My Personal Shop Build

[Ej8Kid]

Hello everyone, I'm currently building a shop in my very own backyard. It's not open for business, It's just for my friends and I to use. Its 6000 sq ft, 16ft tall. My land is 4 acres so the shop won't take away from my home. Once the shop is up, there will be more updates on my Civic and I'll also be building real race cars.

Enjoy.

My '79 Camaro Z28, I will also be restoring this. I swear, every week people ask to buy this car.

My shop doors, 4 total.

The wooden picket fences were taken down and replaced with some vinyl fences.

Here are the vinyl fences, we put them up ourselves. We hit several hard pans. There will be two 20ft gates with roads that lead to the shop.

Here are pictures that I took today.

It should be done by the end of May. I am also replacing the tiles inside my home, so maybe longer?

I want to get a banner for the shop, help me think of a name?
A buddy said "The Batcave".

So you wont use this as a business area aswell? I mean you would be getting alot if you rent it out to someone and also have them work on your car for free :] lol

That's not a bad idea. Some people who don't have a garage or tools may give you some cash to work on their cars in your shop.

Probably not. I'd have to get a business and crap. Side job? Probably but I don't want to liable for anything.
