Still have a ways to go before anything becomes affordable. Well it's been 4 years since I posted this. I ended up buying a new place in 2018. It didn't have a shop but it did have a slightly bigger garage. Fast forward 4 years.. Today I received the engineered plans for a 1920 sqft shop building in my back yard. Next up permits and away we go. 🙂 9 Quote Link to comment

I might be able to turn a few wrenches out there this summer, but hard to say. Everything is backed up at the moment and lumber is at an all time high. Perfect time to build. 2 Quote Link to comment

afracer Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Mine has been trashed ever since my wife kicked me completely out of the garage, it immediately overloaded the shop, so hopefully going to build another 30 x 40 shop next to it so I can get work done again. This one is 30 x 50 that we built in 2012. 9 Quote Link to comment
datsuntech Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I don't own a garage so I work out of my brother's and rent a 24x24 garage. This is my brother's old garage. This is his new garage. The garage I rent that I put a hoist in. My Brother's 40X50 quonset. 7 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Quit my job, did a thing... Can fit 2 Dattos and still have room to move around. Now if I could just get the damn pellet stove to work on a regular basis. When it does, I can get to about 75 degrees in there. 10 Quote Link to comment

I continued to message him until this month. No reply. So now I’m in the process of getting bids again. I didn’t pay anything, so just a loss of time. I’m now targeting spring/early summer to start building. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) guess I can chime in now. I moved back to Idaho 3 yrs ago, was going to build the shop first but the house roof needed attention first, then last year the materials were to phuckin high cause FJB and covid. Welp the building material's are down again, not like they use to be but affordable. Looking to build a 1200 or 1000 square ft shop, need to talk to the city planner's, got a few questions for them about the tax rate on the size. Anyways, thinking heated floor, a future bath room, I'm on a sceptic tank and won't be planning on a sceptic tank for the shop cause the word is the city has plans for a sewer line down our street. The walls will be 2x6 x14 or 16. Sheet rocked, 2 car electric garage doors with a walk in door, 200 service amp, cause I like to weld and have a compressor besides that, I got it at the old shop. 🙂. Going to install a 4 corner post car lift, a 2 post car one sort of scares me cause I've watched a few video's where they have toppled over cause of stupid designing. The 4 corner ones allow me to stack when I want to plus saves on space. Anyways, will post/pic's when shit gets real. Don't want the cart to far head of the horse. lol Edited January 29, 2022 by 420n620 5 Quote Link to comment

Exactly when it happened Made for a nice lake on the river side of 20 and I feel bad for the people that live in the middle of the fields. At least one of the mobile homes shifted from it Edited January 30, 2022 by hobospyder 2 Quote Link to comment
