[ I'm helping Randy out with some picture posting. ]

I have been wanting a workshop for quite a while and I finally started a little over a year ago. The only thing left to do is the concrete pad in front of the doors. Size is 40 by 60 ft with 2 by 6 studs. Exterior is Hardy Board panels with board and batten. Inside ceiling height is 12 ft with metal ceilings panels and also metal on the top 4 ft of walls. Bottom 8 ft of walls is Smartside siding. On the left side of the building  have a kitchen area as well as another room that can be used as a bedroom or craft room. Also in the back corner, I have a 10 by 13ft storage room.

I did a lot of the work on it myself to save money. All the painting inside and out, put up the metal ceiling, installed the Smartside siding, installed all doors(except garage doors), installed all trim, installed the t and g ceiling on the porch, etc. It was a lot of work, but I think it allowed me to have a nicer shop than I would have otherwise been able to afford. Anyway, thanks for looking.

What an awesome shop, really nice!
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

That's a great looking shop and nicely sized.  Are you setting up for wood working exclusively or mixed use?

Looks great; going to be a fun place to make sawdust in your retirement.
