That is what we call a dream job. Make money doing what you love.

Agreed! That is an excellent little mobile shop you have there btw.

 

[MarkWood]

Wish I had an attic like that. Mine is just crappy rafters.

 

[MarkWood]

yeah but you have a 3 car garage!

 

[MarkWood]

my attic is nice though i can stand up in it. i plan on building some shelves up there once i get it all decked.

 

[Chris]

But my three car is a small three car. about the size of a large two car.

I have finally started on my long needed shop build. Not gonna be a huge shop due to my lot size. im going with a 12x16 it will have a 2nd floor that will probaly be a wood shop. i have been keeping an eye on craigslist for deals on lumber and found some 2x8's for a third of the cost of the local lumber yard. so i took my trailer and got a load ofem. my plan was to build a wood framed floor but after figuring up my cost for footings and posts my good deal on lumber is still gonna cost me more than i thought. I am now figuring the cost of pouring a slab but pouring a slab will require renting a skid steer to grade with I know in the end i will wish i had done a concrete floor but right now i have to go with the cheaper option. i already have my permit and the cash for the concrete but still need to come up with funds for bobcat rental and rebar. if i go with the wood framed floor i have my framing material and most of the cash to do the footings. so at this point it boils down to if i want to wait or not.

 

[Chris]

Wait and do concrete. You will enjoy it that much more. Skid steers are cheap in comparison to wishing you would have spent the few hundred bucks. If I were closer I would let you use mine.
