New mini shop started.

[360gts]

I started clearing and doing site prep a few of weeks ago....removing some really big spruce trees....leveling and grading....finally, almost ready for the footings to be poured.
It will be attached to my big two storey shop....vaulted ceiling with a new 4 poster hoist.
It was either get rid of some cars ..OR, expand. Expand was the winner.
Hoping to get it framed up prior to the snow arriving. Will be 30" X 24'...the plan is to put the completed cars in there....create a small personal museum.
Will add a few pics now and then to show the progress...Hope Mark doesn't mind.

Very nice, that’s what happens when you have space, you fill it and need more

[Catmint]

Well that is not going to make any one jealous then is it

[Exminiman]

Yes keep us updated, like a good build thread whether a car or a workshop

Envious of all your space, firewood dosent look to bea problem either

Haven't been doing much on the project....smoke from the wildfires is intolerable at times. Hard to work out there with the smell and the smoke.
Today it cleared a bit....hope to get back at it tomorrow.

"Where there's smoke - there is fire!"
Isn't that a bit risky to keep your precious likkle ones so close to all the flammable stuff around?
A bunker would have been the better choice

The wildfires are over the mountains in British Columbia and way up north.....the smoke and ash travels a long way.

I would love to visit your “personal” museum when finished.
Short drive from Spearfish, SD!

Well, the one man band show is slowly achieving some results ...at last
Getting concrete delivered here is like pulling hens teeth. Had to wait and wait and wait some more.
Eventually, they delivered....walls poured....stripped the forms and started real work.
You don't want to know the cost of 3 meters of ready mix......I don't ....but I had to pay the premium. Carbon tax...environmental tax....small load tax.....out of town delivery premium.....then the GST (Like your VAT).......total cost was $2100.00 (approx. 1200 pounds)
I am starting to make good progress now.
Should have the joists installed in a couple of days and then I will be laying the 3/4" T & G plywood for the floor.
Will see if I can hire a couple of framers to frame up the walls and the roof joists.
