Living out here where I do I never get to meet any of you,
That phone call with Ron was just awesome ... Makes it all real.
This place really does amaze me sometimes

Yeah but next time can you make your voice sound more like Sam Elliott - that way it matches your image -

It was great talking with you Jeff. I'll have the drawings finished up later tonight and get them over to you.

If it were my building, I would do 16" OC for the walls and if it's just a shop building, 2x4's will provide enough insulation space (and spray in foam would be great). 2x6 is expensive and it will take a while to get pay back in energy savings.

For the roof, 2x10 16" OC with collar or rafter ties every 3 or 4 rafter sets. Use a standing seam metal roof and you will have zero problems with the weather. R-38 for the ceiling and do the insulation right.

As for the floor, go with a concrete slab and put a radiant heat system in it when you build it. It will keep you plenty toasty in the winter and in AZ, if you use a solar heater as a back up (or primary) heat source you could save some big money.

I'm no engineer, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.
