Uh uh fool, step back
Hey California shop buildin' buddy! I'm forming a slab for an 800 sq ft shop in Sonoma County (but then taking the easy route and having a prefab metal frame put up). Also building a 1000 sq ft 2 story gambrel barn stick frame 2x6 like yours. I have found that dealing with the county planning and inspectors has been an immense pain in my behind. I don't know if its just Sonoma County but these guys are insane: each person tells you different things, they routinely pull poo poo out of their rear end and when called out on it say "oh its not in the code but thats how Id do it", each inspector has their own interpretation of the code that I often find bogus. They made me get an engineer to stamp my plans (engineer did nothing to them but do the calcs and stamp, ugh, $1000) and STILL they are harassing me about silly details like the footing being 12" instead of 15" (dude, 15" is for 2 story load, this footing has a ONE story load because slab on grade).

Anyway, thanks for making this thread so I can bitch in it, was thoughtful of you ;)

Nice looking door, beefy as hell. You might consider another hinge high up on the jamb to resist the weight.

You can sometimes get a tiny adjustment by using long coarse screws in the hinges and driving the hell out of them. Should lift the door a bit. Or, could take a grinder with a diamond cup to the slab
