    The Hall of the Mountain King

    My dream shop is beginning to become a real shop. We have a contract and schedule for delivery of the timber frame structure. The builder has permits for the utilities. He has begun clearing the lot. We should have the stakes in the ground today to mark the house and septic field. This is exciting.

    Here is a picture of the first scratching around of the bulldozer. This is the official ground breaking I suppose. There was no photo ceremony with dignitaries and gold shovels and hard hats. The lot is a 2.5 acre off-water lot near our lake house on Norris Lake in Tennessee. It is steep, about 25% grade, but not as steep as the lake lot.

    Here is the plan view of the main floor. I have sort of a living room/dining room so we can use this as a overflow when all the daughters and their families are at the lake together. There is a loft above the living area for a future bedroom. We made the building 1200 sq ft to comply with covenants for the development. We are making sure that a future owner can easily convert this to a small house or a guest house and garage for a larger main house.

    Here is a 3D view from the plans of the shop interior. The room is 25'x34'. It is so grand. I just hum In the Hall of the Mountain King every time I look at this view. I also have a full basement with a garage door. The finishing room, wood rack, and dust collector will probably go there along with storage of the water toys during the winter. I can park my truck in basement when we are not at the lake house. The living area is the room in the back of the view with the unfinished loft above.

    Lots of work to do. The onsite construction schedule is trying to keep up with the timber framer. We are scheduled for May delivery of the timbers. It seems to all be going faster than I expected.
