Hey Eric!
Everything looks great!!! I see the drawer units are coming along very nicely. (Video coming?) I as well as many others love to follow progress of new shops and yours is so fun because of all of the green (and the red on the wall). Enjoy every minute in that wonderful shop!!

Eric, that is one beautiful shop. So neat and sooooo much space. I am sure yu will have a lot of enjoyment in there. Your use and thickness of insulation should mean future savings on heating bills. I bet you can turn off the heat while working in here, even on the coldest days. Just a great job all around.
I finally got a little time to just sit and read thru this entire discussion. As i was reading Christopher Robinson's description of all the legal aspects (EXPENSES)you need to consider before you even get started, I was reminded of my own experience when i wanted to build a barn.
My lot is "L" shaped and where I wanted to put the barn, I had to consider set back restrictions. I drew up a plan and had a surveyor stake out boundary lines with legal setbacks staked so i knew how to place the structure. To build to the size i wanted, i had to go to the zoning board for direction. The ZB turned down my application with the advice to go to the ZB of Appeals.
After quite lengthy discussion, one of the members asked me why I wanted to build a barn. I had actually been doing business with the man for several years; and he, I am sure, knew of my own non conforming business. Had I answered that I wanted to store my construction and landscaping supplies and equipment in the building, i am sure i would have been turned down.
I replied that my hobby was woodworking and i wanted more space for my hobby. "I am currently working in my very crowded basement and I can barely move around. In fact, my wife is getting tired of my storing my bandsaw under our bed." Everybody on the board burst out laughing as well as all of the spectators.
With no further questions, I was given the permit.
