Update: roof is complete, siding and rock facade is on

Well its been awhile and i have been in and out on travel and my Amish crew came in and disassembled the wall with Mason hammers, Reclaimed what they could. Built a temporary retaining wall for the fill and rebuilt the wall. With some extra reinforcements this time around. The concrete has been...

I don't think it would of been an issue if the walls were up. There would of been concrete and the cavity would not of filled with rain water.

There was footing with rebar and every 4th cavity was filled and rebar There was lateral reinforcement as well. The horrible downpour we had today was too much.

It's been a bit since the last update. Not much progress but alot has happened. I have been away on work and wedding and vacation travel so I asked the builder to not do anything while I was away. But when we got back they were back at it getting ready for concrete. Thursday they back filled the...

One of the fun things having a Amish builder build your shop is the surprise communications (lack there of). Thursday night I got a call around 8 and Noel (the builder) says "Mr Donley I will be there tomorrow at 7 to clean up the area before the blocks and cement truck shows up." Roger that...

Its is close to that. They Had to hit hard pack to get the ok from the inspector and because the area of the property was all fill they had to go deep. ...... The inspector just left happy so we go the thumbs up for concrete

Build has Finally started. The Footers were dug Monday and the inspector is scheduled tomorrow prior to concrete. I ended up going 24x34 and I am planning on a higher pitched roof to give a bit of useful attic space. The guys were not expecting to have to dig the footers as deep as they did. I...

So After a few delays for weather the Shop is breaking ground on Monday. I am very ready to get this thing started.

That place is going to be sweet and I followed your thread

I am interested in doing a couple floor outlets and do plan on ceiling outlets

I feel ya. I wired my existing garage with 2 sets or circuits alternating all the way around the garage "a/b" to alleviate over doing one circuit when I am running say the miter saw and dust collection.

Yeah I have no doubt that things will get shifted around for flow. Probably do some adjusting to the wall opposite the miter saw. I just do such a wide variety of stuff that it's difficult to set up for each type of work I do.

That's not too bad really. I was looking at one of the laguna units. https://beavertools.com/mdccf15110-laguna-c-flux-1-1-5hp-110v-cyclone-dust-collector.html

I do a wide variety of stuff, some furniture, tables, benches ect... turning, I do a decent amount of carved wood flags. That is probably the most produced item out of my shop. Then pens, then Laser cut signs, and the occasional table, bench, cabinet.

The electric company came back and quoted me 1900.00 to run a new service the 180'. Not as bad as I expected.

I agree they are taking up wall space but I currently have my slabs and stored lumber in the existing garage that starts about 7' up and it is sketchy getting heavy stuff up and down by yourself. I am really trying to eliminate that with this setup. Big heavy stuff down low or standing upright...

It is going to be a 100% dedicated wood shop with minimal metal work. Occasional booger welding for brackets and table legs ect...

That Harvey stuff is sweet but my budget does not include another 10k for dust collection. Maybe down the road.... long way down the road. I would love to go out to 26' but i am pushing the limits on the width. I have a Storm Management system "Stupid requirement" that I can not be within a...

I have a shed no far away that I keep green lumber in and I have wall storage in the current garage that is ladder accessible. As far as design tools I will have a ton of drawer space and I have a office in my basement with a laser engraver and computer stuff
