We bought this house in mid 2005, the crawl (walk) space under the house had a 7’x12’ slab in one corner for the hot water tank. I was using half of the garage for my workshop and if any of you have done this or do this now you know how much of a hassel it is to move things around and put things back up so your wife can park her car in there. In Oct. 2007 I cut a hole in the block wall and put in a 6’x7’ roll up door and started digging out the dirt. My son and I dug out a dump truck load of dirt with a pick, shovel, and wheel barrow over the next 6 months. In April 2008 I had 5 yards of cement pumped in and finished. Then over the next 4 months I put up the walls and finishing touches and now I have a 600 sq. ft. workshop.

Mpwylie, have you added up your hours and material and calculated what your cost is per square foot on this wood shop?

Good luck with your shop.
