    It was nice this morning and the sun was out so I thought I'd snap an updated pic. Now it's like a full fledged blizzard out. Suppose to get quite a bit of snow through today and tomorrow. I guess winter isn't over just yet.

    Some of the outside and one of the inside before we rocked it. I sure didn't take any pictures of the inside while I was wiring and I should have.

    It's taken a really long time to get the inside finished. Got the doors on at the beginning of last summer and got started on the wiring as we entered fall. Finally got the Sheetrock and insulation in right around the first of the year and then paint. Still need to wrap the windows and doors...

    My new shop

    Its hard to get back enough to get it because it sits on a hill. I took this this morning from about a half mile away on full zoom. Wasn't too sure if it would come out. There's about 9 Mule Deer just out of the picture to the right. One got in there.

In the one shot looking out from inside, there will be a weld bench butted to the wall between the man door and the center garage door. I have a mig and a tig...

    Online architecture program

    Thanks Daryl. That's what I ended up doing. I spent half a day dinking around looking for something online and finally just got out some graph paper and then cut out the tools to scale. Worked just fine. Thank you.

    Has anyone found a good program to draw up what you are going to build?
