For the last several years I've been planning, saving, arguing with the county and clearing trees/dirt for the construction of a shop as a design and storage space for the gear I design and my hobby vehicles. The rocky mountains can be very hard on vehicles left outside. We're building in Boulder County, Colorado probably one of the most difficult, controlling and costly counties in the world to build something.
Our orginal building design was to be 1500 sq feet and a monitor barn style but, the plans got rejected due to having to be downsized based on them area average and we were limited to approx. 1100 sq ft. We also had to redesign the building.
Since we live in the ghost town of Tungsten, Co we also wanted it to look like one of the old mining buildings an selected a rusted core 10 metal exterior and green metal roof (both met fire code). The planning, approval through final construction and inspection took 3 years.
