New Tech Day location in progress

[opus68]

I started this project 3 months ago and between the weather, life and everything else it has taken what seems like forever to get to this point.

We started with a little tree removal

I borrowed an idea from Chuck and with a help from drizel and king, we hauled tree remains off.

Cool!


Works good for the light, bulky stuff.

Nice shop

[2Dogs]

Is the pour in the front lower than the one in the back?

[opus68]

Is the pour in the front lower than the one in the back?

Yeah, 1.5".

[mattc]

Niiiice!

[opus68]

All that got done yesterday. Doors hung.


http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii309/opus599/Shop%20Build/IMAG0204.jpg

[2Dogs]

Yeah, 1.5".

Ok, I was worried for a minute. Look'in good.

[Juice]

When will it be 100% complete Richie? You got any special ideas for the inside? New Tools, etc?

[chopt]

24'x40'x12'

That's what I'm talking about.......... Was it a significant difference in price to go with steel over wood?

[opus68]

When will it be 100% complete Richie? You got any special ideas for the inside? New Tools, etc?

Not sure. The building should be complete this week. Then I've got to look into getting electricity( any electricians here?.)
As far as the inside, first of all I don't want to junk it up. I would like to finish out the walls and build a 10'x10' room in the back corner. I've been getting ideas from a garage forum I joined so there's lots of ideas.
As far as tools, I've got a ton of them already. I've got a sandblast cabinet being donated to me. I've just got to go pick it up and do a little repair to it.
I would like to get a motorcycle lift table like yours.

[opus68]

That's what I'm talking about.......... Was it a significant difference in price to go with steel over wood?

Never priced it. Always wanted steel.

[Juice]

Might get you some great ideas here. Man-Caves (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=212142)

[opus68]

thanks.
lots of good info here as well http://garagejournal.com/forum/

[king4456]

can we make a portable bolt down piece of plywood to move the tire machine for one day for the first techday juice? or it too big of a pain in the ass?

[Fitty]

Just saw this. VERY nice!!

My son is an electrician (unemployed at the moment). I could get him to help for anywhere from free to cheap, depending on what's needed. I think there are some other electricians on here too.

I'm very envious. I'll have one some day.

The awesomeness of this thread is starting to bleed over into how "cool Matt is" thread....


Seriously, though, Richie, that looks mighty nice!

[Juice]

[zachattack15]

I came and supervised for 5 min! I did my part! Haha

[I_FLY_LOW]

where'd you get the building from?
Who did the forms, dirt work and concrete work?

[opus68]

The building came from Mueller. I had a contractor do the concrete, forms and building erection. (yes I said it)

[Juice]

Looks awesome Rich. When is the first scheduled tech day?

[opus68]

Soon I hope.
