Hey TC...
I was floating around the internet, and found a video of you. I had NO IDEA that you were a former professional wrestler.
What was it like hanging out with Mr. Bunny ? Was wrestling rigged, back then, like today's WWE ?

I have to get the underlay for the roof on, and then poly the man door and windows, and then set up a couple big tarps on the main doors to keep rain, sun etc off the slab floor for best curing and finish. Have to get this done in the next couple days so they can pour the slab next week. Almost done with contractors, but really has been a pretty good experience.

What Augie said. I'm really impressed with how fast that crew is 
I really like the fact that you went with the over hang all the way around, I think it gives the building more finished look. I put recessed lights with motion sensors over my big doors, they were a two step sensor that came on after dark with low wattage so the lights just glowed till you set off the sensor then they came on bright, it worked really well for me.

Looks great, big man.
What size service you running in? 200 amp, I would assume?
Are you making sub floor footings for your new lift? You know, like Ollie did in his shop?
Can't imagine cost would be more than a hundred or two. Love to be able to change oil, without needing a pillow under my head.

The engineer who did the drawing for the shop included extra bracing, rebar and thickening in the slab floor for the area where the posts for the lift will be bolted down.
As for service....not too sure will see what the electrician has to say about it....but better to go with the bigger option for amperage then to cheap out now and regret it later.

I really like the 2' overhang as well...shops without it just look weird to me.

/QUOTE]
I didn't do a footing really, I just used a 4x8 sheet of blue foam board that was 1 inch thick rather than the rest of the slab that used 2 inch thick board.
This gave me an extra inch of concrete in a large area around the shop lift foot print.
I also did the same tech. under a post that will have a bunch of snow load over it in the winter.
It was really easy to do it that way, without making a separate form and a two stage pour.
The extra "footings" where far away from outside walls, so I am not worried about the small amount of insulation loss from the 1 inch foam in those 3 places.
In the end my slab was 2 inches thicker than what the lift called for in those areas. A little safety margin on something like that I think is a good investment.

Progress looks great!!
My only suggestion would be to go with a good size service for future upgrades. Lot cheaper now than later.
When I did my shop I wired the lights on a separate breaker so when you trip one you are not in the dark as well.
Are you running a pvc conduit in the concrete to get power to your hoist? You could upsize it one and have a plug in receptacle on the hoist to save having an extension cord on the ground when working underneath.
Just my two cents. Keep the photos coming.
