Very kewl. You can never have too big of a shop, but that one sure
looks like it'll be roomy :-)
I'm a little confused though... will it have a concrete floor?

Yes, with radiant hot water heat in the slab.

Re: IdaSpode has been busy
Wow. Where's he going to get all that hot
water during the cold Boise winters? Pipe it
in from Baumgartner? Or did he discover a
hot spring under the back patio?
I'd assume it would take a truck load or propane
to heat that slab through the winter.
Curious as I may be moving to Idaho....one of
these years......

Sweet. I wonder how much cheaper it was to go with wood posts instead
of steel. Down here I've become accustomed to seeing the site leveled
and prepped, and the slab poured as the first order of business. Then
the steel beams attach to the slab and the structure goes up. But I
think steel is cheaper than wood in Texas ;->

Exactly my thoughts.
Over here noone would bury wood, not even in a concrete filled bucket
per post. The wood would decay from water accumulating in said cavities.
Even the A-frames of swings on children's playgrounds have the wodden
posts caught in steel "grips" and only the 2 feet steel rods from said
grips enter the soil.
I was told wooden posts may be used 100% under water or 100% above
ground for decades. But having them at the border between one medium
and another will make them rot fast. (except for super dry areas
like Arizona deserts)

Well, wooden posts, or "poles," have been used throughout the
states here for years to construct barns, sheds, carports and the
like. In fact, our carport relies on pressure-treated 4x4" posts
cemented about 2.5' into the ground, and it's lasted over seven years
so far. Some pole barns are still going strong after 100 years. Often,
termites get the structures before dry rot does. But in the cases
above, all of these structures have either dirt or wood floors or, in
the case of our carport, an interior slab that doesn't touch the
posts. So it was just unusual to see DJs shop with the wood posts and
imagine a concrete slab being poured around them. It may be more
common than I imagine though.

Hey, more photos.

I suppose if we stuck up for the guy when he needed us he might still be

DJ, apparently. You'd have to go back to late December to find the
incident Dean's referring to (try the 22nd-27th). But you'd probably
have to go back several years to locate the genesis. I'd quote Rodney
King if I thought it'd do any good.

Except for the final blowout, it all slipped past my radar. Don't even

Well, geez. I didn't even know there was a blowout.
