After the wind quit

40+ mph wind finally stopped so a little progress was made.

 

[rjwolfe3]

Man that looks nice. I am so freakin' jealous right now, lol.

 

[mredburn]

Lookin good, Dry in by this afternoon? Looks like you can start running wire.

 

[jusaf]

I would love to have a workshop that size. I have to move the wife's car our of the garage and then move my tools out where I can use them. Then clean up and move it all back. I can't wait to have a two car garage.

[mredburn]

Nice clean lines, clean floor, doesnt it just make you want to make something to cover it in sawdust.

 

[markgum]

Landon;

At least I won't be embarrased to have someone stop by now.

And just think-----5 years from now you will have to climb over stuff to get your lathe---the walk ways will be so tight you will have to turn sideways to get to the door.
We are talking about adding a 12 x 20 just to use for storage.
Enjoy the space while it last.

 

[mredburn]

I bet it doesnt take 5 years

 

[Gary Max]

I don't see many trees in the background----:biggrin:

Funny how that works!!!! :biggrin:

I'm sure I'll be crowded eventually(too soon most likely) but coming from the 10 x 12 "crapper" I had it should be nice for awhile. :wink:

When this tread started, it was fun watching it. For an unknown reason, i fell more and more depress after each series of photo. wonder why ?

Great job. !

 

[hunter-27]

Getting closer.....

 

[mredburn]

Lookin good, nice clean lines,, electric is there, where's the sawdust?

 

[jimofsanston]

So where is the spare room section. You know you will be in there in the shop more than the house. My shop just passed final inspection do i get to do the inside and install the electric and the interior walls. Can wait. But it is going to be atleast another week before i get home to start.

 

[hunter-27]

Same boat here, final inspection over, I just need to get some TIME to wire and sheet the interior. At least the breaker box is up and ready, so far I have 2 openers and 6 outlets, not quite enough to start turning yet. :frown:

More pics of finshed(except the approach concrete(can't afford it yet)) exterior to follow soon.

Latest Update

Now I just need some time to wrap up my part(Interior).

 

[rjwolfe3]

Still jealous! It looks awesome.

The last time I checked there is only a single plug on the lathe :biggrin:. Doing the math.... it only takes one plug to start turning

Man, that looks great!! I wish I had one that large. Mine is only 16x24. There is still a bunch of work left to go on the inside but it looks like you saved a ton by doing it yourself.....

 

[randyrls]

Starting to shape up nicely! Be sure to remember the Hurricane ties on the rafters, and to tie them to the foundation. Wouldn't want your workshop to do a "Wizard of OZ" number.

 

[mredburn]

Where I live you would by now have had the following inspections
A soil compaction inspection and certification,posted on site,
1-a slab inspection, prepour
2- rough framing- for the walls and trusses
3-sheathing, for the clips, nail type, and nail pattern on the roof.
4-dry in - the weight of the tar paper and the nail type and pattern.
5-final roof
You would still need a rough electrical inspection, thats before you install the insulation, an insulation inspection, final electrical inspection, final framing, and then the Cerificate of use, Or occupancy,(depending on the structure and it use). Now you can legally use your shop.

 

[Rollerbob]

Yep Landon, I would say you have come a long way my friend. It is looking very nice from here. Looks like a good place to just to hang out!

 

[PenPal]

Landon.

Rapid progress indeed, I keep searching for windows and ventilation that probably exists. Noting the number of doors they sure make it easier to move around a workshop and separate his and hers.
Shed has clean lines and space a lovely feeling and I also see the barbie is ready to fire up for the celebrations to come.

All the best Peter.

 

[hunter-27]

Window on back, if need more air flow, I'll open the bay door a bit. It is a vented sofit all the way around. Too many windows invites too many ways for people to see too much of what is inside. Maybe paranoid but I know of a lot of shops broken into because of too much knowledge of its contents.

 

[markgum]

looking good my friend. and good point about the windows. Wish I had a couple of windows in my garage, but alas I just have the double car door, hate it when someone walks by and they stop and look at the 'stuff' in there.

 

[PenPal]

Landon

The front of my workshop faces the street so I bought two tiltadoors and double skinned and strengthened one from the two, hung it on the end and mounted it in front of the shop. When I work in there in the summer especially handy and private so I understand where you are coming from. It has brought a lot of puzzled looks parked at right angles to the workshop doors. Good thinking on your part it sure looks secure from that angle.

Regards Peter.

8-30 update

I'm forcing myself to refrain from filling the shop until I get it done.

 

[Wheaties]

Been following all your pics up to this point. It's looking awesome and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous. I don't know if I could hold off like you are to move in the tools! It looks awesome! Can't wait to see how you organize it!

 

[rjwolfe3]

Looks awesome!

 

[arioux]

Good thing. If you get the stuff in right now, you will never finish it. DAMHIKT

 

[Steve Busey]

Remember, the big side is the shop - the small side is the garage! :tongue:
