Syd's Dream shop has come true. It is 32 X 40, has in floor heat, room for Russ to work on cars but is mainly a woodworking shop for Syd to produce his many one-of-a-kind treasures.
It took a lot of work to get this one all put together. Getting a plumber was the most difficult but he got some of it done by a plumber and most of it done by himself. He is now in the process of finishing the inside drywall and getting it ready to be painted so that he can officially move in.
We couldn't hook it up to our septic field so he had a holding tank put in and will have it cleaned out every year. This way he can have a washroom and a cleanup sink in the shop. We installed an RV hook up so that our friends can bring their motor homes and trailers and hook up when they come to visit.
It is constructed with cement filled Styrofoam blocks which make the walls 12 inches thick. This provides an R50 value in the walls and hopefully will keep the heating bill down in the future. Syd put in lots of windows to improve natural light. It is a very nice shop and one that he will enjoy for many years to come.
Next year we will landscape around it, add some flowers and a sidewalk of sorts and hopefully relax and enjoy the summer a lot more than we did this year.
