New garage/shop finnaly under way!

[hunter-27]

New garage/shop finally under way! 9-13 UPDATE

Old shop?:crying: Ok, crapper of a shed! and some progressive steps

 

[hunter-27]

New building will be 28 x 48 with 12 x 28 partitioned off for dedicated workshop. I'll try to update as it comes together.

 

[Gary Max]

That is going to be so much fun-----heck you will get lost with all that space.

 

[wood-of-1kind]

Good luck with the 'build, Landon. I'm sure that it will be a great workshop.

 

[mredburn]

I think you might want to up your dedicated workshop area. You will over run it in no time and there is nor reason to waste space on something that can be parked outside. I have found no matter how big your shop is you will collect more stuff than you can fit in it.

[markgum]

The wife put the ABSOLUTELY not on that. You see the pic of my old work area, I'll be quite happy for quite some time. Plenty of room behind for an addition, just maxed out the building fund right now.

 

[hewunch]

I bet you can't wait! Enjoy.

 

[rjwolfe3]

I am so jealous!

 

[mickr]

I just completed mine & have most of my tools moved in & I have to say I miss my old cramped space!! I knew where everything was!!! I was inside my house & could grab coffee just a few feet away!...but the new space is grand too..when I get used to it, I know it will be great fun..hope your build goes well and congrats on that huge building

Another Step Closer

Getting closer.

 

[Fred]

Ain't it grand when a plan comes to happen. Amazing what one can do with a backhoe ...

 

[mredburn]

what type of construction? frame or block? I dont see any pipes, so no plumbing? Are you going to do an under ground electrical feed?

Mike

Mike

Frame with 2 courses of block above ground. no, no plumbing :frown:. Could not afford it so will have to do without.

 

[mredburn]

do you have to have permits and inspections?

 

[hunter-27]

yep, the inspection lady is not real nice but so far has passed each step, next step is foundation inspection after it is done on monday.

 

[Gary Max]

At this rate you will be moving into your new shop soon.

At this rate you will be moving into your new shop soon.

For that reason I wanted plumbing and climate control but it was not in the budget.

 

[hunter-27]

Closer

Another step closer. Yes, that is rain coming in the background(AGAIN).

 

[lundebc]

12 x 28 is awesome - when do you expect it to be "move-in" ready?

[johnnycnc]

Lookin good!
I'm jealous!

 

[hunter-27]

Gaining on it.

1/3 of the way on the floor

 

[PenPal]

Hi mate

My friend a while since we spoke but I want you to know it reminds me of the Aussie Movie
Crocodile Dundee when Hoges has a guy supposedly in the big apple pulls a knife on him so he pulls out his enormous knife and made that prophetic statement now thats a knife.

Mate thats a shed to end all sheds, with your weather extremes will you insulate all round I have visions of a Sauna or Icebox? Do you have heavy snowfalls, what pitch is needed for snow?

Anyway good fortune to you since my dealings with you tell me you deserve this fine shed.

Kind regards Peter.

 

[mredburn]

I take it you poured your side of the shop first.

 

[hunter-27]

Wellllllllll...................:biggrin::biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

Wire mesh? fibre fil? I take it you used 3000psi, what does a yard of mud go for in your area of the woods?

Fiber fill is $100 buxx a yard.

 

[hunter-27]

Rain

RAIN DELAY, no progress today! :at-wits-end::at-wits-end:

 

[hunter-27]

Walls & More floor

WE HAVE WALLS!!!!!!!:biggrin:

 

[PenPal]

hunter 27

Progress is being made ,i had a desire to make and send you a re bar pen to remind you of the ground work alas customs knock back however wish you well look forward to the progress reports.

Regards Peter.

 

[hunter-27]

Ty for the thoughts.

 

[mredburn]

Lets see, final slab pour tomorrow and finish the walls. rafters/trusses plywood and dried in by sunday? 1 long extension cord and your turning by monday night. How much of the work are you doing yourself?

 

[hunter-27]

Carpenter I am NOT! My part is almost done until time for wire and sheetrock.

 

[hunter-27]

Floor is done

Well got the floor done, now it needs to quit raining(again)

 

[mredburn]

Rain is good for the curing of the slab, you should keep it soaked for the first seven days and keep wetting it for a month. Reduces cracking. And those namby pamby carpenters can just get their butts up there and get those walls up. You do have lights dont you. Mike

Wet for 7 days I can handle:wink:, but I had better see wood on the floor before ant dang month is up.

 

[hunter-27]

A liitle further

Between rain storms it has gotten a bit further.

 

[mredburn]

Have you layed out your shop area yet? better start planning for future expansion.

 

[hunter-27]

I havent even put anything in it yet and you are talking "expansion". You are Killin' me, and my wallet by the way.
