[QUOTE="afd516, post: 351961, member: 501"] It has been a while on updates "get started on the build" for me because the weather has been uncoperative lately. Shop should have been done beginning of this month. Recent rains have come in spurts with only 2-3 days dry time not allowing the concrete guys to work. This set us back about three weeks when it finally dried up long enough to get the slab down. Last wendnesday they came out to frame up the shop. I was on duty for a 24 hr shift that day so I was not around to make sure things were on the up and up. So I tell my daughter to text me a picture of the progress about 1 pm wednesday while I was at work. I knew I should have taken the day off. I recieve the first pic and had to make the call leaving a voice mail to the contractor saying it was all wrong and not what we had had designed. About 5 minutes later he calls me back. "****, **** ****! I ****ed up, my crew ****ed up, my name is attached to this thing, don't worry about it, I'll make it right, ****!" I said, "Cool, I wouldn't have expected nothing less, looks like you got your hands full, so I'll let you go." My wife gets home that same evening and says it is completely cut down. Thursday, they were still tearing down the wrong shop for transport to another job. No luck getting the material to start building the correct design. Friday through monday it rained. Wed a week later, they started to build my shop. Thursday, turkey day, they are back at it today and with the exception of the doors, the job I hired out will be done tomorrow. The second pic is what it should have looked like to begin with. 40' deep 42, wide. 30x40 enclosed, 12x40 lean too under one common roof without a break for the lean too. 12 ft eves and the right side wall is 14 ft. Doing it this way gained me 2 more feet of ceiling hieght. A 2 post lift will go in the inside back right corner along the 14' wall. It is already stubbed out for water, a toilet, sink, data and electrical. I plan to lay down some floor protection, install some air lines with a compressor on the outside. Can't wait to start getting use out of this thing!! [/QUOTE]
