Chad, I feel ya. I see this going one of 2 ways. I'm hoping for the bottom to fall out rather than another Carter era.

6 loads of gravel dumped off thurs. Driveway is worse for wear now. Pics at 11.
Will be nice not having to rent a place for sure. I'm hoping to build something rather large here in the next yr or 2 myself.

The joys of building. So the pad looks better but the guy that advertises 'gravel' for 300 per 20 tons really isn't gravel, it's slag from AK. Nice. So now I get to spend double putting real gravel over this. But at any rate it is moving forward and I'm in better spirits as a result.
Does it make a decent base? I see a lot of people using it now a days. That and asphalt grindings.
Well, they dropped(literally) the trusses off last week. Supposed to be out to start putting it up last week of July. Sucks but at this point, I just want it done.

Bet you're ready to get it done! Nothing better than being able to just step outside and go to work. Be able to have everything there close to you.
I wanna be like you Brian! Yep, it will be nice, except when someone assumes since it's next to my house I'm open 24/7. I need to put a gate up on the driveway I guess.
Don't be like me! Im lazy!!! All the work I have to do and no motivation! This week Im off work so I am trying to get some stuff done.
You'll definitely need a gate! Have to keep the work and pleasure separate, that and the home life. My wife hates it! We'll be in the middle of dinner and people will stop by. Then I feel like I have to take care of whatever they need. Sucks.
Exactly what I will do.
Meany's!!!
I guess. Some people need that because they have no social skills, they show up at 545 in the middle of dinner or at 945 at night. No respect, no empathy for someone else. It's different if they call and I say come on over.
Ok, so the Amish guys work harder than a pack of Jamaicans! Here is the second day.

I had to go out of town on Monday, so I didn't get to see it get completed or make sure they left things they were supposed to leave, so at least it's finished. Now on to getting the excavating done correctly and gravel, then concrete. Fun fun.

First one in the shop. Unfortunately, may have to cut this one from the herd to pay for all the other crap, since it's all quadrupled in price.

Man that's a lot of trusses! Looks huge! They sure don't mess around!
As with any garage, it's not big enough! I'll be adding on once this is paid for and prices fall.
