That little blue pex line sticking up out of the ground? That's my new water line. About 110 foot from the building.
The plumber had to dig through a lot of asphalt and gravel to get it to the building. Good thing I have my dump truck (the 49 Studebaker) as he needed a boat load of sand to bury the pipe in; couldn't put all the gravel and rocky soil back on it.

Making some serious progress now.
Got the 400 amp service meter and panel set in. Electrician pulled 500 nmn cables on Saturday. Each cable is one inch in diameter. I have the bath, kitchenette, broom closet and utility closet all framed out. Did 2x6 construction with 3/4 plywood on top so I can store stuff up there. Have water to the building, but waiting on the plumber to finish running everything inside. Latest pics I have, but these are over a month old. I will have time to catch up on the thread with more pics, as I am having my second shoulder joint replacement surgery tomorrow. Had the left one done in Jan, so this is the right one. Not looking forward to doing everything left handed for the next 6 to 12 weeks. I was able to type a little after just a week last time. We will see how it goes. Figured 2020 already sucks so bad, that I may as well have BOTH shoulders done in the same year. What a way to start and finish.

I could not have done this without my angel of a wife helping me out every step along the way.
She has helped me trench for perforated drain lines, build forms for concrete, pour concrete, frame walls and every other part of this. I am married to an angel.

Well, I just spent over an hour reading this whole "adventure". I must say, you are one determined man. I would have run away, crying, after the well discovery and rain.
I've had a few lemons thrown my way over the years and am just winding down on remodeling a 24x45 pole building for heat with insulation and an overhead door conversion from sliders and I feel like I had a walk in the park with my shop. That building is very lucky you came along and saved it. It's going to be a very nice place to work on automobiles next summer for you. Hope your surgery goes well tomorrow and you are able to get some semblance of normal routine back quickly.

Isn't it great being married to the right person ? I have her sister. My wife has spent hundreds of hours helping transform my building too. She drives the forklift (which is 56 yrs old and a manual trans) while I did high work on the truss mods for the overhead door, helped put up 48" wide x 6" deep wall insulation, ceiling tin, fed well over 150 bales of compressed ceiling insulation into the shredder/blower, etc, etc.
