We are a military family, having saved up and purchased some land in the mountains of NC where we would like to “retire” to one day. Last summer we constructed the carriage house on the property, which includes a small apartment above a two car garage, which is on top of the wood shop. The wood shop is still a work in progress, requiring the dust collection to be plumbed in and the overall layout re-tweeked and set up. Attached are a few photos of the woodshop during contruction. Our GC and friend was Herb Cook Construction, Boone, NC.

Mac,
That is a beautifule building. It has great lines and is well positioned on the property. I like your use of the reclaimed wood as a wainscoting. This will be a great shop when it is up and running.
I hope your "retimement" comes soon. I've been "retired" for three years (after a 26 year run), and it has been quite busy.
Gool Luck Pard,
