Above 1200 Sq/FT Finally build my, long needed, shop

[Toolfool]

My back side. Is it just the lighting, or is your Hawaiian blue a lot darker than mine ?

 

[Michael B.]

It could be the lighting John. All of my pictures were made when it was very overcast/raining.

 

[Michael B.]

Lunchtime progress on Monday. They said that they might finish tomorrow.

 

[jbrentd]

I have a feeling I will be requesting to work from home a lot more once mine gets going just so I can see it progress and document it, like you are doing. Exciting to watch, I am sure.

 

[Michael B.]

I wish I was able to work from home. I worked with the crew for the first two days. Now I only see them at lunchtime and after I my work day is over.
They made good progress today.

 

[Toolfool]

They over-estimated their abilities.

 

[Michael B.]

I think so!

 

[thewings]

Looking good. Congratulations !

 

[Michael B.]

Thanks!

 

[Toolfool]

The copper looks good.

 

[Michael B.]

Thank you John! Hopefully today they will install the rest of the roofing. It was too dark yesterday, when they finished, to get a picture. I will post one later today.

 

[Michael B.]

End of day Tuesday.

 

[Toolfool]

Uuuumm, .....

 

[Michael B.]

The roof is finally complete! It’s not a great picture. It was late again and raining.

 

[Toolfool]

Now you can start imagining how you'll fill the space !

 

[Michael B.]

John I don’t think that will be a problem sir! I’m building out of necessity.

 

[Michael B.]

John it turns out my halftimers is working overtime. My blue is Gallery blue not Hawaii blue like yours. I had considered the Hawaii blue for awhile but decided on the darker color.

 

[Michael B.]

They were short 5 pieces of trim to finish today

 

[rixtrix1]

Great looking building. Should work out great with all the cool stuff you have to put in it!

 

[tros]

Very nice i like it

 

[Wheelingit]

Awsome! Real nice.

 

[Michael B.]

Thanks guys!

 

[Kevkx125]

Michael build looks great!!, can't wait to see how you finish off the inside.

 

[Chrisb62]

Interesting color choices on roof and siding panels but together they look great. Another person waiting to see how cool the inside looks.

 

[Michael B.]

Thanks guys! The inside will be a slower process, if that’s possible, than the shell of the building. I have a couple of ideas in mind but we will see what the economics dictate. None of my considerations involve Sheetrock. Sheetrock just won’t stand up to my work style. I have been very hard on the Sheetrock in my two car garage. A lot of repair work is waiting on me after I move everything out.

John I don’t think that will be a problem sir! I’m building out of necessity.

I hear you loud and clear !! I'm in the same situation.
When I bought this property I thought I could get by with the 24x25 "shed" that was here as my shop. Turns out 35 years as a GC produces a LOT of STUFF .







My 2-car attached garage is full ( my wife can't wait to inherit the garage ) . And I have three other vehicles I'd like to keep out of the Florida sun ( it's hell on leather interiors and clearcoat ).

 

[Michael B.]

John, tomorrow is our 29th anniversary. In all of those years together my wife has never parked in a garage. But her turn is coming ;-)

 

[Toolfool]

. We hit 34 years October 24th ! And my wife has never parked in a garage !! ( Congratulations on your Anniversary )

 

[Michael B.]

I introduced Samson, my 1978 HJ45, to his new hideout today!

 

[Chrisb62]

Plenty of room for Samson, in fact he looks lonely...... I am sure there are lots more things to put away with him.

 

[jbrentd]

Looks great! I see many sore muscles in your future, as you get it fill up.

 

[Michael B.]

@Chrisb62 I will be clearing the driveway soon, refer to the above pictures.

 

[Michael B.]

Samson’s brothers joined him today.

 

[Chrisb62]

Finally .............
Everything looks better now.
I saw all that older iron before and was wondering when we would get that "money" shot.
AWESOME

 

[GreenIron]

John, tomorrow is our 29th anniversary. In all of those years together my wife has never parked in a garage. But her turn is coming ;-)

A belated, Happy Anniversary.


Your shop looks great, Michael.

 

[Michael B.]

Thank you Mike!

 

[Michael B.]

Here’s an interesting perspective.
Before, during and after.

 

[Michael B.]

I received a belated anniversary gift from my wife today!

 

[Kevkx125]

Nice gift Michael!

 

[Michael B.]

Thanks!
