jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:08 PM

start'd biuld'n my new shop in late July, thought I'd share it here.

jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:12 PM

its 30X40, 30X30 garage area, 10X20 work shop, 3X7 half bath and a 10X10 tool shed in the back corner to keep yard tools outa the garage.
we did 2 foot concrete block and 10 foot 2X6 studs for a 12 foot ceil'n .
I got a 4 post and a 2 post lift to install.

jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:15 PM

get'n closer.
had the drive pour'd as well, 19 feet wide from the street to the back of the house then roughly 40X50 park'n area.

jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:19 PM

got the brick done and the work shop finished up, hange'n the sheet rock in the garage now.

the dark spot in the drive is a HopScotch pad pour'd in the concrete for my Granddaughter's !

Sillyoldman · 10-04-2012, 11:22 PM

Very nice.

**richard2717** · 10-05-2012, 07:54 AM

JRANGER · 10-05-2012, 01:10 PM

Jealousy...I has it

JointTech · 10-05-2012, 01:39 PM

I havent seen any of those General metal shops. Is it cheaper to stick build? Seems like a metal structure thrown up in a day plus some insulation and you have the same thing? Of course uglier

FrankieD · 10-05-2012, 01:46 PM

that is one sweet set up

there are some all metal shops in my area, I chose to stick biuld because I live in subdivision and I want'd to blend in as best as it could.
I hire'd two Amish kid's , they work'd with one helper for two days and two helpers for three days, at the end of the fifth day we shut the door's and I paid em.

pritch · 10-05-2012, 11:20 PM

New shops are awesome!

I almost didn't see that mixer, all camo'ed up like it is

I didn't think there were any front discharge mixers out there. Those were a Utah invention

W.I.P.72 · 10-13-2012, 11:38 AM

very awesome...

_Ogre · 10-14-2012, 05:16 PM

I know what you mean, while I'm happy with what I have but I already see thing's I wish I'd done different and even made some minor change's alraedy.

My biggest thing is that I wish I would have spent the extra 3k and had a full bonus room/attic built over the top of it. Instead I opted for storage trusses and have the center section floored and have a set of pull down stairs.

it was pretty straight forward, level'd and anchor'd one post , set up the second then install'd the cross bar, then level and anchor the second post.

Love the shop. Can we get some pictures of the yard shed, etc. areas?

jitteryguy · 11-11-2012, 09:13 PM

here is the tool shed on the back corner of the garage, there is 3X10 foot of storage above the bathroom and a space for the air compressor.
the Lawn mower will go in once I get the race car parts back out of it.
