great looking place tim

Great looking home! And, I’m glad to see the priority was right from the start: get the shop built first!

-- Proud to be an addicted LJ, GT and HR!

What an awesome idea, build the shop first. I am going to show SWMBO what can happen if the shop is built first.

Thanks for all the compliments. This is something my wife and I have wanted to do for a very long time. If we didn’t want to waste house money on rent, building the shop first was a must. Had to have a place to work from. Also serves as an apartment. Upstairs has a bathroom with shower. The kitchen area is down stairs, which eats up some the shop space.

VERY nice, I feel waaay behind now ;)

I too plan on building the shop first.. no wait I should build the house first to build some equity just in case… nah, I’ll build the shop first… but if I build the house first?............ ARGH! ;)

Welcome, that looks like an fantastic project underway – build the shop first – great idea. Makes a lot of sense, if you wanted to do cooking you need to build the kitchen first!
Good Luck on your venture!

Actually, Bill, the kitchen is in the shop. I’ve got a stove where my jointer needs to be and a refrigerator where my dust collector wants to live.

well tim a refridgerator will hold quite a bit of sawdust ! lol

Yeah, it’s a side by side. I could plug the hoses into each side and make one of the sections a chip collector.

Nice looking house with two of my favorites…wood and stone.

Very nice Tenontim, are there more current pictures? Keep us posted!

For working on it for 2 years, you are making good progress!

I lived with a refrigerator washer and dryer in my shop for a few years. Glad to have that out of the way and the darn shop is still too small. Great house. I really like the craftsman details and the stone.
