I know you mentioned not wanting to block off a side with the 2 post, but I would put that lift in the far right bay, as far in as you can with it, and then put all your tool boxes in the section farther to the right. Then maybe put the 4 post in the middle bay that way you're not getting too...

Looks good, you're making great progress! The drone pictures are awesome, looks nice how you got the fence tied in with the porch. What made you decide to go with the swing out door? Also I'm in Kansas right now and this polar vortex ain't no joke!

If the camper in the building is something you could convince your family to do, I would lean towards that option. You could still put a full bath and kitchenette in the shop to help alleviate some of the struggles that come with camper living.

Not trying to be rude, but check out the 'Lighting & Electrical" section of this forum. There is tons of great info about all different types of LED lights. There's also a member on here named Platonic Solid, who is extremely knowledgeable on everything to do with lighting and gives a good...

Congratulations on starting the process, that's good progress for day 1. Tough time of year to build, hopefully mother nature will be kind to you. Do you have any sketches you can share? Also what are the specs for your slab?

Good luck with the post digging this week. Hopefully you'll get some good results. But it's a tough time of year to build anything underground, just try to stay patient cause in the end it will be worth it.

Absolutely amazing build thread! Everything looks top notch, great job getting it done over the course of a couple years. You have some amazing toys, congrats on the latest vette purchase. I am also surprised you haven't blown the circuit running only a 40 amp but glad to see you still have...

Just finished up working a big solar job down in Florida, we tried several different brands of cordless impacts, Hilti, Milwaukee and Makita. Overall Makita worked the best for us in that environment.

Great build, that's a nice shop. Any big lessons learned? Now looking back are there things you wished you would have done differently?

Great thread so far, appreciate all the detail and pictures. Looks like you've got a great foundation established Tough time of year to build up north, but good luck!
