Building our dream home : a chronicle of Grafton Keep

Starting on the "workshop"

 

First order of business is to get the workshop roof re-done.  The current roof design has 4 different rooflines for a simple rectangular building.  We are going to have a company come in and remove the cuppola on the back side, and re-frame the entire thing to be a better design.  Doing this will increase the floor space of the soon to be living area for the building.

The workshop is the first of many stages to finishing our dream home and property

The workshop has 3 floors.  The ground floor will become our metal shop / blacksmith studio.  The 2nd floor will become our woodworking and pottery studio.  The 3rd floor will be turned into a 1 bedroom apartment that we will move into for the duration of the build on the primary house.  

This is the workshop building on the day we took ownership of the property.  Many changes need to happen to make this less craptastic!
