Looks great, Al! Looking forward to the mad scientist stuffs you create in it.

and if you can accept that, then you surely can accept a career criminal's advice, haha...

congrats on the new improvements, you did good.

Yeah, if I had it to do over, I would have done 4' of block around the entire perimeter. I was trying to follow the lay of the land by stepping it down on the left, but it ended up being a PITA when it came to backfilling. Since it sloped away on the right side, I didn't put any block on the front corner, so it kinda looks lopsided. Hopefully, some landscaping will cover up most of the blemishes.

That is a damn fine looking shop Al! I am sure we could all spend colossal amounts of time in there!

Bring an HBM or a knee mill with you and we'll make some metal shavings

Front wall is insulated, ready for sheathing
