Having always wanted to have a place to work on projects, I finally built a shop. And much like many things in life, it didn’t turn out the way I planned. But we all must learn and adapt to new situations. I originally wanted to build a shop by hand, the way I had built the shed and deck at my previous house. After many months of being on the road for work and running the girls to their various sports activities, I realized that just because I am capable of building something doesn’t mean I am ever going to get the time to do it.
As one of the many adages that rule my life says:
“When you have the money you won’t have the time and when you have the time, you won’t have the money.”
So I ended up waiting longer and when I had plenty of money and no time at all, I ended up hiring a crew to do what I would have like to have the time to do myself. They broke ground on March 14, 2007 they removed the existing corner I had placed and set up string lines to align the concrete forms with.
As you can see from the original corner, I have already amassed some significant “treasures”. There are some oil drums and old tractors etc. The previous owner of the property has left a significant pile of I beams and purloins and some a couple of old motor blocks.
This is a front shot of what where the shop will be. There is a dense stretch of woods behind it between our property and the neighbors horse jumping area. I plan on keeping that intact.
