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!

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 . :( |
