Everybody needs space for their projects. Good on you.

I put up a metal Muller building back in '01-02 and ran into the same problem with the local P&Z. A simple wood or brick/block structure would not need the engineered foundation that a metal building requires due to uplift. The corners where the columns tie to the foundation had to be 3ft sq and 2ft deep to satisfy the uplift reaction.

Houston we have a slab!

I did have them move the overhead door close to the house and the entry door around the corner. Rather deal with trying to move equipment up a 4-6" step up than the near 24" on the alley side.

I enjoy watching a good concrete pour but somehow manage to get crap all over me just as much as the guys doing the actual work. I think if I ever have the opportunity to build a shop I'll just set up a camera and watch from inside

Yeah, was hot enough for sure. Had to run a line in an attic this afternoon. Made damn sure I only had to make one trip in that hot sum bitch.

I did put one of my security cameras in the window facing the backyard so I could check up on the happenings from time to time today. I like watching these guys pour cement but I hate doing it.

Dads shop was a Muller and I was always impressed with the quality. I priced one with them but after two trips to city hall trying to get them to ok my plan, I punted. Plus since I hired one company to do everything, including dealing with the city permits, then it's their problem if something goes wrong or is out of spec.

Honestly, they were cheaper than it was going to be if I tried to do it myself and hire a cement guy, erection crew, and buy the materials.

I was pretty surprised at how deep these footers were dug. I understand now why that slab costs what it does. My original bid just for the slab was $4600. I thought that was insane but after seeing everything that has to go into it, I'm thinking a bit differently. Lol
