All the concrete work is done, Sidewalks and a small slab was poured on Thursday. Friday all the walls were framed up and sheeted. On Monday the truss’s are suppose to arrive. Should have a roof this next week and siding at least started.
Won’t be long and my part of the project will begin. I’ll need to get a meter and 200 amp panel installed and then I can started on the inside.

Thanks for looking!

Les:
I built my “Workshop in the Woods” in ‘07 so I can appreciate your excitement. I’ll suggest painting the interior white and using the new electronic type ballast fixtures with “daylight” bulbs to obtain the highest color rendering index. Add several windows if you can. good light makes a world of difference.
Are you going to use a conventional overhead garage door?

Les, you are certainly moving right along on this build. I am sure that you can’t wait until the subs are finished and you are doing your part.

Les, Looking good!!!
I have one question. Is there a reason the door is hinged the way you have it? Normally doors would open toward the wall and not into the area. Just curious.

Great job Les. I know you’ll just love having the extra space. Just don’t out grow it too fast.

I don’t want to give up the wall space to windows, I need all of it I can get. And I’d rather not have people being able to look in and see what all I have, if ya know what I mean.

Les,
Your shop is moving right along. I don’t know who’s more anxious to see it finished—we LumberJocks or you!
