Isn't it amazing how fast those buildings go up ? We moved in Sept of '19 and had a 30X48 contracted for October. We had a month of rain then too and it got delayed until November. When the material got here, it took 2 guys 3 DAYS and it was done, except for the overhead door. CRAZY what they did in 3 days.

Thanks for posting the pictures of your shop build. Did you go with a 6" slab throughout or only where you planned to have lifts? What side wall height did you go with? Also, do you plan to treat the concrete floors with epoxy or some other coating?

Any lessons learned from the shop build that you would do differently today if starting over?

It took about 4 months quite honestly. As luck would have it, my contractor was not the best by far......

Happy with the building for the most part, but the process left an awful lot to be desired.
