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.

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 !

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.

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

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.
