Howdy y'all!!! You may have seen my earlier threads asking for advice on my shop build… well I put it to good use and I thought I'd post a new thread showing the almost complete shop before it gets filled in with all the tools!
My wife and I bought a farm, she gets a barn, I get a shop! I didn't build this structure (outside of my skill level) but if you're in the Austin, Tx area and are interested in a referral to the crew that did, I'd be happy to fwd their info.
Let me know any questions, I'm really looking forward to making some dust!

Things to note:
-20×16' footprint on a concrete slab.
-Love the out-swing doors - I will work with them open a lot and it will be nice not to take up the floor/wall space.
-TONS of natural light from the dormers, hard to tell from the pics, but the 4400 lumen lights are super bright, but almost not needed in full daylight!
-8ft walls but no joists in the middle of the structure - About 4ft of joist (2 joists) at the end of the roof on each side, will eventually be storage after I put decking on top of the joist.
-Metal roof with radiant barrier under - Not sure how this will perform with TX heat, but this may get insulated later.
-Board & batten hardie-board siding.
Electrical:
-Plenty of space left on the panel - 200A panel.
-Outlets @ 50" from the ground.
-The back wall has 2 110 circuits with 4 outlets (2/circuit) and 1 220v circuit
-All other walls have their own 110v circuits and 220v circuits. The 220v by the door is wired w/ 10 gauge wire to accommodate a future welder.
-Outside outlets on front and back wall (xmas lights, ground lights)
-Two Switched outlets on the ceiling for drop lights and extension cords.
-External AC disconnect (220v)
-Six 4400 lumen LED's with shroud (so far these are awesome, haven't seen them at night yet).
Still to do:
- Insulation & OSB wall-boards (this weekend)
- AC install (next week)
- Load'er up! (ongoing)
- Maybe a deck and definitely some landscaping (TBD)
I'll post some more updates as I get through the next steps.
This last pic is the general layout I'm going to try. The assy table is 4×8', so I might cut that down. I have to really work on organizing my current tool inventory… I'm moving from a 1 car garage, so more space, but I'm hoping to keep the flow better and have way better organization. I have the tools in the pic below, looking to soon add a DC and a bandsaw.
