New Shop (finally)!
 
4 Attachment(s)
We recently moved so that I could build a shop & finally have all my trucks at 1 address & actually have room to work on them.

Construction started this week on a 30x50 with 12' ceilings, fully insulated, & will have a 30x40 concrete slab in front of the building, then a driveway to that.

I am super excited & thought I'd share the progress!


Delivery time...

are you building this or is a company doing it? I would like to have a shop and am thinking about one of those metal buildings...

Less to mow for sure! I've already thought about that added bonus!

Congrats! Very nice. Can't wait to see more progress. BTW - The Tulsa area is where I grew up. My parents and a younger brother and his family still call it home.

Thanks guys!

Not much new to report yet - still waiting on the concrete company. They are backed up a little. Did get the dirt delivered.

Pic of my blue truck in there gives an idea of how big it really is.

Hope you don't have to use a shovel to spread that around!

Shop looks big. Good height too. Will you be getting a lift? Mine is the best tool I've ever purchased. My only regret is I didn't get it 10 years sooner.

Luckily I don't have to spread it. They are actually starting to move some dirt this afternoon.

Yes, I plan on a lift for sure! I added some height to the building for this reason.

That's going to be a nice shop. Wish I could have started with that nice flat piece of property. Beautiful yard.

...Mine was a rocky cliff when I started. I've been going at it for almost a year and I'm no where near as far along as you are :( . I'm building in stages as I can afford it...NO DEBT. I do have concrete though :lol:

Thanks nlped!
The flat lot is one of the things we liked about this house.
