      We're gearing up to build a new house and shop, I can post things regularly as we go along if anyone is interested.

          @midengine Hey I'm posting pics of my rusty lawnmower. Can't be worse than that.
          Bring it.

            @midengine I heard there might be a build thread functionality on here maybe someone important could help as that seems like a perfect use case.

              Have you decided on the shop specs? We went 30x50 pole barn, 14' to base of trusses (overkill, but figured a future buyer might want to house a big RV), with a wide tall door on the front, and a normal but tall door on the back, 2 entry doors (also overkill), 4 small windows, and LOTS of LED light. Very happy with it.

              manual . RWD . LS3 . MagneRide . Brembos ... 4 doors + 5 seatbelts

                        As someone eyeing a vacant lot nearby and loosely planning the same - yes, very much so. Though I’d likely wait a year or 2 before building the shop, but the attached garage would be sufficiently sized in the meantime.

                            @midengine I'd be interested. I'd be more interested if you did it on my property.

                                Aight folks, I'll be sure to share the plans, and the pain, and the cost 🙂 A bit of background: although I work in tech I'm also a registered contractor so I'm doing a hybrid build where the company that we're hiring will be doing some of the work, and I'll be doing a fair bit too.

                                  I'm interested but afraid I'd just get incredibly jealous very fast. Lol.

                                      @davesaddiction same sized shop, but other than the basics to get permitted there's a lot more to consider, primarily who does what. I signed a contract with Permabuilt to do a pole build but apparently they're overloaded and are quoting a six month wait time. I can't wait six months, so I'm looking at either building the shop myself or getting a metal building.

                                        Do you even have to ask? Make sure you tag each post in the series so no one misses the episodes.

                                          @davesaddiction I'm actually in the middle of a 30'x40' shop addition build myself, but it's so slow I wouldn't be able to do a thread. Started on the first elements (getting trusses made) probably 3 years ago. Roofing hopefully to happen in the next two months or so.

                                            Yes, I am definitely interested, both 'cause it's interesting in itself and also because my wife and I are starting to rebuild my MIL's house after the september wildfires. So I have a bit of a selfish interest in comparing notes with what you're doing

                                                      @midengine Yes, please do. A giant workshop in the backyard has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, I don't have the money or the space, but can at least live vicariously through others.

                                                      I guess a nicer house would be OK someday, too, whatever.
