I just received a photo from the builder and the new shop has been started ... my wife thinks it's our new house but what does she know. I get 680 sq feet in the walkout basement + about 200 square feet of storage and a bathroom. This will be my largest shop space and my first shop with windows and plumbing!

Finally some progress beyond the foundation. There are a number of projects SWMBO wants done, bookcases, closets, etc. so getting the shop setup is priority one once we close. We get a final closing date once it is dried in. I'm planning on a separate heating/AC system for the basement to keep as much sawdust out of the house as possible

Why does it look like they forgot to connect the front gable frame to the roof line before they put the roofing base on?

There's a floor plan of the house itself in the attached .pdf file along with the currently envisioned shop layout. Our idea was to downsize but only the lot got smaller. The three car garage is smaller in square footage than the 2 car garage at our last house but the 5-6 foot depth is simply a result of my truly stellar photo skills.
I've replaced my truck with a Volvo sedan that will fit in this garage and for a half acre lot I don't need any equipment other than a lawn mower and a snow blower so the tractor is gone as well.
On the house plan, my office will be in the formal dining room because really who needs that especially since neither my wife nor I can cook.

Had a chance to get in the house and poke around this afternoon. We have a closing date of May 15th and the builder is pretty sure there won't be any delays.
They're pretty close to finishing up the exterior. Still need to finish up the porch and the stone accents.
This will be the new shop space
My new office space ... which of course I'll be moving into about the same time I'm no longer working at home every day.
Finally, the coffee center.Chr's

How high are the ceilings in the basement shop? I'm surprised there's enough elevation to have a walkout basement.Chr's
