Very nice, how tall?
Looks to be a 10 footer. Does it have scissor trusses to give more height for the lift?

Hello John
I see you finally got out of Conn, I hope it worked out for you.
My little garage in L.A. is empty, I have 36K sq ft in central Kansas.
My phone has changed, PM me for a new number, I would love to catch up with you.

Looks like some similar thinking as I put into my building. I chose to completely wall off the machine shop but put in a false wall to allow movement of big machines between the clean and dirty areas.

YES!!!!! Finally someone with luck as bad as mine. Just kidding!!!! I feel for ya' that's for sure, and that's the way that everything I do happens.
So who ordered the trucks of concrete? And if it was the contractor, and the crew didn't show up until 10:30, I think there would have been a couple people looking for a new job.

The saga for the concrete is over here:

My guess is the 10:30 crew was the replacement for the first crew the contractor was busy trying to bail out of jail.

Same dude poured both slabs? And both are f*cked up? Good times... Looks like it'll be a nice shop in the end, but damn.

Never heard of having a replacement crew for a job that size.

Hate that your concrete turned out like that. Hopefully you can get it resolved. What part of NC are you in?

Well keep us posted, I know it would be eating at me every time I had to walk across it.
Driveway is just about complete now except the part over the culvert. Culvert is the last thing required for car traffic to move in. Stones can be added later to make it look nice but it will be functional as is. It could be complete by the end of the week.
Still lots to do. I have to put up interior wall panels. I may wait for it to get a bit cooler.

Where did the building come from? Was it a kit that you put together or did you have a contractor build it?

I am thinking of a future project in the GSO area also. Could you please share in round numbers the $$ you have in the entire project? The building, site prep, exterior pad, electrical, plumbing, the whole enchilada in round numbers.

How big is the culvert?
I would prefer a minimum 18-24" for a wooded area so it is less prone to plugging up. Keep an eye on the upstream side as time goes by.
