Drive thru doors were not considered and eventhough I have the land it would only be a waste of money. I can back up a trailor useing mirrors very well. A roller chain works well to open the doors.
Living the dream and glad I still have my health to be able to do it. For those that remember me I am still in the same shape as when you saw me last.
May be bigger than a lot of homes. The slab is 40 x 65.
No "MAN CAVE" here. Would not have time to enjoy it. Too much time on the water. This building will replace the shed you see in the second picture. I have more equipment than most tackle shops. I fish everything from tuna to trout and everything in between all year long. Some of my favorite rods and reels I have 2 to 6 each of. Remember when I have customers I have to supply all the equipment and the nearest place for me to get fishing supplies is 80 miles away. That is 160 miles round trip just for some equipment.
The shed small shed in the second picture 10 x 16 will hold 3 freezers and misc items after the big one gets built. I have 2 in it now. most of the bait is gone. Almost Time to resupply.
Major frame work is done Siding and insulation will start next monday.

Up date
They came back today and got all 3 door frames up and the entrance door installed. The one on the lefr is 14' clearence and the other is 12' clearence.
The back and side have been insulated and the walls are installed. The sky light pannels will be cut and installed tomorrow. Note the shed it is replacing. Can't wait to find all the things I have stuffed in that little shed.
Will put up another progress report with pictures tomorrow.
In the meantime I have been getting a chance to try for fish while the bird experts are working. The other day I managed a nice pair of specks one of which was 18 inches. Buddy and Sushi, my 2 cats weighing 16 pounds each, are not spoiled they are just well taken care of. That day I lost 2 other good ones lifting them on the boat and released about 8 shorts. The water has been dirty the last 2 days in the areas we had to go so no catching lately.

I will need a lot of electrical work done for the new shed, pool, and bait shed. The old shed and pool are on temp svc at this time because we had to tear everything up to get the new plans working.
