This is what it looked like when I first bought the place

The red highlight lines mark the corners .

I needed to build a new shop for all the lathe work that will pay for the septic system but I am still living in Bastrop soooo....Panelized construction .

All of the floor and wall panels are 4' X 8' and can be rearranged to a variety of different configurations .This one is set up as a 12' X 24' and when packed up it will fit in the back of a 12' box truck .

First ,I assemble and level the floor .

Next ,I tilt up the walls .

Finaly ,I set the roof trusses and cross stingers ,and screw down the tin .

This is a CAD drawing of what I have so far

There will eventualy be a 2 story building connecting the 2 existing single story builings and a 2 story living structure at the back.

This one is of the little outdoor house for my prairiedog buddies

Here are some drawings of a design that I started to use but have since changed. I'm still planning on making the fake boulders by stacking layers of dirtpacked tires and covering them with stucco and and real boulders mixed in. The main purpose is to block the west wall from direct sunlight as well as create an extra sound block.
