The old folding table was just a temporary solution. Finally got around to building this: Need to settle on what (if anything) I intend to do with the surface. The last 3' (on the right) will get 1/4" steel plate. Now I can get a little more serious with projects. -Hemicbx

OK guys, been quite a while since my last update. I’m not the best photo-documentarian out there. Luke7734, I just went through your whole build thread. Unbelieveable. That’s a great building! So the biggest news is that I’ve got my electrical in and got final inspection signed off on. The...

Big delays are past us and we've made big progress this week. Floor got poured. It's 4" floor except where the lift columns will go. In that area it's 10-11" deep in a 3' square (you can see the depressions in the pic above). No real need to be 10" deep, but that's just the way it worked...

The 'arctic blast' that we've been seeing on the east coast in January really put a hurt on things. We're hung up on concrete. When it's warm enough to pour, the grounds muddy, when it's cold enough for the ground, it's sub-arctic temps. Need to get some gravel brought in soon. In the...

Several of you have asked about that special scaffold/cart thing that the guys are using. Its a Rustgo Model 139. Really flexible piece. Here are today's pics. What do you all think about the broad expanse of tan metal above the doors and into the peak. We had talked about putting a...

I'll try to get some pics in the daylight of the scaffold wagon thing. It's a really cool piece. I didn't build it, it belongs to the builder's crew

Couple of pics from today

I do plan to put electrical hookup in the RV bay, but not in/out water. That just leads to too much commotion with the outgoing side. I also intend to put a 4x4 pad in the back corner of the RV bay for my vertical tank compressor. That wagon/scaffold thing they have is BAD! Nice wide base &...

Nice progress this week. Back wall and side walls are basically done:

Here are a couple of shots from the back of the yard just for reference: It's pretty clear how the front's gonna shape up now: And here is what the outer shell will look like. This is the outer wall of the RV bay:

It's been a crazy week here in VA. Last Saturday I posted pics for you with recent snow cover, and yesterday I'm walking around without a jacket. But that's let it be a productive week. Lots of good progress: I want to get out there today and make final determination on where services...

I wish it were warmer here. This cold weather work is tough on the building crew; and the schedule. But 104° is tough in another way. A nice 75° would be perfect! It will get heat eventually, but not this year. This year is all the necessities: building, electrical, lift, workbenches, floor...

Weather's been rough on the project this week but trusses got set in place and the roof purlins are ready. Plan is to roof it on Monday if the weather cooperates.

I'm in Augusta County near Staunton. It's a pretty good spot. Unfortunately, the garage is gonna block some of my best view, but it's all just a matter of priorities.

We just got started on a new shop here in VA. This shop is based off of one that I used to own and worked well for me. There is the overall plan: The 40' dimension across the front from the left is a true 4 walled, insulated shop with concrete floor. The additional 14' wide bay on the...
