Digging Holes For Shop Today!
I'm pumped , my contractor is actually working in my yard !
I'll snap some pics as it goes together , 1200 SQ FT shop/garage .:metal: took forever to get permits Its a pole building so today they dig holes , county inspects them , then the fun begins ! |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
That is great. I know your feeling. I just had my garage built this past winter and man! I didn't know what I was missing until it was finished. My 71 and 07 have a nice cozy home now to live in.
My son has his own gym up top with a Bo-Flex and other stuff. Oh yea his video stuff too! http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/...39989/pair.JPG http://216.77.188.54/coDataImages/p/...7/DSC00345.JPG |

Im glad it's finally started. Now the real stress starts. Are you planning on going back to work, or sit around watching people tearing things up?

Andy, thats pretty slick --- on the loft upstairs, did you have to "stick build" it , or did they use a pre-made attic truss ? -- what size is it? I have to build a new storage barn myself and would love to have a little hideaway up-top |

Actually I almost walked right into one of the holes when I got home tonite
(very dark) my wife happened to show up and took the auger pictures earlier in the day. heres were I just about broke a leg or some darn thing :o |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
streetstar,
The whole thing was hand built. The trusses were all delivered already built. The garage is 28'x24' with the upstairs is 28' x 12' heated space. Both sides have a crawl space for storage. I built trap doors on each wall to get in and out. |

Sounds like you're pretty excited about the project :lol: How big? flooring plans-- painted or tiled? (checkerboard floor kit -- i knew it) unfinished or drywalled and air conditioned? Is it gonna have a lift? -- please tell me it has 12' ceilings and a lift, plus a giant air compressor hard plumbed throughout the place, but mounted outside so you dont have to hear it, --- oh, oh, and a loft like Andy's so you can have a place to "write your mystery novel" -- hardwired for internet so you can check out the boards without the little woman wondering what your doing. Surround sound and satellite tv would be nice too :bling2: Sorry, i got a little excited and am living vicariously through your project. I am trying to budget for one of my own in the future (i have a big -a$$ garage, but its not quite the same as a separate , dedicated shop building) All the choices with doing your own shop can be a little overwhelming, and if you let your brain go into overdrive - they can cost as much as a small house :lol: |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Geeze I could only imagine stepping in them holes in the middle of the night. They should put some plywood
over the holes. Thats a liability. Maybe you should invite your grass dumping neighbor over to your place? |

(almost as good as this site) not sure about floor coatings or coverings alot of $ for little return except for show IMO loft YES ! sheet rock ? not sure just yet probably a combo of sheetrock peg board with this stuff for the lower 4 ' http://www.magnesiacore.com/ so many ideas so little time . ! |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
I love my trees too, but I'd be willing to fire up the chainsaw for a shop like that! As jealous as I am, I AM happy for ya!! :)

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Thats awesome. LOL at the the tree hugging picture. Can't wait to see it when its done. You all are making me want my own shop so bad now.

Got one of the man doors delivered @ 7 am this morning but thats all the news for now ! hoping to see posts in the ground when I get there tonite but I dought it , not scheduled for delivery till Friday . They charged me an extra 90 $ for longer post cause they started earlier than planned (worth the 90$ in my book) |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
No lumber or metal yet , but the porta potty has landed . Very good sign !
Just installed my 20 amp service for there air compressor last night . The ball is rolling ! |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
My contractor said the materials are scheduled for drop on friday and then they would set the post friday and start on the roof monday . More BS nothing happened today (friday)except there is a toilet in my front yard for no good reason.
I am a lil bummed . :( |

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!

Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
Don't want to sound as I'm high jacking but,... I thought you may want to know. They started in Feb. of this year which was suppose to be Janurary18. They were done in May with the build but I had to sheetrock and finish it with help from my brother-in-law and one of his guy's from work. They do sheet rock for a living. Thank goodness! I didn't like that at all, it's a pain in the you know what! I had a 80 amp serice tied to thebreaker panel in the house.
I have Direct TV in the upstairs and down stairs. One receiver works both TV's though right now. Upstairs is A/C & heated. Have to keep the kids cool and warm so they stay out of the house! If you want to see the whole story check my website out. |

This morning as I was warming up my car , I heard from about 15 feet away "Good Morning" one of the crew was at my house before 7am (good sign!) lucky he didn't surprise me near my car or he would have gotten punched , dark out and all . the guy said "do you mind if I work a half day thursday ?" I said I don't mind but I also don't think you should , if you want to o.k. So I get to see some progress tonite ! :metal: As far as suppose to start in Jan. mine was SUPPOSE to start in Sept. now my tractor guy is leaving for the month of Dec.

Hope there in my front yard when I leave for work Monday am . |
Re: Digging Holes For Shop Today!
When it's all finished you'll be walking around in a partial daze. You'll find yourself going out and visiting this new space with a can't believe I did it smile on your face.
"CAUTION" do not, I repeat do not work on your truck till this sensation subsides!! esll. :) Happy for you .... enjoy it! |

Wow, what an unusual and cool design for the building. Is there a method behind it, or is the design purely aesthetic?

Should they forget to remove the tractor let me know. Looks like its coming along nicely. Have you thought about a "Garage warming party"? I could bring a wrench or two.
