Work begins today on my new shop, slab is being formed as I type. 75 tons of #57 was delivered earlier in the week for the base pad. If the weather cooperates I should have a shiny new slab at the end of the day.
It will be a combination woodworking/mechanic/metal shop with the meatal working portion sequestered on one end, 36'X72'.
My requirements were for something relatively inexpensive, low maintenance and somewhat fire proof- slab on grade, cinderblock walls, steel trusses on 12' centers and galvalume roof, fits the bill.
Once the blocks are laid all the work will be mine from that point forward.
I'm building out of pocket and the work will have to stop for a couple of months after blocks are laid, mostly due to the fact that the college my eldest daughter goes to suddenly decided that they would no longer accept tuition payments by the quarter, only in full and upfront, a large expense I was not expecting.
Pictures when there is something to see.
