Final Inspection Auto Detailing moves into a new shop!!!

[Justin at Final Inspection]

Hey everybody. Been absent here for the past month or so. My family and I purchased a 6 acre property and closed on June 30th. Since then we have been going non stop getting the house, shop renovations completed. As of now I'm going to start moving my equipment in tomorrow.

Before we moved in

So the 40x60 Morton building is now divided into two sides. Each roughly 40x30. My shop on one side and the other is my wifes barn stalls for our horses.

In order to get my shop going we first had to remove 40+ yards of fill to prep for a 6in concrete slab. First we started by digging down and sinking 2 55 gal drums for my drain/dry well setup.

Once that was done. We removed the rest of the fill, checking grade as we went. We also built in a grade to pitch towards the drain. Once finished we compacted, laid down a vapor barrier and had the slab poured.

My brother in law handle all the electrical work. 10 4 gang boxes and 6 high bay LED UFO lights. I also pressure washed all the walls to remove years of dust and dirt.

Congrats on the new house and barn. Are you planning to add a ceiling and finish the walls on your shop side?

Morton builds some amazing barns. I built a 48x56 Morton a few years ago and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

Man that's amazing Justin, always enjoyed seeing the post on Instagram in ur place.
This is a whole other level now man, and that is awesome you were able to remain near home too.
Love being able to take a break and not be dedicated to one place.
Always top notch work...

Thats exactly the next plan. To insulate the walls and ceiling then have a HVAC system installed this fall.

Congrats man! My wife and I are excited to be looking at something simliar to pull the trigger on in the coming years. Perhaps looking at somewhere in Tennessee but heck, it could still be somewhere here in Ohio even.

Modest house but a nice pole barn with a shop for our hobbies, business and more is definitely in the plans.

We have a two year and a six year plan to get out of the failed state of Illinois and more land and a pole barn are aBIG part of the plan.

Great update, Justin!

I remember your original thread on the property. That is going to be a sweet shop. :)

Good Luck! My wife and I just finished our 5 winter in AZ. Our 2 IL friends are looking to pull the plug and go full time. We’re trying to find a larger home/garages to merge into. The car scene in PHX is really busy!
