Don't want to get in the weeds on my start-stop-start-stop process. HOA, LCRA for septic, electrical work, water, etc. It was a longer project than I anticipated or planned.

Decided to buy from Mueller, www.muellerinc.com. They are a big metal supplier in CenTex. They helped with design and recommended a good builder who had built several.

I have too many pics of the whole process, and the wife and I did the floor sealing and paint and raising an internal wall to separate the open garage from my smaller portion for a workshop.

As I said before, don't know if my experience will help, but always glad to help out a Pontiac aficionado.

Thanks for the update.
Looks good and you have spent some money and time on it.
Yes, the LCRA is a hurdle in that area.
Please could you post some pics of the building frame and construction if you
have the time. Always interesting to see what others are doing.
I am trying to be organized on this build. So many things to consider.
Thanks for the info on Mueller. I will check them out.
Your building is not that small. almost 30X40. That is a good size.
You have put a ton of work into it to make it look like a house. Not cheap or easy.
The 4:12 pitch makes it look more residential than shop like.
That is what I am going for. Most of the shops in my area are 2:12 pitched.
No stone on the front of mine for now.
I am leaning toward a standing seam metal roof for a cleaner look and hidden fasteners for Texas crazy weather resistance.
