Looks to me like a old firehouse. I truly do like what ya done.

That's it!!!! You need to mount a bell above it in its own enclosure.

Funny you say this. I spent some time in a lot of old fire houses in the City of Detroit. I really loved all their architecture. Some good looking buildings and a lot of them went to waste.

Now that my barn is finished, my wife calls herself a "barn widow".

Ken the place looks great, I'll bet you really will spend a lot of time in there.

Your siding guys must have LOVED that brick detail! Lol. The brick does look really nice and they did a good job trimming it.

Thanks for the kind words. Now it will take some time, But electrical, landscaping etc still needs to be done. I am hoping to have more progress before winter.

Yep. Time and Money.

A building, regardless of design, is just a shed until it's insulated, wired, lighted, heated. A bathroom is optional, until you have one, then it's mandatory. Same with AC. A hoist is optional unless you work on your own vehicles, then it's mandatory.

I "live" in my shop in the Winter. By Spring I am suffering from Cabin Fever and want out. By Fall I am longing for Winter and the comfortable function of my Shop.

Insulated? Heated? You guys in pineapple land are spoiled. Up here we work harder and faster to warm up. The BSing helps too.
