At long last, we are in the final stage of the shop out back. Gone a stage at a time wrestling with the city but we are almost there. First was just getting the permit to install the shipping container. Took a LONG time. Next we poured the concrete slab and had run out 220. Finally, here comes the overhang outdoor work area. This past weekend we completed the struts and reinforcing straps to keep with code. All that is left is welding in a couple steel pieces for mounting and installing the metal roof. Should be done this Sunday!
It is nice to be working out there more now. I can't wait to move out my band saw and put in the work benches, etc.
Had my mom over Sunday, she has advanced Parkinson's and can't live independently. She doesn't get to garden much anymore in her new facility. Digging in the dirt was her great passion, environmental conservation, etc. We brought her out and sat her on the picnic table and she spend an hour or two pruning our hanging orchids. She had a taste of her happiness, again, after a long time.
The covered outdoor area will be great for family and friends to unplug, create, cook, talk, eat, etc.
Almost there!
Cheers
