Not bad for one week's work huh? I'm real happy with how it looks on the lot.

In this one you can see my neighbor to the West's house and RV garage...

We'll be out there on the 15th, I suppose the framers will be done packed up and left by then.

Fantastic! You oughta have a neighborhood full of hobbyists with all those shop-centric builds. That could be a very cool 'hood!

Really looking like a house and shop now...

Inside the RV garage looking at the back wall. You can see the bathroom framed in on the right corner.

I am back in KC from a whirlwind trip to Albuquerque then Phoenix then back here. I was able to spend a little bit of time with the new build and am very happy with how it lays out in person. The massive open space inside the RV Garage is mindblowing. Even though it's 150 sq ft smaller than my old shop, it's WAY more useful space.

My plans for inside the garage have changed a bit after spending some time in it. I originally wanted to build a separate room for my office but I think I'll just put my office in the corner by the bathroom, decorate it up nicely and take the money I was going to spend on the walls and roof and put it into a nice HVAC setup that will cool the whole shop comfortably. This will allow me to put the lift further away from the 9' door and also further towards the middle of the area leaving more room between the lift and East wall for tool boxes, workbenches etc. If it works out...I can hopefully even get the 4 legs of the lift centered over the hump in the middle of the floor and get the lift to sit pretty level.

I'm very happy with how the driveway laid out, the (2) 14" doors and the flat area behind the shop for parking trailers cars and whatnot. I even got my extra outside drain cleanout behind the RV garage which will double as an RV dump once I tinker with it for a bit.

The house laid out pretty nice also. We'll have a lot of landscaping to do once we get in...this will be the last "design" and spendy hurdle we'll have to handle. Leaning more and more toward hiring that all done as well and ending up with a turnkey finished place so I can hit the ground running once in.

Here is a 7 minute video of a walk thru the house and the garage. It might interest some and bore others to tears...the RV garage is in the last few minutes if you want to skip ahead.

I'm trying to convince the wife to make our final move to PHX as soon as possible, she wants to wait until around the middle of November. We have a townhome rented ready to go and most things packed. Why wait?

Oh yeah...we also got the pool design finalized...
