Sweet!
every guy needs a cave.
that being said, now the wife will know where to find you any evening or weekend...../;-)
word of advice......coffee maker, microwave, BBQ / smoker, fridge and a dishwasher will come in very handy........

Thanks for straightening up the pic,1/2 the time they do that on me. Formed,framed all the walls and stood them by myself, only had help with the truss and roof metal, it was 28 ft long I believe, also wired and plumbed everything myself I'll take some pics of the inside and post them.

That is a nice boat shop and it's far enough away from the house too.

I agree, it is about 150 yardsback so I won't be waking the neighborhood playing with motors, ben waiting on it for several years, I'm excited, it is getting close, got a few inspections before I can go to finishing the inside

Very nice shop ! Thats bigger than my house. I love the location....always keep the neighbors guessing where the resin smells are coming from

Very nice!

Very nice, and doing it yourself means it's done right. I'm in the planning stages of a new metal building on my property.
Shop / toy storage and maybe a 30x30 1br/1bth apartment for guests to stay in. Long term storage over the apt. 60x60 is my target size. Got a 40x40 wood pole barn now and it's full....
