Part 1: The floor is down
Well I decided to bite the bullet and help out the local economy a little. Currently my shop is 24’ x 38’ with 8’ ceilings. But my work space seams to keep getting smaller and smaller with every piece of equipment that I aquire. So my actual building or assembly area has become quite small. With the ways things have been going lately I’ve struggled with the decision of build or not to build, I just hope I’ve made the right decision. I’m adding a 20’...
Part 2: Walls are up!
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.

I’ll need to get a meter and 200 amp panel installed and then I can started on the inside. Click on the pictures to see a full view.Thanks for looking!
Part 3: Roofed and Sided
The roof and siding is all on now. Soffits are done and the facer boards have all been wrapped with metal. Still don’t have an overhead door yet though, it won’t be in until next week some time.

Now they have finally decided to put a pedastal in the back yard to run the shop off of. Problem is the electric here is buried and it will not stop raining! I was hoping to have it in by Memorial weekend but if the rain doesn’t stop that won’t happen. I can’t really do anything out there until I get the city to sign off on t...
Part 5: Almost there!
Its been along haul,,,,,,,,,,but its finally taking shape! The outside of the building was completed 3/5/09. It took from that date until the middle of May for the power company to decide what they wanted to do to get the power to the building. They finally decided to put in a pedastal in the back yard to run the power from. (at a cost of $1350.00). I had a seperate meter put in the shop so I could cut it loose from the house. I got a final on the buiding and the electrical on 6/19/09. The...
