Great looking building. The ceilings look higher than regular, how high are they?

Hey Les, looks like the new edition is coming along well, and very quickley. Looking good!

-- Jim Hallada, Chesterfield, VA

Mark, They are ten feet, the old shop only has 8’ ceilings in it. It will be nice to have the extra height.

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

Jim, yea its went up really fast. I’ll really happy with the contractor I chose. I would of been all summer getting it myself. I hope i can have it all done very soon.

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

surprised at the lack of windows, but it sure is a nice space.

Les, this is looking real good. I am surprised that it has gone up as quickly as it has, given the weather, but I can see that you aren’t complaining. :) You may have saved some money by doing the work yourself but (1) it would have taken you a lot longer to get this far and (2) working on this doesn’t pay the bills. In the long run I am sure you saved yourself money by subbing it out.

Nice building Les and yes I’m surprised as well at how fast it went up. If we get shut down here I may have to come back to Kansas. Looks like things are going very well out there yet. Got any job openings?......LOL

Les, Wonderful looking addition to the shop. Man, it is nice to be able to move that quickly. Now the fun part starts getting to wire and finish out the inside.

Hi Les

Shop is looking great. Setting up the inside of the shop is the fun part. Are you planning on getting new equipment for the extra space you are going to have? Keep the pictures coming?

God Bless

Looks great Les!

Les, you’re right – better to have more shop space than to have to cut the lawn or pick weeds in the garden.

-- Phil in British Columbia

You’re going to love those 10 foot ceilings! It’s real nice being ably to swing around an 8 foot piece of plywood around with hitting the ceiling. I have not regretted it for a second.

Looking good!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Thanks for the response, yeah 10 foot ceilings would be great. That is going to be one great shop.

This looks great, Les. What a super way to get out of the yard work and do something productive with all the extra time not spent mowing the grass! We’d love to have a contractor here who works that quickly!

Keep us posted.

Les, We’re just wondering how the shop is progressing? We hope you’ll have time for another update again soon.
