yeah, it looks like you've done all you can to build as big as you can. You may have enough room, it looks like the most overbuilt garage i've seen and I mean that in the best possible way. You always hear of guys building what you'd think would be a decent sized shop, and it fills up fast. Your shop is layed out really well, usage of all space. I can't wait to see it all done.

woohoo, siding is done, gutters are done. i am pumped up with how nice it is looking. with a retaining wall, driveway, grass and some plants it is going to look super nice .

looks like it has been about 9 months since i drew up the plans and 4 months since ground breaking.

It sucks that they moved the event this year. I hope as well that it continues. I have to tell you that the garage sitting next to your house looks like you have two houses in that yard! Looks great Jim I hope to see it in person some day. Vince

got a few things done. the retaining wall is in. it is kinda crooked , it is out of square with the garage by 10" in 40'. so far i have only paid for the materials and i let them know it wasn't right. they haven't called me back or billed me and it has been a month. i think they are walking away from it. got some dirt moved around and planted some grass today. also got the tubing for the heat in the floor and that part is ready to pour. now i need a cheap but good concrete guy. it is ready to go other than some expansion joint around the edge wich i will be doing tomorrow. should have part of the floor done soon. belive me there will be a car or two going in there as soon as there is a floor to put them on.
