The Shop

The shop is a 40x72x14 WedgCor steel building enclosing 2,880 square feet, with R19 and R13 insulation.
A total of 81 cubic yards of concrete were used in the monolithic pour for the foundation and 5" slab.

A two-post lift is installed with a 10,000 lb. capacity.  Propane radiant 
heaters will be installed.  An office and wash room will follow. 

Below is a picture of the back yard and barn before the new shop construction started:
