jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:08 PM

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

jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:12 PM

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.

jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:15 PM

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.

jitteryguy · 10-04-2012, 11:19 PM

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 !

Sillyoldman · 10-04-2012, 11:22 PM

Jealousy...I has it

JointTech · 10-05-2012, 01:39 PM

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.

pritch · 10-05-2012, 11:20 PM

New shops are awesome!

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

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

FrankieD · 10-05-2012, 01:46 PM

that is one sweet set up

W.I.P.72 · 10-13-2012, 11:38 AM

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.

nuke1 · 10-23-2012, 02:23 PM

WOW!! That is a nice shop.

77c10 · 10-23-2012, 05:13 PM

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

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.

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.
