I had a 30x35 pole shed put up that was originally just going to be for storing my boat and other toys but thanks to everyone on Garage Journal I made it a little more than that.
I don't have any pics of the construction because they delivered the material on Saturday afternoon. I watched them unload it and then went back to the lake. They were done on Sunday afternoon before I got back.
Here's What it looked like when I got back minus the door which a buddy and I put up.


And that is how it was for about 2 years until I got around to finishing the rest.

Then I finally got around to getting the concrete done.
Installed tubing for floor heat.

Got the concrete poured, an approach, and some gravel.

Then filled it with stuff.

A couple quick sketches of the plan.


Then I put osb on the walls. Along with several coats of paint.

A lot of the pics are blurry :( but it's all I got.
Well then I blew insulation in the walls, installed a metal ceiling, blew insulation in the attic, and plumbed in the heat (which should look pretty familiar since I got the design and parts list from this site).

Put the kids trampoline together for xmas.

Hung the TV.

Put up a few cabinets.

Dog had to check out the cabinets.

Painted the fridge.

Then finally built drawers and doors for the cabinets and got everything painted.

Then I finally got off working on the garage for awhile and started on some other projects that have been waiting in line.
Had to put an axle in.

Then got started on the new back end for the bike.

I like how you painted the walls...I'm thinking about doing something like that in my shop. Also, your bike project looks pretty neat. Looking forward to see how it turns out.

Yeah now I wish I had more room for sure.

And Farmboy, if you plan to do the stipes just make sure to paint the base color over the tape pretty heavy. I taped off the white and just put a light coat of white along the tape edge and I still got quite a bit of bleed through. On the grey I put it on pretty thick along the tape line and it made a nice line without the black bleeding onto the grey.

I'll keep that in mind when I get to that point. Thanks for the tip.

That shop is nice. The painted cabinets turned out great. I like the whole color scheme.

Couple new additions this time home.
Found a deal on a compressor, got a 60 gallon puma for 200 bucks and got it plumbed in with a rapid air kit.
Built a tire rack
And got all the jackets and boards hung up.
