Proud new member of GJ.com family, and let me say in advance - thanks for great pics, write ups and future HELP that will be needed. Happy to make this my first post!!! I am about 2months into this build and BOY am I ready!!! Enjoy the pics and will update as time progresses.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm located in Eastern NC. I am hoping by weekend my builder will have the roof dried in, so I can begin pulling some copper and mounting lights. I have all the material waiting. This will be a slow build because once outside is done, that is where I will be taking over. Bank account will have to recoup also. Looking forward to updating...

One question I do have is, on a concrete block foundation, do you seal the blocks (inside and out or just seal outside). We have been having a lot of rain lately and notice the inside of blocks look to be damp. Sun comes out they dry fairly quickly. I will be in the near future epoxy coating floors and don't won't moisture to be a problem. If I need to seal block would love to do now before vinyl goes up.

Thanks
Carl

Update: Finally getting close to the end. The rains we have had lately has caused many delays, but crops are sure looking good this year!!!! Lights are done and part of receps are in. Absolutely love the lights. Have them wired in pairs/3way switches on the big side and on the little side have them where one switch turns on half of lamp and the other switch turns on full lamp. Now to building shelves and finishing floors. Hope you enjoy pics half as much as I do!!!

Super nice!! With regard to sealing the blocks I'm no expert but my instinct is to seal the inside with "Dryloc." or a similar product. http://www.drylok.com/formulas/drylok-extreme/

Great looking building. I really like the split face block. Are those T5 lights?

 

[PatStroud]

Nicely done! Looks awesome..

 

[angecarl]

Thanks, for all the comments!! To answer the few questions, it does have 12 1/2ft ceilings. T8 lights, (T5s were out of my budget). The yard keeping up was because of the wife!!! She does an awesome job!!!!
