My dream shop build

[Mr.AK902]

Wow, that is one beautiful property/home you've got yourself there. Although I certainly couldn't build one my self by hand, I am a huge fanatic of custom homes shops and home building in General. The fact that your wife and yourself custom designed most all of it makes it that much more amazing. Congrats, many years of fun and comfort in that bad boy.... that shop is going to be awesome.

It'll be a longtime before we get to build our dream house like that, but yours sure is inspiring!

Thank you man really appreciate it,and my wife will be happy to hear [emoji1305]. It really does make it that much more satisfying to see everything that me or my wife designed (some stuff I drew lol) built and completed. Cant wait for the shop to get finished!

Any chance you would be comfortable PM'ing me a pdf of your floor plan? I'll be building a custom bungalow with a finished basement in future years, and there are just some thing from your photos I'm curious as to how it all ties together. I really like the layout of your kitchen.dining area and the vaulted ceilings.

Awesome, thank you! Still can't get over that shop.... man the uses I'd have for that. Simply having your own lift would be a lifesaver. So many things you can do to your vehicle on your own much more efficiently with one.... and there really not that expensive. It's the facility that they go in that gets ya lol.

Exactly! The lift I got is a heavy duty truck lift, the model is bendpak XPR-10S and it only costed 3200 I believe. I have a priority membership to northern though so I get good deals on stuff (WELL worth the money for any guy) but I think even Amazon had it for around 35 or 36. You can get other 2 posts for as low as 1,900. But yeah this shop is the dream come true for me man, I have so many projects already lined up lol I have lots of parts laying around I've been adding up for when the shops finished I can go to town

No doubt, also makes it really easy to make a bit of cash on the side... not just with trucks, but anything really. Well done, that is an awesome set up. If it is just you and the wife you'll not grow out of that fort anytime soon.

I can FINALLY update this thread! My builder has been stuck in some city crap that hes been dealing with so that's why hes so far behind with my shop, but they finally started going yesterday. They dug and put posts in yesterday and now it is finally going to get moving [emoji1591]

I can't say I have ever seen a shop built that way before. Interesting to see how other countries do it.

When I built mine the concrete pad was poured first and then the garage was built on (and attached to) the pad. Framed and built like a small house.

This looks like a pole barn design.

When I built mine we did the foundation walls/footings first and the floor was done after the framing,rafters, roof and sheeting was done. Was built in the winter though so it was easier to do a good floor when it was covered and only the foundation was done in the summer ahead of time due to a lack of time. Was better to build it when work was slow vs when I'd have to pass up paying jobs to do it.

Yes it is a metal pole barn [emoji1305] they are pouring my shop slab and all my front property at the same time
