The Excavations is complete, the retaining wall is up, the slab is poured, the steel arches are assembled, ready to stand up soon, very soon.

You've been busy!
Nice slab. How deep are your footings?

18X16" two sides 18X8" two sides with 4 sticks of re-bar 4 sides, with a 6" slab. total 18 yards of cement.
That will be a fine, stout building. I love love love that system (Canadian, isn't it), had a neighbor with such a building, strong, easy (no) maintenance.

Hey, déjà vu!
This brings me back a few years.
Heck, if WebShots didn't "overhaul" their webpage and delete all member albums without a single warning, I could point you to the album of my shop build. It was a great weekend (once the slab was poured and cured). If you are going tall, do yourself a favor and invest in a scissor lift to put the arches up. I did 3 at a time and it went much faster than I originally thought.
And if your neighbor has an extra cordless drill and a spare battery pack, borrow them. It will go faster.
Have fun!

At least your 1st project could have been a stamp with Barb's name in it or sumpin.
But I'm sure you'll christen the shop with blood sweat or tears soon enough.
I'm dying to know why you blocked off the front with that retaining wall. Nothing to roll out? Never?
