The owner’s goal was to build a shop for storage and to use as a workshop if needed. He has a big shop in the front of the home and needed more space for garden equipment. On the retaining wall, Elkhorn Mountain Construction LLC installed a French drain all around for drainage. The homeowner had the gravel put in by another contractor prior to that.
One of the builder’s challenges was that they started late in the season and ended up working in the snow season with the holidays and four feet of snow. They had to stop in early December and finish up in the spring.
Access to the shop was easy because the site was on a large field with plenty of room. Utilities were also easily accessed and no permits were required in St. Regis, so the owner decided to add electrical to the shop after the shed was complete. The owner liked the completed building so much that he had the builders construct a 24’x30’ pole garage for him in the same color.
