Well, I won't have money for toys but at least I will have a place to put them when I get ready. Hope to have it done in the next few weeks. It will be a 26x40 with one big door in front a side door and two windows and 9 ft ceilings. I hope to get everything organized soon!!!!
Wife is ready to get her garage back!!

Will keep you posted!!!

OH nooooooooo!!!! Man, that stinks. Maybe you can salvage the block...knock off the new/old mortar and re-lay them.

It won't quit raining long enough to ever get mine finished....it rains almost every evening. I have the exterior forms fab'd and put in place....but no concrete until it dries out.

Well, at least we have gotten this far. Everything looks good, but........at the last minute the guy backfilling hits the wall with his bucket. It knockes some blocks loose and has a crack in the wall. They are going to fill the walls with concrete and on the area that he hit, they are going to reinforce it with rebar. Man I will be glad when this is done!!!!!!

Man that is a nice start. I am guessing that the box around the outside is your footings? How big is yours going to be? My wifes Uncle works in the mines up there, I hope to get a tour when we go up to visit!

Yes, footings...can't do a monolithic pour due to the shape of the footings...so I had to have an inside form, and then pour the floor later. It going to be 25 x 40, with the overhead door on the side facing you in the picture. My neighbor's place is what you see behind the building.
