After months of planning, dirt work, delays, concrete, more delays, then finally some steady progress, the carport portion of the shop expansion is finally complete. This project took far longer than we expected, but it feels good to see it standing and in use.
The tractor and mower are now parked under cover instead of sitting out in the weather. That alone makes a big difference. Keeping equipment dry and protected saves wear and tear and makes daily work easier when we are not fighting mud, rain, or ice.
While the carport is finished, the workshop itself still has tons of work ahead of us. The space is there and the foundation is set, but the interior build out will come next as time and budget allow. We still need to wire receptacles and lights, and sheath the interior walls with plywood. For now, having the covered equipment space is a big win.
This project has been a reminder that nothing on this land seems to move fast, but progress still adds up. One section at a time, the infrastructure is taking shape.
