Oh man that looks clean! The walled off area of the loft is sort of an office area for my side hustle. I son and I have an extensive video game collection and to afford it I buy, sell and repair games and consoles. It was starting to take over the house so this space made sense.

About 6’3 up top and about 6’6 on the bottom, give or take an inch. Just about as good as you can get with 14’ ceilings.

Just about anything will work just don’t use the cheap **** that comes free with surround systems these days. 100ft of 12g wire on amazon is $14 shipped.

I like loud tunes when I have a grueling 4-5 hour session in the garage. Total Investment in shop Stereo...about $25. :rocker:

Yes sir. Cranked it and went out to the street to see how loud it was. Had to turn it down. LOL

Picked up some 6" recessed lights from Home Depot on my way home. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-6-in-White-Recessed-Lighting-Housings-and-Trims-6-Pack-CER105/202025123 $65 for 6 off them with the trim piece is awesome. Threw 4 up to see how she looked and I am very happy...

THIS! I am using an old Sony 5.1 Receiver with a powered 10" Sub, old Sony rear surround speakers and a pair Sweet Technics SB-CR77 Speakers I scored at a garage sale for $5. With an adapter I can play from my iPhone wired and call it a day...at least until my wife texts me to turn it down.

Ugh for real. I feel like I am building my house again with money flying in every direction. I only plan on doing this once so in the grand scheme of things, $15K over the original "budget" is not a huge deal. My German Shorthair does not dig at all but the Wirehair has a knack for figure out...

Thanks! I went with a local small construction company. 2 man outfit and they contract out the fill/lot prep work, cement, and electrical and they use trusted local crews. So far I think we are somewhere in the $45k area. When all is said and done after HVAC, interior finishes(all insulation and...

Well this is how much light I have at night. Not too bad for 4 8ft bulbs. I think I will install 6 sets of these and hold on to the rest for possible future use. I guess I could sell what I am not using and recoup the cost for them :headscrat

Dog door installed and two lights hung to see how much light they throw. I dont want to wire up all of them if I really only need 6.

Found this sweet Walker Roll-A-Car 740 on Facebook Marketplace for $20. Couldn't say no Today we got the office in the loft studded out along with a half wall/rail and a staircase rail. Also got all the outlets wired up. Tomorrow we attempt to get some lights hung. My wife worked on the Outside...

No Pex. Decided to put my money elsewhere and not do the heated floor. If I had a choice I would have made the entire shop bigger and a larger Lean too. Unfortunately due to the Wetlands around me, any bigger and I would have had to dump considerable money to "fix" the flood plain area. If you...

Unfortunately I don't :( Is that avatar of yours your collection of Hazet boxes? If so, good lord! I never see those in the wild.

Well we are about 90% finished with the build. Still need doors but Loft is done, all electrical run and tied in to the house. Should have the inspection done today and then I can get cracking! WooHoo! Here you go man! Loft pics.

Special Delivery from my Father in Law yesterday. A bank of 10 base cabinets in Cherry for the new shop. All soft shut doors and drawers with some really unique options we will get into at a later date :evil: We have Electrical/Internet going in tomorrow and hopefully Loft build starting.

Final grade done yesterday and slag driveway complete! Just need it to rain and it should set up pretty good! Today the Loft and Stair lumber will get delivered and should get hammered out early next week along with electrical. Concrete is sooo smooth when its new. Skateboard approved!

It does match, It's the angle ;) The matching siding/shingles was an HOA requirement and honestly I am glad it was required. I probably would have gone metal to save some money and not been as happy with it. This way it really looks like a part of the home. Typically you wouldn't put a barn...

Siding done and Slab cuts made!

Looks Great!
