It'll be good for three cars but it will start to fill up when I move in work bench, air compressor, tool box, shelves, storage cabinet, etc., etc.

Ah, looks like the poor red one (red headed stepchild) sleeps outside.

I'll put it in during the winter. For now I get to look at it out the kitchen window.

This is the electrician coming out in me, but under your challenger grill hanging on the wall theres a recept. you should widen that to a double gang box, add a switch, fish the wall and make it so them headlights turn on  :)

Looks good though

I absolutely love my heavily insulated 40x60, but when I had it built almost 20 years ago, I hadn't yet re-entered the e-body resto addiction and requested a 10' ceiling for heating reasons. I have a 12'x3'x5-1/2' deep mechanics pit, but man do I wish I had requested at least 12 or 14' for a two post to compliment this addiction. Thinking seriously about opening the ceiling between two trusses, boxing in upper walls and insulating accordingly. Later, perhaps.

@Plumcrazy72 You're the third person to suggest that!

Do it !!  It will be worth it! 
Just be careful.  Truss's are designed to disperse weight and when you cut the bottom chord on a truss there could be a major catastrophe.  You might really want an engineer to check what your doing on that one.

WOW that looks amazing!  Very cool and really nice of the landlord to complete that project!   :clapping:

@cuda hunter No worries. I'd never cut a truss. I'd simply utilize the 10' area between them, then box that in and insulate behind it in the attic. This is a pole barn type construction. I built my home, so the concept is fine. I just need the time. Then there's the fact that it's only a 4" pad.
