Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT 30x40 AZ retirement shop!

[Boxerider]

Construction is under way on the shop I’m building to goof off in for the first year of my upcoming retirement. (I’ll be 53 at the end of 2025 when I pop smoke, and will likely go back to work but I don’t yet know where/what I’ll be doing)

lol, no… I just started when the public safety retirement system was a 20 year plan. Our local real estate market is kept kinda high because so many Californians are coming here after selling their CA house for crazy money

Welcome from Chandler! I just retired, too, with a new shop. Your's looks like a great place so far to enjoy your retirement, especially since you're starting 19 years before me, lol!

The stucco crew has been awol, but finally showed up today to do stucco math, I assume, for a Monday start….we paused the roofing so they don’t have to walk on it….

Next week, insulation and drywall begins!

 

[inphx]

Love the steel roof!

Seems like stucco crews are hard to keep on task…. But things are moving. Windows, insulation…. Drywall is stacked waiting for a crew… bendpack 2 post lift is waiting in the periphery to be stood up.

Finally got a little progress… stucco, and garage doors.

Trench for the electric service awaits an electrician to fill it.

I lost track of time and the internet, and didn’t really take pics…. But she’s about done

Very nice! Looks like a beautiful area too. Congrats on the build and early retirement!

I pulled the pin at 53 but it's taken seven years to get my build underway and you beat me to the finish line. Congratulations!

 

[rixtrix1]

Inside of the shop turned out very well!

You've got plans to put the flares back on the CJ, right?!
