New (very old building) shop

[Too Many Projects]

Well, I just spent over an hour reading this whole "adventure". I must say, you are one determined man. I would have run away, crying, after the well discovery and rain.
I've had a few lemons thrown my way over the years and am just winding down on remodeling a 24x45 pole building for heat with insulation and an overhead door conversion from sliders and I feel like I had a walk in the park with my shop.
That building is very lucky you came along and saved it. It's going to be a very nice place to work on automobiles next summer for you.
Hope your surgery goes well tomorrow and you are able to get some semblance of normal routine back quickly.
