the high ceiling. I should have used a chain hoist, but I just used a cable type engine hoist.
