Hey! It's a start

I thought I would put all the progress photos in one post. I hope it works out. :redface:

It looks like the first couple of photos failed to upload. No big deal. Going to get the left over insulation in the rafters this week, then drywall this week end. Thanks to all for your interest and, support. Still a long way to go. :rolleyes:

It's looking good Chuck I'll bet you can't wait to get moved in. I'll bet your wife can't wait either then she will have a parking space in the garage again. I haven't parked in my garage in about 15 years.

Good things DO happen. Even to ME! :rolleyes: A messenger, sent from above dropped $100.00 into my Paypal account for drywall this morning :biggrin: BIG, BIG help! Happy days are here again! :wink::biggrin: Thank you angel :biggrin:
 
Dale, why did you just go with the single outlets? Why not do double gang boxes and put quads in them? Was this a money issue? Or maybe just have everything on plug strips. As an ex-electrician, just curious. I know its a small shop, but i always do quads when possible. Plus, thats more plugs to plug more plug strips into plug more plugs for things into, right!:biggrin:

I would have thought a 4 plex every 4 ft would be a great start. You would still only use one or two things at a time. Like your lathe and a light. I added 28 outlets to the garage where Im at now and have run out of places to plug things in and have a couple power strips plugged into them

It's 120 square feet. You pretty much answered your own question. Yes, money is always an issue for me. :redface:

I think what I have will be enough. Same as I had in North Port. Except the addition of the four foot strip. Guess I'll find out. I can always have # four foot strips. :biggrin:
 
I haven't checked in here for a bit Dale. Your shop is looking great.

I used to have a friend in North Port Ken Hutchinson I have not talked to him in a long time and don't know if he is even with us anymore. My father is just north of there in Venice.

Can't wait to see pens coming out of that space.

Mike
 
Drywall is up and, taped. Second coat of mud goes on tomorrow morning. Maybe third coat too. I got this low dust, fast drying stuff.

Thanks Mike. Don't think I met Ken. Although, it seems like I saw someone with that name somewhere. I have more hats and, T-shirts that say Venice, than North Port. We loved Venice, for everything. Beach, shops, Christmas Boat Parade etc. Just a cool town.

Chuck, I'm with Skip. You really have to stop that. It's beginning to look nicer than my house...

But Mike, your shop has finished walls.:wink: I think, the nicer my shop looks, the nicer my pens will be. :rolleyes: If I still remember how to make one. :redface: Thanks Mike!
 
Chuck,
It is lookin' great. Just put up what you want and make the rest of us jealous. Hell, Maybe ever a few will get the idea that they too can have a studio. Some of us just get set in our old ways and are afraid to do something new and wonderful.

I have been cleaning my place this weekend. Looking better all the time. LOL
Wayne
 
ROTFLMAO! Only you Steven Jackson :biggrin: Thrown under the bus now! :rolleyes:

I think I like the one with stained glass.....no the Diner. But, I am NOT into baskets.:frown:

Thanks Wayne, I hope it does influence some into building one. That otherwise wouldn't. :wink: It's been a blast and, given some bonding time with my brother before he goes back to AZ for the winter.

Hey, have you got photos posted?

Hey Chuck you are going to have to go back to the library and start at the beginning by the time you turn another pen. You won't know finial from center band! Can you remember the last time you turned a pen? You will have a great place to read about it though! You must be having shakes like crazy from the Pen DT's..
 
Well, I for one will be really excited when you get your shop cranked up and start putting out more masterpieces. I really enjoy the way you style your pens and I was quite saddened a few months back when you sold off some of your stuff. I can't tell you how happy I have been to see this shop go up, mostly because I enjoy your work.

SO HURRY UP! You have a legion of fans! I think you've designed your shop well, for winter warmth and perhaps later, a/c for the summer. I am waiting with great anticipation.

Thank you Bill. When Redburn sees this, he'll say I need a bigger hat. :biggrin:I appreciate your compliments. I AM hoping to get this job over with soon. But, gee whiz...EVERTHING is $100.00 every time I need the next thing, it's another $100.00 :rolleyes: But, at least I'll have nice surroundings :biggrin:

Todays progress

Finished sanding the joints, caulked the sill plate (almost forgot) put some backing plates above the drywall to, catch the trim when the time comes and, painted the walls. Got a deal on some eggshell so, I used that. I'm done for the day! :redface:
