Thanks guys. This has been a long time coming. Still a ton of work ahead but I think it is going to be totally worth it. Grand opening? I have no idea. A contractor who is a good friend of my dad (and me) is helping me out to get the project moving. He really doesn't have time to do it b/c he is covered up in work so I can only push so hard. I think he is getting some push by the mason and framer right now, so that is a good thing. I'm just going to have them get it under roof w/ siding. From there I will have it wired and plumbed then I will will do the insulation and finish out the inside myself. Going to have a small bathroom and stand up shower. And you are right, I will probably never leave! I've already purchased a wood stove for those cold winter days. Dad let me store it in his building along with my boat for the time being.

It has been slow but making some progress. Got the block laid & framing to commence next week:

Your house looks like my man cave!! What size you going with again??

Yep, it does resemble your man cave.
The building is going to be 32" x 44". I'm going put a shed roof off one side and eventually both sides and the back most likely. You can never have enough dry space.

I'm also building a 25' x 36' attached garage. Both are getting single 16' garage doors.

Wow makes mine look like a doll house!! Good Luck!

Lookin good blue , :clap:looks like one of them super walmarts:clap:

everything under one ruff.......

Thanks dawgs. Slow but steady...hoping to stave off mother nature's wrath and get this thing closed up before winter.

Blue, I have always said success is deliberate, with that said I know you had this planned all along. Its an awesome feeling to see your dreams been realized. Congratulations it looks great and keep posing pictures as you progress along.

Thanks NYMACK. I really appreciate it. I'll keep the pics coming for sure.
