Update

Finally made some progress on my shop. I got the two roll up doors up on the back wall hung and that wall has some metal hung on it. I bought three 12'x12' doors. The first door took forever, I bet I made 50 trips up and down the ladder, but the second door went alot faster.

I got my shower installed and operational. So far, the wife has just give the dogs baths in the shower.

I've got to get this finished. It just takes me forever to do anything.

Plans

I've already got plans for the cruiser once my shop is finished.

First thing is rebuilding my transmission.

My summer project is going to be four linking the rear and installing a new ox locker up front.

Thanks for the comments.

Man, that is one sweet big assed shop! Hang in there man, I've built three houses myself, all for myself, in the last 15 years. Current one is 2700 SF, and I'm needing a shop, two car garage won't cut it. When your friends tell you you're crazy, ask em what they have to show for their nights and weekends...that thing is gonna be sweet!

Side shed

When I don't have anything to do and get bored. I am going to get started on the other side shed of my barn. You can build 20'x80' shed for about $2000 bucks. That's alot of room and pretty cheap for that much room. It's not that tall either so everything goes quicker.

The peak of my roof now is about 23 feet tall, so it's hard to do anything by yourself. My wife has been picking me up with the front end loader on the tractor. It can be kind of scary.

Update

I have almost got my shop done. I still have some more wiring to do. I am putting 4 400 watt metal halide lights. I only got on up tonight, but it is pretty bright by itself. I am wiring them up 240, so they only pull about 2 amps per light.

I still have the corner caps to put on. But that's about it on the outside. I have got to do some dirt work and spread some gravel. Still muddy out back.

I got our old welding table from work. It's a cast iron grid top with 4" angle for the legs. It's 5'x5' and about 3 inches thick. I figure it weighs about 3000 pounds. But it could weight closer to 4000.

Anyway, we had to get the service truck crane to take it off the trailer. It's going to take two tractors to get it in the shop.

I was so sick of hanging the metal on the sides. I am glad it's over.
