Hi guys,
Here are a few photos of my almost complete shop. I suppose it will never be finished now that I have moved into it and started working before it was complete. I have no pictures of the construction. They were lost during the big computer meltdown of last year.
With the exception of the excavation, All of the work was done by me. I sawed every board and hammered every nail. I even set the trusses single handedly. I had to rig up so many braces, supports and other helping hand type devices it almost cost me my sanity. I got it done though.
The main shop is 32 x 32. The front carport is 32 x 24 and the rear carport is 32 x 12. I had three needs when I designed it. I had to have a place to keep the stuff related to my lawn maintenance business. That stuff will be kept out back so I don't have to look at it. The front carport is for parking of the daily drivers. The shop is for maintenance and working on the projects.
As you can see things are not going according to plan. I was renting my elderly neighbor's large two car garage to keep everything in during my construction. She sold her place and the new owner wanted his garage. I had thirty days to get get my place to lockup. All the finishing work was done with tools equipment and vehicles in the way.
Because my work is seasonal, I'm finally getting the place in order over this winter. There will be more pictures soon.
Cheers
