New shop
 

It's not ours yet, but we will close on May 22... needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about it, and just have to brag a little.

Here's my new shop... don't mind the sellers' stuff inside it.

There's even a 2nd level with a party-room in it.

It even comes with a house, or something. :D

That garage looks awesome Derek! The house is just a bonus. ;)

Derek that is SWEET !!!!!

Wow ,that is nice .Just have him leave everything in the shop including the Bronco and you will be set. It wont take you long to fill it up.

Very cool Derek!!! Love that man cave.
Hopefully if I ever visit 'ya again I won't fall on my azz in the driveway. :butt1: :D

Very nice, I would love to have a set up like that.

Very nice! For some reason I don't think the lawn will ever look that good again.:D

Very nice, if there is a bathroom in the garage you are all set.

Or at least a tree just outside the door.

Lots of lawn, but no shrubs? Thats low maintenance. Looks like you will need a riding lawn mower.

4.5 acres and not one tree either... I'll be planting a lot of trees as soon as we take possession.

They offered us a pretty great deal on their lawnmower, 4 wheeler, snowblower, and some furniture & TVs too. Tomorrow is the home inspection, so afterward I'll be looking over all the swag they don't want to move to see if it's worth paying a little extra for a whole bunch of stuff we need to buy anyway.

Dude, that's an awesome mancave, wish I had that one. oh, and the bathroom would be a big plus, I have a couple of dead spots in the grass by my polebarn from me and the neighbor, I tell my wife it's from the dog.:D

No bathroom in the big shop, but there's a smaller garage between the house and shop that has been converted into a mother-in-law apartment, which has a full bathroom inside it.

Holy crap, I think that "smaller" garage is bigger than my whole house. lol

I am so jealous ! Lots of space to have your friends over and hold your own car show. :)

Congratulations Derek. Very nice setup, shop, extra garage and house, all look great. Definitely needs some trees but that's an easy fix, good luck man.

Appraisal is tomorrow... I'm a little nervous that the bank is going to balk at the roofing that needs to be replaced real soon. The shop roof is the worst one, which we plan to replace with steel (if we can afford it) this summer. The house can go another 2-3 years.

How much do they ask down there for a house in MN like this one?

We're buying it for $310k...

That would go for at least 450K to 600k here

Your lucky, that's very very cheap.

So Derek did you get the loan on the house and shops?

I haven't heard back yet... we're approved for the loan, just waiting on appraisal on the property.

Wish you luck, looks like a great place to have

wow guy thats impressive!! i want to build a garage just like that for my house!!

Closing in an hour!!! Woooohoooooooooo!

Congrats, man that is awesome

Congrats, very nice place.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!

Spent the first night there... sure was nice sleeping in an extra 35 minutes with the new short commute to work.

We got most of the necessary household stuff moved, and the Chevelle and most of my tools as well (priorities... ;) ) The nice thing is that we have the space to just unload and sort it later so we can make good use of volunteer help of family members.

nice man!!! congrats and i hate you and jealous :)

Sounds like a party is in order. Congrats

Can't wait to see what you do to the place.

I'm thinkin the original owner put the garage behind the garage so his wife wouldn't see the projects he brought home...Smart Feller

I dont have to worry about issues like that as 1/2 the cars in my shop are my wifes and she will tell you so quickly.

I love that woman !

I am JADE GREEN with envy. That's awesome! Congrats on the new digs. That would be what I need with all these toys.

Thanks everyone!

Some great friends from the Chevelle club came over on Saturday and helped move some things. We have just about everything moved, except one car and some parts at my brother's. The shop gets smaller every time I look in it though...

:worthless:

I second that !
