haha ya the volvo wrecker is just down the road. My buddy shares a backyard with them. they are practically falling into his yard!

welcome, where in BC are you?

I used my engine hoist to lift mine in and out. Worked really well just remember, like you said, tyhat it is really top heavy!

Very nice! I was gonna say the same thing about two cars in a 20x20! not a chance in mine!

I was going to comment on the lack of tools etc in the shop but I see your still moving in. Very nice.

I just picked up similar shelves. they are from a sawmill in their mill stores. Very easy to put together. I got 3 sections and 5 shelves per section. I am replacing wooden poorly built shelves. For small parts storage I picked up a large yellow cabinet with plastic drawers in it called a...

nice! Why such an odd roof line?

haha clutter... ya right! I got 10X that amount! :D The addition looks great! I can't believe how fast it went up! I am hoping to do something similar to my shop but it can't be a pole barn. I like the lumber rack idea too.

all good points made above. Also for a 16' door do not go with a 1/3 HP motor. 1/2 HP min.

sure the 4'x4' sections will work but it will look horrible. Getting a consistant color from pad to pad will be impossible and you will end up with some dark and some light. Also different surface finishes. You will need to add rebar between the blocks to stop them from spreading due to freezing...

the 10x50 area is roughly 5 yards of concrete at 3.5" thick. Not something I would do on my own and I used to place concrete for a living! Hire a company. Forms for a regular pad are not that hard to do. 2x4's work fine and then pound stakes in every few feet to keep it from bowing and moving...

very nice! I was trying to figure out what was up with the door openers then saw the beam in the way!

wire mesh is good to use as it comes in rolls. the thickness is what stops the cracking (and the base prep) the wire mesh or fibermesh stops the cracks from spreading. Most driveways are 3.5" thick (width of 2x4) with wire mesh or rebar in them. Two layers of wire mesh is overkill. Make sure the...
