Mike, a Great Western customer from Grand Junction, Colorado is originally from South Africa and has lived in the United States for 25 years. He enjoys spending time in the desert and got tired of the commute. So, he packed his bags and moved to Grand Junction to keep his hobbies a little closer to home. In the midst of it all, he decided he wanted to expand his space for woodworking after his retirement.
The building is a 40 x 35 gabled steel building. Mike has several smaller sheds on concrete pads on the property, but wanted to finally “do it right” and erect a full-blown shop.
“I always dreamt that when I retire, I’m going to build myself a shop,” Mike told GWB.
Mike continues to say that they plan to build a house on the property in the future. So, having the shop available for woodworking, like building cabinets and other components for the future house build, is going to come in handy. That sounds like a great plan of action to us!
Mike explains how he found Great Western and why he chose to purchase his shop building from us.
“My natural tendency is to support my local community…I went with it and it’s been fantastic…they were just fantastic to work with. They were accessible. If I phoned them and it was a missed call, two minutes later I’d get a call back…I don’t think I would change anything,” said Mike.
Overall, we’re happy that Mike was satisfied not only with his building, but with our service here at Great Western Buildings. We’re happy to have been a part of his story and achieving one of his retirement goals in having his own shop and look forward to seeing his progress on his house and conversion van!
