well folks, I’ve had one of those major life events this summer, I moved from Central NY to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
Above is what I hope will soon be my new workshop. A one stall carport/garage, with a lanai section to one side. I’m going to close in the one stall, leaving the lanai (porch) section open. that will leave me with 11×20’ of workspace, with a concrete floor etc… (it was a garage after all)... a mere 5’ from the back of the new house. 
that’s the shop side
and 
and the lanai section.
I also have a small shed which is where the yard tools and some lumber will be stored.
more pics and a build thread when I get that round tuit.
below is my old shop which is still at the NY house.
Here are a couple of views of my nearly completed workshop. It’s gambrell roof mini barn, 10’ side walls 12’ x 20’ set on blocks over gravel. I’ve done nearly all of the build, with the help of a couple of great friends, as well as my stepsons. I did farm out the roof after several abortive attempts to do the high work. In the end, I hired two of my neighbors to install it. I’ll also be hiring an electrician to run at least a sub-panel, and possibly a separate service to it, depending on which is cheaper. 
Here’s an interior shot, mid construction. I’ll update this a lot in the next couple of weeks, as I’m about to move my gear into the shop.

will do, It’s almost to the move in state, I’ve got to hang the 2nd Main door, and then I can start moving gear up from my storage unit.

Looks great. Similar to mine. I bought mine already put together. Did the wiring and heating myself and finished off the inside.

It’s a good little place to get things done! My shop is 14’wide x 18’ deep x 10’ high not coounting my office and restroom, which adds another 5’ x 14’ When I don’t have to live here any longer I will have much more room for storage and I can take down my climbing wallso I have more room. Currently I am losing 560sq.ft. of workable space. I also have the ability to work outside in my driveway which gives me double the space. on sunny days. In California that is a lot of days when it is dry and warm enough to work.
Nice place though and the feeling of building it yourself is always a plus!!!

Unfortunately, it looks just about like that still… funding has dried up, so for the winter at least it is closed and waiting for the money tree to sprout.
