Well here we go. Wife says building a shop every 40 years is not to much, so I'm starting one now.
ALWAYS check and recheck contractors references AND his work.
I hired a bum for the pad. Poured 25x34, blueprints have 24x34!
8" deep footings, no post pier, no p-trap in the shower, sewer too shallow, anchor bolts in the corners, under studs and in impossible places.
NEVER poured the retaining wall for the tornado/bathroom and you know he won't respond to any communication.
"Fool me once,....."
Anyway here we go.
It's 25x34 with 12 ' eve's, a 25x14 mezzanine.
A 18x12 solar collector wall, (6) 2x10 skylights and a south facing 10x10 clear glass garage door.
Cameras, (4)-already installed!!!
High-pressure sodium lighting.
(4)-solar panels 12v 33 amp system for led lights and charging batteries/alarm system.
8x8 bathroom with. Shower.
Metal 2 tone siding. Gray over charcoal
It's primarily to do my machine work and welding in, but cars will always be there.
