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 ;)

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
