New shop under construction

[AlbertC]

After many years of wanting a shop and going back and forth about getting a steel building or stick built, I finally started on my shop in December, 2022. It is 40 by 60 by 12 ft high, 2 by 6 construction. Here’s some picks as of today. Still a lot to do but getting there.

Wow - looks great! When you're done, please come up to NH and build the exact same thing for me!

So what is the planned work for your shop? Wood, metal or tractors? I was like you wanting a shop at the home site, so when we bought property, a shop was also built after the house, and garage. Jon

I mostly just do a little woodworking and general tinkering. It will also house my truck and lawn equipment etc. The left side (13 by 40 ft.)of the shop is broken into three rooms. The largest area will house a small kitchen area because my wife likes to can vegetables, etc. The middle area will just be a room for my wife to do some of the crafts that she enjoys and the third room will be storage area so that we can clean out our attic and some of our closets that contain things like Christmas decorations, etc.

We built our house on this property 10 years ago and had planned on starting the shop earlier but just didn’t get around to it. But last year I decided that I had waited long enough.

Your only regret will be waiting so long.

Nice! I see 2 full rows of blocking in the walls - why so much for 12' walls?
