A work in progress

One of the reasons we bought a house with a bit of property was so hubby could have a shop where he would be able to build his airplane. After a lot of discussion and some negotiating we decided to put the shop here...



So we hired some guys to come in and clear the way. This is what Chuck did for us in just a couple of hours.


It was amazing to watch.


EG loved the machine from a distance...up close, not so much. (note the death grip on my jacket)


Abigail Loved it! Chuck even let her drive it.


Ok this pic is for me....just couldn't resist :)


Plumbed and ready for concrete.


These things are like 18" long and 2" in diameter....


This is Moses...the best concrete guy in the wiregrass :)


With the concrete poured we were ready for the building. Hard to believe this truck was carrying a 30x40x25' building.


Offloading


There she is.


25' in the air on a wooden pallet = unhappy wife


Insulation and siding

The roof.


All closed in to include is 17' roll up door...he likes the 17' roll up door :)


THEN the work began....Framing in for the inlaws quarters.


Insulation


Drywall


Mud, tape...and sanding :(


Paint


Flooring and lighting


Kitchen cabinets


Oh yeah...and more concrete




Finally! "My side" is done








"His side" well....that's still a work in progress.








It sure looks like this went up over night in a neat little blog entry. Actual time elapsed was more than 2 years.
