Project Description:
Well I did it. I bit the bullet and took on a 35 thousand dollar project! That's 35 large for those of you who can't count!

It was the only way to pull this off if I wanted a shop.

My goal (I have said this quite often) would be to one day have the ability to support my family from my work in Clean Energy Technologies (OUPower). I never dreamed of being rich... only to be able to make a living doing this for the rest of my life. I'm sure that it's going to take a lot of hard work and an even larger amount of luck to pull that off. So perhaps I can appeal to some of you for help in that area? I will be adding MANY pictures as I go so please bare with me as I slowly upload them and document my progress. If at any point you feel the urge to help me out and donate something toward the completion of my shop, I would be most grateful! http://oupower.com/PayPal/donate.php

Thank you for stopping by to take a look! I hope you enjoy what I've done with the place!

For those of you interested in knowing who did the construction work, it was: Pine Creek Structures
2863 Hershey Road
Elizabethtown, PA.
877-743-7559

I can't stress enough how nice a job these guys did for me. They allowed me to use special attic trusses that I designed specifically for the shop and they were willing to work with me on all of the fine details surrounding construction. This is going to be my baby, my workshop for life, so I needed to go with a company that I trusted to do the job right. My hat is off to Pine Creek for all of their hard work and dedication to a job well done!

Thursday 10/26 AM. The guys are here and unloading the stuff to start construction. Wow this is a cool project. I can't believe that it's finally happening. I was supposed to be hunting this entire week, but there's no way that could happen. So I took my whole week of Vacation and turned it into a big work week.

This is pretty much everything for the framing and poles, along with the specially designed trusses that I had brought in. The trusses can take 50 lbs of loading per square foot over their entire span. Pretty cool for a clear span area down below, eh? The work area above will be 16 x 40 and the knee walls will be 6' 2" so I won't hit my head even out at the knee wall.

What a beautiful job on the site leveling eh? --hehe I became a damned expert on that New Holland Skidster Loader boy... let me tell you!

This is a picture of their New Holland digging the holes for the shop. It's identical to the one I used a few days earlier accept that mine had a big bucket with teeth on the front. This was a cool tool that dug down about 4 feet and then they put a "plinth" in the hole. That's a fancy word for a concrete pill. On top of that my pole will be standing up vertically. They used special poles that were all concrete on the bottom so no wood is below ground. This gives me a lifetime warranty on the structure. There was no pouring of any concrete for this, just drill and fill. It made things go quite fast.

First hole!

More holes. Hi Seth! -He's the foreman on site. The guy in red. The owner of the company, Chris is driving the New Holland.
