Congrats on reaching the finish line. I guess it's time for me to start packing up my shop...

Re: OT: Building in isolated location
You got to be happy Bill....almost just about practically nearly in there now!
I look forward to seeing the new improved super-duty Garage Mahal when you get your toys moved in.

Awesome Bill! Must feel good finally nearing the end of the project. What will you do after????
Vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be.

After? Hopefully, there never will be an after!
My current big project is clearing the smaller trees between the view and the road on the south side a little over a thousand feet long. I've already done a stretch on the north side of the road, but only about half as long. (The view there is just more forest.)
Of course, I have a huge amount of landscaping to do around the house; some on the east side with the majority on the west, or front side: Decorative stuff made mostly from native rock; sitting areas, fire pit, and a decorative pond that will serve as a source of water for fire prevention.
After we close, the big thing will be building another full bath (#5) in the garage, a laundry room and most important of all, my shop! I'll start another thread concerning the shop . . . I'll need all the help I can get.

Re: OT: Building in isolated location
Bill, you should be proud of yourself, you have built an impressive home. I wish you many years of happiness while there.
Live for the moment!
Prepare for tomorrow!
Forgive the past!

Re: OT: Building in isolated location
Really great, Bill. Maybe you look at the shop over at P.M. "Antique Machinery" posted recently. It is a wonder of work. "I" beams placed across load bearing posts. Double duty as it supports the structure while able to move heavy machinery via trolley hoists.
