Default My Shop

I wanted to wait to show everyone this but...Yes, that is my plumbing in back room for toilet and shower. I have been saving and planning this for 12 years. I plan on a small kitchen area, small living room area, and of course the bathroom. No lawnmowers or 4 wheelers or other cars are allowed (on the inside section). I have another building in back for the little toys. The shop itself should be finished next week. I am having a 3' brickledge in the front section to kinda make it match the house. What do you think so far?

Very nice, I have plans like that for the next house I buy here in Savannah somewhere.

All you need is a side post lift.

What do we think? Are you kidding me?! I am so jealous, my car sits in a little one car garage which makes working on it very hard. I am very jealous of you, my brother has a garage a lot like yours and I can't even describe how nice it is to work on the cars in it.

It is a 30x30 inside (with a 10.5x6 bathroom) and a 20x30 overhang. It is 12 feet high on end with a 2 on 12 pitch. 2 - 10X10 baydoors. They will be adding windows and skylights where I spot them soon. I am still thinking about where to put them.

Looks very nice. If you have extra money after everything is finished I suggest putting down the u-coat it flooring. I did it to my garage and it keeps everything clean and much easier to wipe up.
