So we decided we really needed a two post lift. The ceiling inside the building is only 10', so choices are limited (max jack etc..) but I didn't want to be crouching down under the cars. We decided to go with a full height lift and install it on the back 60x60 slab. I currently have a Whip...

Thanks!

Been a little while since I updated the pics. This is after pressure washing the floor. You can see the new two post that was delivered. Office coming together.

It took me a long time to put up the brown paper to cover the white, so I decided to try it a different way in the shop area. The lower portion of the wall in the shop is hardi plank. so I could wash the shop down. I used the joint between the drywall and hardi plank as the line. I figured I...

I pulled the paper off, (used the same tape I just pulled off) and taped the lower line for the stripe. I measured up 4" from that line and taped that off. I then hand painted the red stripe on. You can see my helper working hard in the pic.

Decided on final colors and picked up the paint. Decided to do a light gray on the bottom with a red stripe. I started by making small marks about 3' up from the floor, I then used a level to draw a line around the office, roughly using the marks as a guide. I then taped it off and masked...

I got really tired of rolling paint on the walls, so I decided to buy an airless sprayer. I noticed that Harbor freight had a coupon on theirs for $169, checked out some reviews and decided to pick it up today. I am very pleased with it! We unpacked it and put it to work right away on the...

Office primered and checkerboard floor installed.

Office drywall and paint.

power and water are on!

Found the place for the bonding screw. Thanks to everyone for their help! Power company installed the underground line a couple days ago.

Still need to do this. I was trying to figure it out, I looked but didnt see any provisions for it. Ill check again.

Forgot to post a pic of the panel. I did pull the tie bar off the bottom.

200Amp service. He wanted 3/0 wire. I had thought that 2/0 was larger so I used that, didn't realize it swapped around on the thicker wire.

Bathroom and office wall being framed out.

Electrical is going in also. I installed a 200 amp breaker box in the building. I also installed the 200amp service disconnect and meter box. Some guys helped me out on the electrical forum and I got everything installed correctly.

Plumbing is going in also. Its pretty simple with a single bathroom with toilet and sink, and a couple outside faucets. We cleaned out the old septic and replaced all the PVC lines going to it. I also installed a separate shop sink for washing hands etc... that wont drain into the septic. I...

Working on the shop again. We started on the interior walls. I didnt want to run drywall all the way to the floor, because I wanted to be able to pressure wash the shop out frequently. I decided to use hardi plank on the bottom 2'. Its a cement board that is usually used for exterior...

Thanks everyone for your help! Here are some updated pics. Inspector came by and just wanted a couple things changed. He wanted a certain hub on the top of the service disconnect, he also wanted the wire size from the service disconnect to the meter changed.
