A beautiful shop and setting. But it is too clean. You are going to give Mike1950 a complex and make Kenbo jealous.:davidguil:

CLEAN ...:wacko1:
I must take lousy pictures :negative:
Your pictures are just fine. I posted a picture of what a clean shop could look like and the picture sent Kenbo into a catatonic shock.:davidguil:

I can think of way worse addictions than the ones you just listed. Wood and tools seem to be my weakness for the moment.

Dave, no plans, I designed it myself and drew it up on AutoCad. I wanted to use what is called Socket Systems, the black steel angles at the beam interfaces. That way, I could build it on the ground and raise the beams as a single unit. No crane required. 8x8 Doug fir beams cut to length, bolted together and raised with a winch attached to my jeep. A bit hairy at times. I just used 2' dia x 4' deep concrete pillars under the beams. No other foundation required but I added a concrete pad too. The entire downstairs interior is blue pine T&G which was actually cheaper than anything else. I have 8 wooded acres and great views. You should build one yourself. I'll help ... from here.:i_dunno:
