my new shop
 

start'd biuld'n my new shop in late July, thought I'd share it here.

Re: my new shop
 

its 30X40, 30X30 garage area, 10X20 work shop, 3X7 half bath and a 10X10 tool shed in the back corner to keep yard tools outa the garage.
we did 2 foot concrete block and 10 foot 2X6 studs for a 12 foot ceil'n .
I got a 4 post and a 2 post lift to install.

Re: my new shop
 

get'n closer.
had the drive pour'd as well, 19 feet wide from the street to the back of the house then roughly 40X50 park'n area.

Re: my new shop
 

got the brick done and the work shop finished up, hange'n the sheet rock in the garage now.

the dark spot in the drive is a HopScotch pad pour'd in the concrete for my Granddaughter's !

Re: my new shop

Re: my new shop

Re: my new shop
 

Jealousy...I has it

Re: my new shop
 

I havent seen any of those General metal shops. Is it cheaper to stick build? Seems like a metal structure thrown up in a day plus some insulation and you have the same thing? Of course uglier ;)

Re: my new shop
 

that is one sweet set up

Re: my new shop
 

there are some all metal shops in my area, I chose to stick biuld because I live in subdivision and I want'd to blend in as best as it could.
I hire'd two Amish kid's , they work'd with one helper for two days and two helpers for three days, at the end of the fifth day we shut the door's and I paid em.

Re: my new shop
 

New shops are awesome!:metal:

I almost didn't see that mixer, all camo'ed up like it is:lol::lol::lol:

I didn't think there were any front discharge mixers out there. Those were a Utah invention:metal:

Re: my new shop
 

very awesome...

Re: my new shop
 

great googly moogly that's a lot of concrete :D
shop looks great!

Re: my new shop
 

thanks for the comment's. I've wait'd a long time for this.

got the two post lift assembled over the weekend.

Re: my new shop
 

That is the dream of everyone here to have a shop with a lift. You ROCK!!!

Re: my new shop
 

WOW!! That is a nice shop.

Re: my new shop
 

Nice, very nice! I had a 24'x24' built about 9 years ago. If I only knew then what I know now...

Re: my new shop
 

I know what you mean, while I'm happy with what I have but I already see thing's I wish I'd done different and even made some minor change's alraedy.

Re: my new shop
 

My biggest thing is that I wish I would have spent the extra 3k and had a full bonus room/attic built over the top of it. Instead I opted for storage trusses and have the center section floored and have a set of pull down stairs.

Re: my new shop
 

Since it's fresh in your mind, any tips on hoist installation?

BTW--shops looking great! :metal:

Re: my new shop
 

awesome lookin,tall ceilings the way to go

Re: my new shop
 

it was pretty straight forward, level'd and anchor'd one post , set up the second then install'd the cross bar, then level and anchor the second post.

Re: my new shop
 

Love the shop. Can we get some pictures of the yard shed, etc. areas?

Re: my new shop
 

here is the tool shed on the back corner of the garage, there is 3X10 foot of storage above the bathroom and a space for the air compressor.
the Lawn mower will go in once I get the race car parts back out of it.

Re: my new shop
 

first project for the two post lift, brakes on Moma's truck and a hung a few decoration's.

Re: my new shop
 

Where's the frig and tv ?????

Re: my new shop
 

can you give more details on the would've could've should've

Re: my new shop
 

they are never big enough

Re: my new shop
 

fridg was deliver'd last week. as for the TV, I've alway's been a firm believer that a family only need's one TV and it goes in the "family" room.

Re: my new shop
 

mostly minor thing's,
I wish I had put the breaker box behind the door and free'd up that wall.
I down size'd the front window, wish I had done the other window in the work shop.
I wish I had plan'd the bath room better.

I'm sure there's more, thats all I can think of right now.

Re: my new shop
 

brought my S10's home from storage, soon as I finish the air bag's on the Dually I'll bring the race car and the wagon home.

Re: my new shop
 

If I know my GM's, that blue one ^ will have an oily windshield soon ;)

Re: my new shop
 

gotta love having the lift!

Re: my new shop
 

yep, I have catch pan's ,,, Just was'nt smart enough to use em.

Re: my new shop
 

are those covers on the red one, making it look like a semi tire with 2in of side wall???

Re: my new shop
 

they are 22.5 semi truck wheel's that have been machined down to accept 22" tire's.

Re: my new shop
 

diggin all the cement, ive got something similar gettin poured in a couple of weeks. whats with the afghani flag?

Re: my new shop
 

if you dont mind post some more pics of the dually during the process of bagging it. I have a dually as well with the same wheels and Im wondering what setup your going with on the rear now that you have the rig wheels on there. Did you get the stock rearend narrowed or changed it with a srw or c&c rearend? keep us posted.

Re: my new shop
 

an Afghan local gave it me as a gift, he and the flag mean a lot to me.
