Our new workshop.

[Terri9630]

This is a very slow build. We are working around many people's schedules to get it put up.

The metal building is 42'x52' and 20ish ft tall. The back part is going to be divided for storage and a walk I cooler/ animal processing room. The front is going to have a hydraulic car lift, work shop and parking for hubby's jeep. The back is going to have a 2nd floor for hubby's "man cave" along with all his work awards and junk, er... Stuff.

Thanks. No beanstalk seeds. They were sold out. We bought the building last summer for half price with free shipping. Someone ordered it and then after paying for half canceled the order and forfited the money.

Wow!

Come-on over! You can climb up on top and help with the 3 trillion bolts.

That was a great deal. We have been buying things as we find them and storing it until we have time to put it up. I have my small greenhouse up and running, the wood shed is up but waiting on tin. We still have a bigger greenhouse, barn and small cabin to build and 12 acres to fence. We have all the materials except for the cabin. The price of wood went nuts before we could buy that.

The back wall, almost finished. The rest is going to have to wait for our work "crew" and the scissor jacks.

I wonder if this would be considered a Quonset hut?

Same here.

There is one down the hill from my place owned by a paranoid prepper. I like him. He has ornate wrought-iron decorative bars on his windows and large concrete block surrounding his property. Indoor storage for his vehicles.

I made contact with him a few years ago just to let him him know he has like minded neighbors.

We drove our old truck in there last winter, and ended up with a packrat nest under the hood.

Very nice shop

Yesterday I saw a few minutes of and Off-grid building show on tv. In Hawaii a couple were building a home inside the larger hut and built a small hut as a garage/power distribution center. Everything was solar and wind driven.

Anyway, the hut type and construction was identical to yours. I think yall will be happy with it, I know I'd love to have one.

 

[backlash]

In my dreams. Very nice shop.

 

[Terri9630]

We have a smaller 30x40 at our old place. It has the doors that slide to the sides and I hate them.

Yes. That's what is on the paperwork.
