Roofing and Siding: Nail C-D exterior grade plywood to the rafters, letting at least an 8" overhang on either gable end. If you wish, nail 1 x 6 fascia to the rafter and gable ends to give the roof a finished look. Place drip edge around the perimeter of the roof, then cover the roof with felt and the roofing material of your choice. Finishing: If you want a rustic look, coat all exposed wood with a preservative. The wood will then weather a natural gray and will need little additional upkeep. For a more "Finished" look, prime the raw wood and paint or stain it to suit your tastes. Mechanicals: As a workshop, you'll need electricity, heating/air-conditioning and (probably) running water. For electricity and water, you'll need the services of a licensed electrician and plumber. For heating and air-conditioning, you might consider a "through-the-wall" unit that provides both. Ask your electrician for recommendations. Another good recommendation would be to install a dehumidifier to help you control the shop humidity and eliminate any potential rust problems. |
