Looking great! I love the color.
The shop is almost done. The builder is waiting for a less windy day for the metal roof. It also coincides with turkey day so I don’t expect anymore progress until after the holiday. I had the Electric company out to look at my hookup. They told me and my neighbo, who is also an electrician what we needed. We were able to install the meter socket and weather head. They said 6 to8 weeks for the actual hookup. Not bad since it gives me time to gather up the rest of the electrical supplies. I painted the conduit red to match, but once it was up the paint wasn’t as close as I thought.

Build looks awesome, can't wait to see how you put it to use with the toys and tools that you own.
Things slowed down in December but now the metal roof is on. Still waiting for garage doors and 2 windows. It took me a couple days to get the vapor barrier on by myself and about a 1000 trips up and down the ladder. Metal ceiling is ordered and should be here within a couple weeks.

Where fro and what did you go with for a metal ceiling? I am torn between doing metal or drywall with plaster for mine right now.

If you dont mind sharing, what was the cost per sheet on the metal? I just got a quote for 5k to drywall and plaster the ceiling in the barn and loft and it might be a bit out of my price range. I might have them requote with just taping the seams and joint compound instead of plastering the entire ceiling.

Glad you updated your build thread. It looks great! Looking forward to seeing more updates.
We got a little more done this weekend. Stagings with wheels are the way to go. I picked up a propane construction heater to help with the cold temps. -8 outside but a balmy 9 inside. The heater brought it up to 32.
We rigged up a temporary light. Hopefully next weekend we will finish up the ceiling then start running some wires.

The metal ceiling is finally done. It took way longer than I anticipated. I think it looks fantastic. The lights are just temporary. Now I can get on the schedule for the insulation company to blow in loose fill above the ceiling.
Next is electrical and plywood for the old bat cave.

Looks great!!! That’s going to be a nice bright shop.
March update: I have most of the wiring ran for the shop section. My lights came in Saturday so hopefully will get them mounted this weekend. Then probably another week or so to get those hooked up.
Garage door contractor finally finished my doors. The openers were on back order.
They finally installed the last 2 windows. Of course they don’t match again. This is the 3rd set of windows that came in wrong. Waiting on an answer from the window company.
Had a contractor come in and blow loose cellulose in the loft floor. I can then start laying plywood for the floor. Then more wiring. The Old Bat Cave is coming together.

Looks mint man!
I haven’t posted in a while. I finally coated the floor with Ghost Shield 4500 Densifier and 8510 sealer. Easy to apply and beads water like no ones business.
Wife and I laid some plywood in her Old Bat Cave. What a pain in the *** (plywood not the wife). The Home Cheapo wood was nice and flat in the store but as soon as we stacked it in the garage it bowed like crazy. The two of us struggled with each one.
I needed to get my beam up for the future mezzanine since the lift is coming this Friday. That was dicey since my mini excavator couldn’t lift it high enough. We had to do one end at a time.
Can’t wait.

Looks great man, I need to get back on updating my thread too, been too busy trying to finish it out!
How long did it take for your lift to come in? I am thinking of going with a Forward as well, just need to call the guy down here in Mass and get some pricing.
Good luck with it man, it looks awesome!

Good to hear! Gary did all the lifts at my companies shop in Smithfield, RI and a few in my buddy's repair shop. Guess I need to reach out to him soon!
