Congratulations Jim. A few ideas from my shop construction:
1) I haven't been able to figure out if you will have a slab or a wood floor / crawl space, but if the latter I would highly recommend under floor dust collection and electrical outlets for stationary tools.
2) I used metal roofing which allowed me to sub fiberglass panels of the same profile as very economical skylights.
3) Make sure that your doors are big enough for your biggest planned project.

You rolled it out without the mast attached?:D That's cheating!:p Looks like yer on the water pix, Is this YOUR p&j?

Might the heavy part of the keel be missing also?

Yes, yes and yes.

Paul,

I am building on grade with a slab, no crawl space. The roof will be built to match the house roof. We are in fact extending out from the existing garage. The thought of a crawl space located at the bottom of a hill raises thoughts of creating an underground swimming hole. Actually one of my goals is to have everything on one level (NO Stairs). Skylights seemed like a great idea until I was working on a project that became airborne and took out a ceiling tile. I had this vision of having to replace a skylight. I did take a new picture today of the huge piles of dirt and excavation for the foundation. I hope to post them Monday. Fjimp

8iowa,

I am looking into the heater. I like the footprint and description I found online. I also like that fine chest you built. I like pictures like that they offer a chance to see the folks we exchange info with.

Paul,

Your boat picture offers the impression It is either stuck or you can't bring yourself to put it away for the winter. Nice boat. I assume you built that.
