This project started last Spring with a dream, a set of architect drawings, and a reality check when pricing came back. From there, it became a balancing act of figuring out what made sense to hire out, what we could tackle ourselves, and how to turn a big idea into something that was actually achievable.
I’ll continue sharing the process as we go—the costs, decisions, lessons learned, mistakes made, and everything I’d do differently if I were starting from scratch. If you’re considering building a shop or taking on a project like this yourself, I’m always happy to answer questions along the way!
