Built the roof in 3 sections on the ground, then used a crane thats used for building steel grain bins to set them up

Putting up the tin & got the door hung, sorry for the lack of pictures, but i can never seem to take the time to take more lol

Covered the dirt with gravel, poly & rebar, no floor heat for this guy, just don't care for it.

That crane is a neat rig. What is it attached to? Tractor?

Had trouble finding concrete guys, ended up spending most of the winter working, but found some time to hang the clean burn furnace & get the tin on ceiling put up. We also got the walls insulated and OSB hung, didn't get any pics of it though.

And then finally today we poured the floor, trucks showed up around 9 but we didn't finish pouring till 1230, 2 loads got stopped by DOT's b/c of spring road bans. The floor is 6" thick, 30 MPA concrete, think it works out to 4300 PSI. The guys finished troweling around 7pm, I haven't been back out there to take some finished pictures.

Had a few more pics from the pour, but i guess im not smart enough to get them to upload lol.

Yeah it just hooks on to the tractor and has a hyd winch on it.

Made some more progress in the last couple days, 8x12 bathroom/storage room below, office up top, and a 4 foot mezzanine for more storage, below the mezzanine is where the workbench will be. Should be painting by the weekend!
