Hi Andy,

I am late replying, but I just found this link while researching the same topic. Your project sounds very interesting. Please post pictures when you get started. [url=http://www.toolbase.org/PDF/DesignGuides/revisedFPSFguide.pdf][/url]

Its a very good link with detailed explanations on Alaskan slabs. A friend built his garage using an Alaskan slab in Quebec City, its been many years and the garage has not moved at all.

Personally, I am debating if I will go ahead and build a workshop / garage with the slab or wait and build my cabin with a walkout basement that will be used as a workshop in the summer and garage in the winter. My wife wants a pottery workshop, I want a wood working workshop and we store our car in my uncles barn in the winter. He is getting old, we may need to store our car in the workshop in the future. What makes things a bit complicated is the fact that I am messy and my wife is supper clean, so sharing a workshop will be an issue.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Serge
