Hi everyone,
This is a cool website. Well I just would like to join you all in sharing what I have going on. This is the beginning of my dream shop. Been waiting for this for over twenty years. The main shop will measure 24’ x 30’. An 8’ wide porch will go down the length of the left side, half of which will be enclosed and accessible from the main section. I’m having an Amish contractor build it. I was very fortunate that they dug the holes and got the posts set and concreted in before the hurricane. I’ll try and keep you posted on the progress.

Well, I beat the hurricane and the guys got the posts set. Trench for electric conduit stayed dry enough to pass inspection so I filled the trench back in. The guys finally made it back and the shop is progressing well. Concrete comes this Friday for the slab.

Hey all,
It’s been a while since I have posted any progress photos. Currently I’m framing up the interior walls for wiring the outlets, insulation, wainscoting and drywall. I just have the basic wiring done. One interior light, exterior lights and two outlets.
I’ve also started moving in some of my equipment. I do plan on focusing more on hand tool woodworking, but there are still too many home improvement projects where I will need the power equipment. I don’t think I can completely divorce myself from it.
I hope I will be operational by the end of the summer, time and money permitting.
Enjoy.
Have your say...
