Concrete is poured and seal and cure rolled on. Next step, framing.

Lookin' good, Sean! That's going to be nice space for your work. I hope you're making provisions for lots of natural light!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Looks pretty good Sean. Keep us posted as you go.

[Tyler Howell]

On your way Sean!!

The shop will be 20x20. I'll only be installing 2 windows so as to increase wall space for cabinets and shelving but will install banks of 8 ft. daylight flouresents. Most of the year I can open the roll up door and walk in door for natural lighting. Electrical will be the most challenging part and I'll probably go a little over board on outlets. I'm even going to wire for stereo. got to have music when turning. I'm hoping framing materials will be delievered today or tomorrow. I'm not doing this project by myself because I want it done right as I'm no expert on building but will help all the way through. The interior will be all mine to do.

Looks like we should see walls in a week or so. I used to be a framer so if you have any questions feel free to contact me. P.S. don't forget sheetrock backing.:D

[Sean Troy]

Sheet rock backing? I never heard of it, please fill me in. Thanks, Sean

Windows mounted high on the wall/gables can provide natural light without compromising too much on storage, if at all depending on the height of the walls.

mmmmm 20X20 droooooooollllllllll. Personally I would have held out for the 20X40 or so:p Looks like you had the room. Kid's can go to the park!

[Sean Troy]

Compromise with the LOML on size. She has plans for the back yard. Good idea on the window hight Jim. the ceiling will be 9' so I guess I can have the windows a little higher than originally planed.
