Things are still progressing but have been trying to keep caught up with my side work. A good friend came over and helped me get my block wall painted. We went with an epoxy paint in hopes I don't ever have to mess with it again. I also have some shelving units I plan to get installed in a week...

Well, I got the A/C Unit installed a few days ago and is now wired up after my electrician finished up some odds and ends yesterday. It works pretty good and boy did I need it putting the insulation in last night! I still plan to make a better support for it but at least it works for now...

Photos are back now, started a new account so it won't happen again.

Got the upstairs wall started. Its a short wall only about 40" tall or so but it will tie into the truss. We also finished up the headers above all the doorways and finished framing around my one window in this area. This morning I decided to start putting in insulation in some of the walls...

Got my electrical rough in and framing inspection today - PASSED! Starting to move in a few more pieces of equipment. More framing this evening. Looks like the Bandwidth to my Photobucket account exceeded its limit. It will reset itself in 5 days from now and show back up (bare with me if...

Well, had a few setbacks but my inner shop is ready for rough in inspection and I have LIGHTS! This is just temporary lighting until I can decide what to really spend my money on......... Also started working on sealing up the building with spray foam and got most of the perimeter done...

Spent the majority of the day shopping around for shop lights with no success! Drove all over Omaha, Nebraska and not a single place had what I was looking for. Also went to go buy tooling for my mill from a local company (MSC) who used to have items in stock and now have absolutely nothing...

I will just say this (because I had a bad experience with my builder) choose very wisely on the builder! I got 4 bids and they all were roughly $7500 to put up my building in my area with a Menard's kit. My gut instinct told me to go with the guy that I actually got to go see working on another...

Thanks, the Hemi has a special spot in my heart after everything that we went through as a team. I'm glad I got to prove to the world what I was capable of and helped my team get us a podium finish! We were the most awarded team last October and people are still talking about what we did with an...

Still no power but very close. Worked on roughing in my shop the past two days with my electrician and logged 9 hours so far. We roughed in 4 lights and 1 ceiling fan for both rooms, an outlet about every 4' in the Clean Room, 6 outlets for my big machinery in the Machine Room, various light...

Study what is written in your area, look for loopholes, and push the gray areas. This was my last straw before I was gonna pack up and move so I looked from every angle to make sure it was gonna fly! If your determined enough take the time to research and ask lots of questions either at your...

Dave, it is a Menard's kit that I drew up on their design center at the store. The only change out of ordinary on the building itself was the two scissor trusses in the back of the shop. Be wise with your builder, I didn't have good luck with mine unfortunately. I was quoted $7500 to put up my...

Thanks! With all of the rain we've gotten the past 2-3 weeks its certainly helped. I haven't turned on the hose yet!

Well, we got two coats of primer on the block wall in my shop tonight. Should have the epoxy paint on it tomorrow and the electrician will be here on Saturday. Cutting it close on the time frame this week. Also figured out that my phone takes panoramic pictures today (had no clue LOL) and...
