Excellent!  Making much faster progress than I did with mine.  I pretty much was the sole contractor though! LOL

Congratulations!! It's coming along really nice. Looks like you need a sliding glass door out the back so you can hunt from the comfort of your heated shop. LOL.  We're going to meet with some builders in the next few months to see if we can build what we want, how much it would be, and if we could build it in stages. We're considering combining a house in the shop. I hope yours turns out to be everything you hoped for. It's gotta be exciting to see it coming to life!

Thanks, me too.  A lot of thought and consideration was made as to placement and that limited the size which hopefully will help keep the cost down.  Still will cost way more than I had hoped as the building materials have doubled in the last 20 years.  Here was a quick few pictures taken between rain showers yesterday.  Last picture standing out the garage door opening looking in

After a rain out yesterday and rain shortened day today, it is looking like a garage more and more.
