Bristow - New Shop Progress Thread

[MRDucks2]

Thought it may be interesting to start a thread documenting my new shop build. Once the snow melts I'll post a photo of the site, then the pad, then the 8-1/2 day estimated building process. That will be the fast part.

Then I'll update on the stuff I do myself, including insulation, electrical, plumbing and internal walls.

Contractors are to pour footers, block stem walls and pad including rough in of plumbing for water, toilet and drains as well as tie-ins. Then they build the conventional framing, followed by metal, exterior doors and windows as well as the ceiling. This is the 8-1/2 day part.

Building will be 36x56 with a full bath, rec room, two 10x10 rooms with a closet in one half and wood shop, cnc, laser area in the other half. Oh, and storage in the attic.

We shall see how it goes…

Oh you are going to make alot of people jealous and put me on that list That sound like a house not a work shop. A rec room in there?

 

[Woodchipper]

Room for a hot tub, coffee maker, restroom or something similar and wine cooler? 36x56 is bigger than one floor of my house.

Sounds like a great place.
Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I want to see the rec room. if there is a pool table in there we will have issues. Will have to put you on my ignore list.

Thanks for starting this thread Mike. It sounds like a Garage-Mahal to me. I wish I was closer to help out. I do know my way to Bristow though.

No hot tub in the building. The rec room will be big enough for a pool table. Orientation of the room has two options, one more conducive to a pool table, the other to a built-in Bar. Will not make those decisions until I do actual layouts with tape. Originally thought pool table but leaning toward the bar, now. Would plan to build either one.
