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.

OK, so the snow is not melted yet but I did pull the cargo trailer off the gravel today so went ahead and snapped a photo of "the spot".

Bunk beds in one of the rooms will be acceptable for Chuck and I. Yuengling and Dickels on ice will also do fine. We travel light and stay for no more than 5-6 weeks, but your weekly smoker ribs are not up for negotiation - get busy... Nightly toasts to Ernie and Randy! Your plans sound awesome - enjoy!

Mark, you always have the best ideas!

Mike, you also have the best ideas. Thanks for the photo. Great plan going forward.

Sounds like a plan, Gang. I'll go with twin beds do you two don't fight over who has to climb into the top bunk. Now that I am back in my home county I have also come across from wonderful moonshine. The straight up stuff drinks like water, but the peach cobbler version in the cooler drinks like kool-aid.

Just fixed 30 pounds of ribs and took to a Superbowl Party. They went over well, nothing left but clean bones.

Ms Jennifer is ready to see you all again!
