Very impressive. I need one of those! Our garage/shop was stick built 20 years ago by "volunteer" (unpaid) friends and relatives. It took weeks to complete, cost more than $30,000, and looks to be considerably smaller than your new building. Thanks for sharing another (smarter) option for getting a shop built.

I finished the wiring yesterday. 14 plugs and 12, 5500 watt lights. I hate a dark working area and having to stretch extension cords all over the place. My two sisters bought me this barn quilt painting to hang on the top peak. Next thing to do is seal the corners and add some screws to the outside panels between the post to help seal it. Last thing to do is paint the floor. I need to hurry because the 49 is coming home from the painter in a couple weeks.

Love the barn quilt! We have one on our Barn. Sounds like you will have enough power and lighting. I'm with you. You can never have to much. Especially when you get older😆
