We
got started on the groundwork for the new shop in late summer 2009. The pipes
sticking out of the ground are the sewer and the water line from the
house.
We
hauled in fill to bring up the ground level to the level of the garage.
We
got the skid steer on top of the fill to level it off.
In
the summer of 2010 construction started in earnest. I have dug out for the
footings.
The
form are in for the footings.
My
brothers and I poured the footing and are laying the foundation blocks. We
opened the East wall of the garage where the door into the shop will go. I
am going to put a pair of 36" doors to access the shop.
The
foundation walls are complete. I am in the process of installing rebar and
core filling the blocks.
Here is a drawing of the shop
addition to the garage.
