Greg,
for the piers, I recommend stucco. Actually, I've used thin set, mixed up on the stiff side. Put it on in two layers, one as a "scratch" coat, and a final coat. You can tint it as you mix it, so it never needs painting, and lasts for ever.

slowly, slowly; next time I'll hire better help; but building is dried in. ...wished I'd spaced the windows a little different, and the propane tank is finally gone!!

Hi Greg,
Things are really looking up, it is starting to look pretty good, and the SYP siding should make for an excellent siding. I like the way you are working at it to match the house, but it may be more work than I would have wanted to do, don't know.
I hope you will be able to work "in" the shop instead of "on" the shop pretty soon.

Looks great! Outhouse makes it look like a little house on the prairie
Curious Greg, over 2 years and no inside pictures
I am not saying go kill all the stupid people......
I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

Looks awesome! Where do you live in NC? Looks a little flatter than where I live in NC
Ramseur; yes a little bit flatter
few more interior pics IMG_4212.jpg IMG_4225.jpg IMG_4221.jpg
Love it, and especially love the windows. Lots of natural light, and you can gaze out at the yard as you woodwork.
Sweet woodshop. Just the right size for handtools. Door looks great as well.
VERY nice work!! You should be proud> I love building small buildings!!

Thanks, but the view rather pales compared to yours! The two nine pane sash over the bench face compass North and are 50% early cylinder glass(see left window-Center row, center and right pane distortion) the four over four sash came from an 1830 house and only have 2 replaced panes- very early cylinder glass.
