Well, here is 2.5 days worth of work. It finally stopped raining long enough for me to go snap a couple pics. The first one is the finished structure. The second one is taken from the garage door opening.

WOW. Awesome, and it went up so fast! Livin' the dream. I could only hope to one day have such a facility!

Will be keeping up with this thread for sure.

This is fantastic! Definitely my plans for the future! Keep us updated...

Well the updates have been slow right now, because this is the boring stage. However, the plumber finally got here yesterday and did his underground work. I also cut trenches on Tuesday, and started burying the conduit for the electrical service, cable service and the water supply. The two trenches in the pic are for electric and cable. You can't see the water supply trench as it is to the right in the pic. Hopefully I will be getting sand delivered next week, and the cement crew will come to form up for concrete pouring and we will hopefully have concrete in about 2-3 weeks. I do have a couple of inspections to pass before that, but I think those will go well. Here's the pics.

Those trench cutter machines are fun to run arent they? I got to use one when my grandpa was building his barn in NC. Neat stuff, looks like its coming along nicely!

Now that we have cement poured, updates should come more often, as the interior construction is in my hands.

While things have been moving slowly, we finally got the cement poured and the first load of materials I picked up yesterday. The plan is to work in the building all day Sunday. So, I should get some more pics posted Sunday night or Monday. Thanks again for looking.
This was after the cement was poured (April 11)

This is the first load of materials. In the background is the shower base and shower walls. I still need to get the shower doors and the sink and toilet. But I have been buying stuff as money rolls in from sales.

amazing thread. watching a business come alive. in floor heating is wicked, and will save you $$$$

[muddoc]

We don't have in floor heating in this building. But, I don't really need it living in South Louisiana. The underslab plumbing was for the full bath and sink. That plumbing will tie into the septic system.
