Thanks, I like to take pride in stuff, trying to do it right and to try and stay within a budget, it is easy to get carried away and go way over budget.

I love the look of the workshop, you have done a great job! I have been following the thread and enjoying all of the pictures. Yes, I am a bit of a lurker.

Can I ask about the hoist? I don't really understand the storage location of the rope, because it seems so high up and kind of dangerous to access. Will you be leaning out the door and standing on a chair to reach it? Using a stick with a hook or Y on it to grab the rope? I don't understand why you would put it up so high and out of reach instead of right beside the door. Is there a balcony in the plan for that door that would make it safer to get at the rope? In that case, I don't know how you would hoist something past the balcony.

No attack or criticism meant, you have done a beautiful job of this build and so I am sure you have a plan. I am just wondering why you would put the rope holding post up so high. Cheers.

Good question, The door that is going there is going to be in three parts, I have the bottom half which will be one piece, then the top half which will be two pieces, so I put it above, I have a rod with a hook that takes it off no problem all while staying in the building and when the bottom door is in place it'll be safe. I don't plan to use the hoist very often it is more there just for looks.
I have also thought of adding a balcony/deck at some point.
