Okay after spending months tearing out the old garage and all the junk I
now have a foundation for the new shop

Behold!
http://www.pinballrebel.com/misc/gameroom/slab.jpg

Even in Texas that is a lot of concrete...and it was priced accordingly...

Funny thing is they showed up this morning to get the area ready after I
struck a deal yesterday By tonight...here it sits

for those of you wondering it is 60X20....I was goind to go wider but it
would have got too close to the house

Nice! Better keep some water on it overnight. That reminds me, I have
some Charland house updates to upload

C00L! I recently "lost" my shop space
completely to storage....

Building a new 10 x 12 temporary replacement
on a skid as we speak.

Yes, I know how you feel!

Nice slab.

Man that is a nice layout for a home. That looks like Texas. Where I
live (Frisco), the only thing I see that looks like Texas is when I
drive by Brinkman Ranch every day.

Actually my neighbors house is as close to my house as your shop is to
your house... Weird.

Anyway, good luck on the shop.

See ya,
Doug

Ken,
Looks good. I know hind-site is 20/20, but I would have gone the extra
"yard" and put at least 2 drains into the floor before the mud went down.

Depends on where you live and if you're getting permits. Around here
floor drains in garages and shops are strictly verboten with the
intent to protect water supplies. Of course there are ways around it
but they're subverting the intent of the code. They do allow floor
drains if you also install a sump and filtration equipment like a
commercial garage might have. I think the code is stupid in this way
but it is what it is.

You could have a real nice woodworking shop with all that space. What will
keep you from deciding to fill it up with pins (which is what I'd do)?

Real nice Ken,

I'm a little ahead of you as I have spent the day framing the interior
of mine for sheet rock. You're gonna be in heaven when she's done!
Good luck!
