**** Skinny Shop wit Cave ****

Started the build in May 2015. Kinda late to the build thread.

I'm Appalachian American so expect my grammar and spellin to be way outa the park!!

I have been workin/hobby out of my 28x28 garage connected to the house foe 18 years now and have out grown it. I started lookin on CL for sometin used in the 36x28 range. As I looked for a couple months a used red iron steel 50x60 come up for sale for 5k

Dirt work. Had to do bout 6' of fill. :3gears:

Bib Overalls · Jan 19, 2016

Sure looks like Alabama red dirt. 6' of fill! By definition, there is no flat ground in Appalachia. 50' x 60' for $5K is a deal. New, the red iron package alone would have been more than that. Hope you got the bolts and the blueprints.

That looks like a nice piece of property there. Neat to see you recycle an old building. Will be watching this one.

SkinnyPedal · Jan 30, 2016

so we got the building up and found out we did not have the end wall. :headscrat

O well, seems everyone not so honest on CL. :shocking:

LOL

I did the ends in green on purpose.

Yes that's a piebald deer in the pic. She is bout 7years old this year

Thanks,
Just a really small budget so trying to get all I can per dollar. I have some more repurposing on in the build. Used an old hay wagon for a loft and a singer sewing machine base for a sink base in the bathroom.

Some inside pics. U can see the 6'x4' shower recessed in the floor.
We put a section of pallet racks together and add castering wheels to it and used it for scaffolding to aid in erecting the building. Worked out great.

6' of fill ??!!!! Did you have to build a retaining wall ?

SkinnyPedal · Feb 1, 2016

Thanks

Didn't do a retaining wall. We did a slope

Moving a few things in and used the wash bay for the 1st time. Garage doors installed.

We painted the entry door with chalk board paint. I figured its a good place for notes.
