new shop build

[M3M3]

it ain't over yet!

 

sorry about the diving board...the alternate plan is a zipline from the french doors to the far end of the pool...."hold my beer, watch this!"

 

i used the rustoleum epoxy on my last shop floor.  a lot of prep work, but it had lasted 14 years of hard use with no issues.  this shop is a bit larger scale, so going with a commercial coating.

 

thanks for all the detail on the fujitsu system!!!!!!

time for an update.  garage doors moved, siding up, old outer wall removed, electrical redone.  amazing what an extra 6ft does for usable space.  

 

 

 

 

these garage door openers are awesome.  sidemount, quiet, smooth.  "liftmaster".  sorry for the blurry pic.  will fix later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

next up....finish drywall, exterior edging walls, driveway, the "bridge" between the shop and the house, and gutters.

 

 

also got the trailers and truck stashed in new driveway.

We had the side mount lift master installed on my side of the garage last year with the new doors and in preparation for a lift.

 

 

Amazing how quiet it is compared to the standard chain drive opener on the other side. The automatic lock solenoid is really cool, too.

 

Oh, and the gateway is a great investment so you can use the app to open and close the doors. It also gives the added piece of mind that you'll get notifications on your phone any time a door is opened or closed.

 

Shop looks great so far! Congratulations.

didn't know about the gateway option....will have to look into it!

Looks great! I have the gateway option. It was wonderful but it broke. Hopefully they will honor the warranty. It provides a great piece of mind.

Ha.  That's funny - I have the exact same opener for the roll up door.  It is great how quiet it is.

That is looking awesome. We did an asphalt drive and then laid bricks on the asphalt.

dang, that is a lot of bricks!  nice!

 

we are also redoing the entire rest of the driveway.   I like the black asphalt on a south facing driveway.....snow melts off it really quickly!

Looking good! There's room for a couple EZ Ups?

[M3M3]

more progress...got a new driveway (no more dirt!), the brick covered retaining walls, and the "bridge" walkway between house and shop started.

 

 

 

 

floor coating sked for monday and lift install last week of sept.

We are having a new mattress set delivered for the guest bedroom tomorrow. Shall I have it redirected to your garage loft?

[adawil2002]

That is looking fantastic, very well done.
