Well, another quick update. They tried to start the building again about 10 days ago. Once again they showed, drilled a few holes and there was just too much ground water. I decided to pay my excavator to come out and install a french drain along south side of the building pad. This is the...

Looking good! I am waiting to have my 30x60 put up. The materials are sitting on the ground and now we are just waiting on mother nature. They have tried to start twice now, but there was just too much ground water. I had my excavator put in a 4" french drain over the weekend. I am hoping...

Well, hopefully work will start on Monday. The building is going to come in, scrape off all the mud and water, and lay down another layer for gravel. They are then going to come in, build the building and then put a new top layer down. I am hoping this works out and building gets mostly done...

Well, its been a long day. The crew showed up at 7am, marked all the posts and started to drill. Well, they managed to hit my water line on the first post. I was not able to mark my water lines. I was told that the marking services will only mark water on the utility side. I thought were I...

Thanks! The contractor showed up this afternoon. He was able to get all the material laid out, snow removed from the pad and the building laid out. He said they would be back in the morning to start drilling the holes. It is going to be a mess. The ground is very soft and waterlogged right now.

I really wish this was an option. The county is forcing me to place the building 25' from my property line and with its currently location I am nearly in my pond. I will have to make the best of the square footage I have.

Can you send me a link to the fixtures you used?

No, they were really that saggy. They were not really even a true truss.

Well, work has not started yet. We got 14" of snow last Friday and Saturday. I am told they are going to start this Thursday, but I will believe it when I see it.

Well, the contractors did not start working today, but the utilities were marked again and more materials were dropped off.

All the material was dropped off yesterday. I am hoping they start in the next day or two. I will take some pictures tonight, if I am home before the sun goes down. These are the lights that I am looking at purchasing. I am thinking that 6 of them will be enough, but I am not positive...

Well demo started yesterday. I thought I would post a few few pictures of the building that was there. As my contractor started tearing it down, I was very glad I am having a new building built and not trying to rehad the old one. We found at that none of the posts were set in the ground...

Well, I just received word that the material will be delivered on 1/8 and they will start construction within 7 days. I guess I need to get the old shop cleared out and ready for demo.

I went with a 6" pour. It was only about $2500 upcharge from 4". This was on 1800 sq ft.

I just received word that my permit is ready to be picked up. I should have it in hand early next week. I am hoping to have the existing building torn down right after the New Years and the new building up by the middle of February.

I believe the concrete work was around 12k.

Below is an updated picture of the side elevation with the extended overhang along the length of the building. Does anyone have an experience with colored concrete or tinted sealers? I am wanting to find a different option then epoxy coating.

Great idea. I will keep this in mind

The deposit was put down last night. While we were going through options I decided to extend the lean-to the entire 60' length of the building. This will give me additional area to store stuff and will be a great area to throw parties. Now I just have to wait for the drawings to be complete...

I will be signing a contract and putting a deposit down on Thursday!
