Welcome This started as a shop build thread but now that the shop is near complete I have started doing projects. Some you may like some you may find boring but there is always something going on. I have several old trucks that I am redoing and some building improvements that are ongoing. Stop in say hi, Thanks, Jim
This adventure started in 2012

Re: Building my dream shop

I am new at a lot of this so I am playing with the first few post getting the hang of posting the pics. Getting the block up and getting the roof on was hired out....My first mistake the contractor was recommended to me by a former employee, the contractor was not what he said he was.But enough about that the rest is very positive.

Re: Building my dream shop

Here is a view from the shop looking at the house. We are making plans for the inside trying to get a game plan together. It has always been Pat and me, no help from anyone else. Her and I gutted the house to the studs replaced all the windows, doors, electric, plumbing, everything, 102 sheets of 12' drywall. we converted it from a 3 bedroom to a 2 bedroom, I know what you are going to say but this is our forever home so its ok with us if it lost value. we completed the house in 10 months.

Very nice Jim, glad to see the pics finally. The shop turned out great and that’s one very sweet property you’ve got as well.

Re: Building my dream shop

Great Space. Excellent progress.

How thick did you guys end up making the concrete slab?
The footers were double what code called for some of the slab is up to 8" but most is 6". I left some areas thicker in anticipation of installing a floor lift

Re: Building my dream shop

The next phase will be more text than pictures as I can,t find them. I know we took them and we have looked through all of our old devices but no luck. when I find them I will post them. since the shop was so full we decided to put a 14,x 36, addition onto the east side of the shop.
