Congratulations!!!! Sounds like you are going to have quite an operation when everything is finally finished.The building and associates costs will run a bit over $60K. Finishing the inside will run $10K. Electric connection may run as much as $8K, but I am hoping to keep it below $4K. Roughly - $80K for the whole build.
The big money will be inside the shop. I figure I am putting $100K of equipment and supplies inside (conservatively).
This took a long time to accumulate both the funds and the stuff. It is finally time to put it all to good use. I have grinders and other ols in shipping crates that I have never opened. Some of those date back over 10 years.
I have a "Shop Bucket List" of things I would love to add to the shop after I get everything else done. I may never get them all, but the list is around $20K.
Why? I bet he spends all his time inside the thingAwnings over the doors?
It is raining a bit today, so the guys took the day off...
We're gonna need a picture of that....I put the power box up on the peak that faces the house where the neon KNIVES sign will be mounted. Been waiting for many y
Spent the day out there working on cleaning the lot up some and leveling off some high spots. Jesse (FIF Champ) came over and helped bust up the pump-out concrete piles. I got the big tool chest bolted together. Rain for a couple days, but the builder says the siding guys will get it done by the end of the week.
