If this thread is a bore, tell me.
It's exciting for me, thought it may be of interest to others.
Not bragging, just a share for like minded friends
As with the cars it's s process.
This is my first run at something like this

Finally poured
Now taking shape and coming into scale.
Felt tiny at first.
Now it's sizing up well.

NO WAY ...! This is awesome Jeff...

Only a true car guy could get as excited about his shop as he is about his cars

I watch threads like this and it makes me want to go out and totally empty my garage out and re-organize it so everything looks all nice and neat.

Of course, then I walk out there and take a look around, and realize that it ain't happenin...

Keep the pics coming

Boring? Not to me!! Love watching stuff like this and great sheds coming together. Maybe an illusion in the pics, but looks like you will have a lot of back filling to do up against those foundation stem walls and inside to bring everything up to grade level. Also, are you going to waterproof the outside of the stem walls? Just a thought to keep moisture from getting in under the slab...
