Thank you! It's been a dream come true. Even with the ups and downs that are associated with construction, I'll have something to hopefully enjoy for years to come Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Yes it has been a pain. I just couldn't stomach the idea of filling the pool in. We enjoy it too much. A pool is definitely a labor of love. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Looking forward to the upcoming pictures of progress. It's a fun process Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

We were able to get the lights hung last weekend over the main shop area. This week/weekend I made some headway on installing more girts on the walls, hanging steel and osb, getting the ceiling fans up and getting power to the openers. I was also able to get the concrete poured back around the...

Picking up where I left off. Blow in insulation went in Thursday and overhead doors were installed friday. Over the weekend, with the help of some friends we were able to get the lights installed over the main portion of the shop. I went with 16 8' 4200 lumen led fixtures from lithonia. The...

Thank you. My friends who sprayed the foam take a lot of pride in what they do. Thank you! Well today they got the blow in insulation up in the attic, installed the finished entry door and wrapped the beams on the porch. Hoping for overhead doors in the next few days. Sent from my SM-G930R4...

The guys got the ceiling hung today. Blow in insulation is going in wedsday or Thursday. I got confirmation that the ceiling will have an r-40 when they're done. Hopefully the overhead doors will follow towards the end of the week. I decided to hang steel on the top 8' of the walls and go with...

No fiber. There's a 3' x 3' grid in all of the concrete. I must not have added a picture the first go around Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Here's a short video of the foam getting sprayed Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

Well it's time for some more progress pictures. My buddies were able to move some things around to squeeze me in. They started today and should be done at the end of the day tomorrow. I'm having them spray 3" of closed cell foam on all the walls. I should end up with an r value in the range of...

Awesome story. I ended up in a similar scenario. The house I grew up in that my parents built by themselves came up for sale a few years ago. I missed out on purchasing it, begged the new owner to sell it to me for more than he paid but he wouldn't budge. Fast forward 2 years and a house 3...

Thanks! There is expansion joint around the posts, I also placed 2" foam board around the perimeter vertically below the concrete and fill to help with insulating the floor. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk

I'm in the process of building my shop. I wanted a bathroom for the simple fact of not having to walk 200 feet to the house, be able to get cleaned up before I tromp mud/grease through the house. We do a fair amount of entertaining and this way we can stay in the shop and keep everyone out of...

The holes are 18" diameter by 48" deep. Originally they thought they may have to use a pump truck due to soft ground and not sure if the concrete trucks would get stuck. The concrete guys refused this option as it would have involved setting the truck up in my house driveway, laying 200+ feet of...

Some pour a footing with a full foundation as well. The holes are 48" deep with a 12" thick concrete pad in the bottom and the post is encapsulated in 3/4 ballast. The bottom 6' of the post are pressure treated lumber. A friend of mine had his old building catch fire a few years ago. His...

Monday the guys came back and poured the remaining section in the shop and the approach. I kept the entire floor flat except for a small section up front by the overhead doors. It was from my experience, even with a sloped floor, I still had to squeegee water so, I chose to have the majority be...

Originally they had planned to do the whole floor in 1 pour. What the poured today is "flat and level" the remaining section will be tapered to the drain. They didn't want to fight trying to get the slope right with so much other concrete to watch. I'm just ecstatic I'm finally moving forward...

After what seems like forever, the skies cleared up and the rain finally quit. The belt truck showed up at 6:00 am this morning and we had concrete rolling by 7. The guys were able to lay down 35 yards in under a hour. Monday they will pour the remaining section inside the shop as well as the...

This is down the street about 2 miles from my house. The beams and wood work is incredible. You are correct about hosting weddings. Been to a few of them and they do make for a unique backdrop. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk
