the future is my friend
Working on this thing since January '13. Took 4 months of visits, applications, fees, appeals and an appearance before the city planning commission (to the tune of an additional $975) before we even cleared the land for the thing. The city was helpful, it was EPD stuff. See, the shop is about 35 feet from a natural waterway and there are lots of ordinances in place to protect riparian areas.
We went with a kit from work. 12x16, upgraded floors, extra-wide door, gambrel roof (for more overhead storage), 4x12 loft overhead. I'll build some steps and probably a small brick patio out front for some workspace. I have a bike ramp and some cement blocks for steps right now.
Anyway, on to the pictures...
Area of the yard:
This little guy wasn't prepared for the job...
So I hired the neighborhood kids on the promise I'd grill 'em some hotdogs:
Sling blade cleared out the tall stuff
Then some Roundup for the serious stuff
Now time to cut down some (big dead) trees:
more in the next post...
