Getting started on my dream shop...

That is looking great!

Beautiful home and shop, I really like the brick wrap you put around the shop, gives it some curb appeal.

Update: It's hard to believe it's only been a bit over 2 months since my last post, but thought I'd give a use update. House construction is still going strong, so driveways to the shop are still dirt/rock. As was the plan the shop is essentially being used for storage, so I've only been able to get a few things done.

One of those is lighting. Based on recommendations from GF, I picked up two 10-packs of LED lights, and they're working great! I've got 19 installed (had to leave out one due to interfering with the two garage doors and the center wind structure), but they give off plenty of light for general illumination (just running them off of a 100 ft. extension cord from temp power so far).

One other update is on the Nohr-S floor coating. It's seen a lot of dirt/grime that gets tracked in, either by foot or car. No wear that I've noticed. The other is oil drips. Two of the 3 cars that are parked there leak oil (hey, they're old), and I've missed the drip pans a few times, with the resultant drips staying on the floor for several days before I find them. They wipe up with a shop rag with no adverse consequences that I can find. I'm very happy with it so far!

Electrical, water, half-bath, all still waiting to be installed.

Y'all have a good one,
Mike

Huh? Those all look like late-model cars to me. Almost brand new.

Thanks! The older of the 2 Vettes is a 2000 model with 291,*** miles, the Crown Vic is a '03 model with 254,*** miles. The Vette has had the clutch replaced, the CV has never been dug into.

Thanks. The bricklayers did a great job, with great attention to detail. Here's a detail that they do on each end of the brick row, mitering the brick to cover up the holes. You can also see how they cut the brick to fit the corrugations in the sheet metal. Wasn't cheap but not that expensive either.
