    So my shed is finally making some progress

    Here is what it was when we moved in:

    H25zps748976db.png

    Dirt floor, no power

    Here I'm digging the 180' by 6' deep trench to my house to bury water gas and electric last summer

    Here is my in floor plumbing work over the last month or so (hand dug trenches):

    Here is the prep for the concrete (large center drain dug by the mason):

    Pouring the back half concrete Today, hopefully the rest will come next week.

    I am looking into insulation and I have to get the holding tank and mini filter bed laid sometime in the next few weeks.  I'll probably rend a back hoe for that.

        Quite excited and I will have to post pics when we are there, but I am getting a 22x60 shop with a couple of friends (Tim, and Zach) one who is an e30 guy and one who is a machinist/fabricator. I am quite excited to turn some cool stuff out of the shop!

        Pictures shall be posted when we move in!

          Robert how big is your shop? Are you gonna lay down radiant heat in the floor? Thats my dream set up there.

          Ben thats gonna be sweet! Wish larger sheds were available around here. Any plans for lifts?

            No plans for a lift at this point, just starting with a 1yr lease to see what happens once we are done with school.

                It is 40x60.  No radiant heat.  I dislike it for many reasons.  I will have 1 two post lift for sure back center.  Probably a motorcycle lift.  I'm sure I will collect various pieces of equipment as time passes.

                  Here is the back half pour from the weekend:

                  (That is my 7 year old daughter, she makes the slab look a lot bigger, haha)

                  2014-08-24180335zps43dcc5bf.jpg

                  The joints were cut and I moved the stuff from the front of the garage onto the slab.  They will be doing 2 more pours, the left and right will be the next and then the center with the drain will be last.

                                Since the Raptor is the daily, I'm hoping it will be able to fit in the attached garage.  The shed is about 200' from the house.  Winter trek to the truck would suck.

                                It is so cool seeing this floor come together.  It's funny, there is a lot more to do, but this part seems so important, almost like the rest doesn't matter, haha.

                                    Moved into the new shop over the weekend in Sun Prairie. Very happy and excited as I'm finally in a space that fits my needs! Moved both cars over and the random parts I had in storage at the old place. At the end of the month I'll be moving all my parts over from the garage when I move into my condo also. 

                                    New space is ~1350 sq/ft with office and bathroom. Entire unit has heating and A/C which is gonna be awesome :D All my parts will be stored above the office as there is about 7ft between the ceiling and roof. Hoping to have a lift in before winter which will most likely go to the left of the bathroom. Below is a pic with the cars in. my shop mate has a Neon bandit race car which is a stock, unmodified, front wheel drive only 4 cylinder class run at the circle tracks around here. 

                                    Where about in sun prairie looks like linnerud shops or industrial park by my work :0
