We have only been working 9n Saturdays and the occasional Monday due to our work constraints but id say we will have a total time of a month in it when complete. My budget is 10k but at this rate we are looking at about 6

I like that you put an overhang on your roof. Looks so much better than the big box kits with no overhang.

Thanks. The barge joist can be tricky when installing but really does look so much better.

Keep meaning to hit you up on FB. Next time we get back to Shreveport to see the wife's family, I want to have you do a cutout for my son's room with his name, Pierre.

Shop looks excellent btw.

Nice job. The only thing I would have done differently is make the roof taller. I built a similar style shed with a taller roof and it stays nice and cool in the summer heat without ac.

Yeah, I do. Also, the AC will be turned off while milling. All the piping for the vent system will vent out to the back of the shop. I have a custom built shield that goes around the drill bit and router to catch a bunch of the dust.

The pictures seem to flatten out the roof but it's 5/12 pitch.

That’s a beauty. You may wish it was a 16x20 after a year or so. It happened to me. Went practical and now it’s stuffed.

Well, I'm I'm pretty simple person and have plenty of room in the garage and attic for "stuff". We aren't real big on packing down with a bunch of stuff we don't need.

Nice. I hope you measured the space between the corner and your fence to make sure your mower fits through

The fence runs at an angle due to my house being in a cul de sac. We squared the shop with the back fence(10' per code) due to the utilities that run back there.
