Thanks guys for the nice comments.  It's been fun getting the opportunity to build my dream shop.  The only thing I might have change would be to hire some of the work done.  It's taken 2 years and that's mainly because I'm pig headed and need to do everything myself to make sure it's perfect.    I designed the building to be as close to zero maintenance as possible.  Everything is cement, cedar, stone, stainless or galvanized.  From every single nail being galvanized or stainless to the 50 year roof on top, I thought about using best practices and high quality materials.  I blew through my budget and had to sell some things to cover my "wants" (no cars sold yet).  I need this to be done soon as I'm running out of things I can sell.   :faint:

Cody ,I see our board meeting area ,but where's the hot tub? Is there anything you would have done differently? :smokin: :dogpile:

Everytime I see this thread, I am simply amazed!  If there is a party, I may have to fly in and partake in the festivities!    :drunk:

Any pictures of the inside of the shop that you want to share?   That's what really matters!  :biggrin:

:bananasmi P A R T Y AT CODY'S.  :woohoo:  :woohoo:


Actually I would think it would be a "MO-PAR(TY)" at Cody's :cheers:

Lets see ...

Taj-Mopar-hal built - check
Covered dining area with seating for 30 - check
Outdoor grill and kitchen - check
Firepit - check
Swing with pergola - check
Swimming pool - che ... ah Cody we have a problem.
We need you to get busy putting in the pool (which he will probably dig and construct by hand himself with just a spade, wheelbarrow and trowel! :worshippy)

A party sounds like a great idea!  Just might do that.   :bananasmi:  Of coarse, everyone here will be invited!

I'll post photos of the inside in a few months once I'm done with it.  It's taken me way longer to complete this whole project because like I said early I just have to have everything perfect or at least the best I can do it.  I get one shot to build my dream shop.  For example I wanted to build a Theater Room that was not only as state of the art, but better then any commercial cinema.  After lots of research I found out to achieve it I would need to build it some of it from scratch including the parts of the sound system.  I had special sub drivers made in Canada and tune my own designed speaker boxes so it will function down to 15 Hz (human ear can't hear much under 20 Hz) so the floor will be shaking, but you'll not ear any sounds at 15Hz.  And they go all the way up to nearly 140 dB's.  For comparisons, front row at a live rock concert is about 120 dB's.  Ear drums pop at 150 dB's.     :naughty:

There's (2) 18"s ported sub driver, (6) 15" sub drivers, (6) 12" sub drivers, (3) horns, (6) dual surround sound and (4) Atmos speakers.  Had to wire 8 amplifiers to power them and they can pull nearly 150 amps!  Normally a whole house only has a 200 amp panel if that gives you an idea of the power this Theater is capable of using.  Here's some photos of one of the speakers before I painted it.  Again, thanks guys for letting me share these.  It's been my life dream to build this shop.
