Any updates?

So, million dollar question, what is a rough estimation of cost for a structure like that?

 

[Ben Iv]

I dont get how she can complain that garage looks a million times better than that white r panel building.

 

[scheu]

Did the neighbor get you shut down?

nice job on getting the shop of your dreams. be carefull on fighting with your craby neighbor just let her eat herself up. you don't want to start a war kind of defetes the point of having a dream shop if everytime you open the doors to do somthing the cops show up. keep on truckin wish you the best of luck finishing it up!

 

[dipper]

ya, nice build you got going on there. somehow i missed this one but subscribed to see the future progress on the building and the batty neighbor.

Bob, I stumbled on this one this morning and have read each posting. This is a fantastic build and I am quite envious. I am subscribing so I can follow the progress and look forward to watching it all come together. Congratulations and thank you for taking the time to share.

I probably ought to get back to work now...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. We have been working on a lot of small projects on the shop. The crazy lady has been all quit this summer and I hope it stays that way for good. But I have a few new pictures to share.

next year the hip roof on the other end of the house will be fixed

standing across the street

we changed the stair opening into the basement to open into the new breeze way.

we had to build a temporary front porch to pass inspection.

storage side cleared out for floor coating

shop side cleared out for floor coating

Should have the floor down next week and waiting on quotes for gutters. Thanks for all the nice comments. We are at just over a year on this project and I am ready to be done.

Thanks
Bob

Looks great!

 

[E.rodz]

no don't do it i can feel the pain with you and I know you must be burnt out and want to see somthing finished but don't do it your floor that is not yet .by the time you get all the wiring insulating,sheetrock ect ect. your floor will be trashed. I think you would be better off waiting. been there done that.kicked my self after.just take a break with your kids and walk away for a little while.

I'm jealous of everything your monster garage, your pizza oven and skill saw.

-Your Neighbor

With such a huge garage what will you be doing and working on in there?

 

[wallybob]

I would wait on the flooring but if not done now it will have to wait till next spring. The product we are using is a very heavy duty industrial flooring system. Not giving up just want to start using it. As for what I will be doing in it not really sure what for all of it. But I do a lot of work on my own cars and trucks. Also I do a fair bit of metal fab and with the extra space I hope to start getting some bigger equipment.

Thanks
Bob

Bump for an update

 

[ROOSTER6219]

Very impressed, tell the neighbor to sit down,shut up and hang on...i'll soon be getting started on amy 64x80 garage,now seeing your attached version i'm rethinking to make mine that way.... I'm finishing up a 48x42 8 stall barn now with a 2bdrm 1 bath apartment on top that will be my mancave....great work, enjoy

 

[bigblue02hd]

Wow... just read through the whole thread... NICE WORK!

Alot of nice new space you have there. And, I like how you've updated the house to match the garage!!!

Nice build, after seeing the garage up with siding and roof on it, I doubt you will hear anything from the neighbor lady again, it looks great.

I agree, in the beginning it was looking pretty awkward and out of proportion, but the finished product is very nice looking from the outside (and inside). They should be happy someone came into the neighborhood and cleaned up that house. It looks way better than it did!

 

[Nogglefish]

Wow, very tasteful - that came out REALLY nice!

 

[CooperS7777]

Excellent build, it looks GREAT! I cant wait to see the finished product!

 

[wallybob]

Just a quick update on the garage project. We have been mostly working on wrapping up the outside for winter. The driveway went in last month and the finally grading was done last weekend. We went with asphalt mostly because of the cost of doing a project of this size. The soil here is mostly all sand so this should help the asphalt last a long time. Here are some new pictures of the driveway. We are now working on insulating and hanging sheet rock in the breeze way. Thanks for all the great comments!!!

Thanks
Bob

 

[coostv]

Glad I subscribed! Looking great!

 

[NickWheeler]

Wow! That is just a fantastic build!!!

I suppose I could see the neighbors being unsure of your build if they thought you were going to scab together some shack of a garage/shop... but you have added a stick built structure that compliments the house amazingly well!!!

You've made the house and shop fit right in with the development next door. Kudos on a job well done!!!

 

[sids04]

Great build !

 

[garageking]

maybe the neighbor is worried your place makes her place look rundown,great build,goverment needs to stay out of personal property that an individual pays taxes on

 

[FatFenderBowTie]

Great build!

I had no issues with the neighbors or RM with my build, but when I was looking for a house it was amazing how many restrictions are out there.

If it ever starts up again with your neighbor you could always post this sign;

How much did this mansion of a garage cost? I think I can literally move my house into it.

This project turned out REALLY nice !!!

This is what I was thinking too. Some people don't have the ability to see the finished product until it's actually right in front of them.

Very nice building.

 

[mrgm]

in for the updates...and neighbor reactions.

 

[scheu]

Any update?

 

[JBAUTO]

Bump any updates yet?

Bob,
Any new progress?

I have lived several years now with a crazy complaining neighbor - I commend you for staying the course and going on with your build.

One question for you - how much of the build counts as "living space" and how much is considered storage space..... I'm intrigued about how you got the zoning / permits / etc figured out.

 

[ssathre]

great looking build. if your garage wasn't so big I would have thought that you moved on the other side of my neighbor... as it seems we live next to the same windbag. or maybe they are just related.

Congrats! now it's time to relax and enjoy, I'm sure it was a very trying process.

 

[jktruck150]

Bob, any updates? That place looks great!

 

[trickedoutms]

awesome project **** *** neighbor!

Anything new?
