two by for everything else:

I still need to pick up some hardware, nails etc... but the Majority of my shop is there.

In case you missed it, last week I had PT and CDX dropped off.

That will soon become a 12' x 20' barn with a 10' long loft over 1/2 of it.

Concrete pad, or dirt floor:confused:. I live in the land of severe snow and could never get away with a dirt floor in the winter.

Nice looking spot - kinda cool to have a tree-shaded shop for working with wood.

I'm "green" with envy!

I built my shop (20'x28') in '93....I can still picture all the materials being stacked around my yard!
After my pad was poured (hottest day of the year!) sides framed,roof installed......each evening after work, my wife and I would go out and do a little work, and would usually end up sitting in the middle of the shop in lawn chairs, drinking soda and dreamin' of all the projects that could be done! (I was also dreamin' and schemin' about all the new tools I needed for a new shop!)

Thanks for sparking my memories and I know you're excited to get started......and like (both) Jim's said: "Keep the pictures coming!"
