Damn Near!

Rained every weekend I had off to work on this, finally I just started framing in the drizzle! Let there be Lumber: I work at Home Depot so I got to see my lumber leave the store! I quickly learned after framing this wall that a 28' long 2x6 wall is hard to lift! Built the rest in halfs...

We broke ground 11/30/2016: Got my electrical out there for sub panel: Finally Some Mud: And a quick driveway. Wish I had them pour to fence and square it off on other side.

So years ago I started a thread about my garage build. Shortly after competition I had to move! This is that thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=257631 Well its been a few years since I started but I started the new shop... here we go! 28x28 with 10' ceiling

Welcome from the East Valley!

I'm in AJ too... just started building my new garage... If I wasn't so lazy about uploading pics to be views I would have a build thread started already!!

But with the steel do you have to rub it down once in a while to prevent rust. I would hate to get rust on everything from time to time when I miss an oiling LOL

So the new garage begins I will post a link to new thread!

$3000 for a 24'x32' slab to start the new garage ugh.... better start saving pennies.

Thanks all for the kind words I will keep you posted on new build

The End! Hope you all enjoyed this... Now on to bigger and better things. My new house has no garage... yes you heard that right no garage... so I will be building a new garage 24' x 32' and rebuilding the bar in that garage bigger and better. Wish me luck.

Now for the bad news. After having several get together there including the best Halloween we have ever had. We had to move unexpectedly and I had to remove 80% of all of this from the garage. Here is what it looked like as I cleared it out and closed the garage for the last time.

I decided to lower the shelf under the map to allow for more bottles. A panoramic of its final look Work area open And that was it.....

So now onto the top. I did not want a basic top or anything too flashy really. I had a trunk of my grandparents and in it were lots of old news papers from World War II and some other scrap book stuff from the time period. So I decided to lay that in there and then gel coat the top. Here is...

Some Test Fitting The work bench unfolded in drive to get some work done Putting some color on the bar top To be continued......
