New Garrage-Workshop under construction.

Thanks for the post. I will be following this construction post. It is always nice to participate in a new shop’s construction.

Thanks Scott for viewing and following..
Take care.

I think I will follow this also. We seldom see any masonry construction here(too expensive, I guess). Congratulations on a good start.

Thanks Thos for viewing and following.

The estimated construction cost for shop and two car garrage plus a bedroom with attached bathroom,
is about USD 11,200 (MYR 40,000). If I go for lumber and gypsum boards/ply sheets, the cost could be around USD 8,400 (MYR 30,000).
However, brick/masonry has more advantages over lumber in term of mantenance & durability.

thanks for the post ! I miss palm trees !!!

Looking good. Looks like it’s going to be a nice size. And the cost isn’t to bad. I can’t wait to see more pictures of the progress.

Congratulations Woodworm. You should be very proud of your new place! I look forward to seeing more of it and seeing you enjoy the comfort and pride you put into it.

Blessings!

Thanks all for your kind woods and encouragement.

Socalwood - No problem. It’s me who sholud be thanking you for viewing.

Those coconut palms (were there before I was born) belong to my neighbour.

Chris Wright - It’s going to be my car garrage if I have the chance to build a home at the back.

Jemillion – Hopefully I would be able to visit my hometown more frequently to update the progress.

Take care every one of you.

I look forward to seeing the progress. I guess the brick construction will help keep it cool inside also, a nice added benefit over wood construction.

Thanks Paul,
Another aspect that I have thought of is security. There have been many occasions in that area where “uninvited” & “armed” guest broke in and ransacking the whole house while the home-owners were sleeping.

Though steel grill is not 100% fool-proof, it may be a bit harder for them and take times.

Sorry, just ignore this….clicked twice by mistake.

Hi woodworm,
Seems to be very nice workshop. I think the pros of a garrage-workshop is, when you need extra space, you can share with one (or even both) of the car garrage.
Looking forward to seeing the update of the progress.
Good luck.

Congratuations woodworm, Looking forward to seeing your excitement as the project nears finishing. Nothing like having room. :) I’m happy for you.

I hope I will be able to visit this project by next week, when I can take one or two shots and update the progress.

Thanks alot!
