so now how much room is this 'cave' giving you? Sq Footage? I will be very interested in seeing how everything fits and where you are putting all the little "extras". I am guessing that getting the benchs in place is the first order of business.

Better hurry, you could be getting a little rain soon.

Wayne, it's 120 sq ft BUT...figure cubic ft with the 8 ft walls. I could get a bunch stacked on a corner shelf. Just thinking. Yes, thunderstorms today. Like being back in Florida:biggrin:

I am scared to suggest this but here goes.

Can you sort things as to what needs to go in first and then the rest in an order that makes sense to just get it in the shed. I am think mostly heavy things. The things you might want a younger person to carry or even two young guys to handle.

If so, then, can you afford some $5 dollar pizza and soda? Go to the high school and request maybe the defensive line and line backers to come over for a moving/pizza party......you know they can use a workout and love pizza. And you know the younger guys can be paid with food

I am just trying to help out Chuck. Maybe even get you back to turning before the month ends?

:biggrin:

Great minds think alike!:biggrin: Our grandson and his lineman buddy are coming to help with the heavy stuff. I'm putting the loose stuff in some tubs myself. So, nothing gets mishandled. This starts tomorrow. Great idea...the pizza & beer...I mean sodas :biggrin:

Have you ever seen how much pizza a teenager can eat?:eek:
Click to expand...



I said I was SCARED to suggest this. Having a Teenager here at home and his buddies keep the fridge cleaned out. No leftovers here.
On weekends ..... 2 gallons of milk per day. I have cried at times when I have walked out with groceries. We stock up when we can but somethings just don't keep.
The wife is "Canning" as we speak. Tomatos are a staple here. Chile, sauses, hotdishes, soups, stews, etc. Mushrooms are another thing. Can lettus and spinach be frozen at home? Our garden is the only life saver we have in the summer.

We talk of the old days. My wife and I call them "BC" Days. (Before Children) :doctor: Congrates sir.......you are the proud father of a 9 pound eating machine.:eek:

I know what you mean. I cringe when I hear, my stepson is coming to stay for a couple of days. THAT, is a food vacuum. :confused:

Hey Ernie! Thanks, it's always good to hear from you. You're right, it's been a great summer. It's only right to have a few sweltering hot days. I was blessed with mostly good weather for this project.
 
Chuck, I have some vacation coming up. The week following the 3 hour. I'll be in Indy the weekend after Labor day for the race. I'll hit you up so we can do lunch on Sunday! I'll also be up there for US Nationals, but wont have any spare time.

If you don't make it this time I'll be very disappointed but, will still understand. Been a long time. Enjoy the racing.

Hope I'm all set up when you get here. Thanks!
 
Moving in

Got some things moved in yesterday. Most important things first. :biggrin: Hopefully, the other bench & tools today or, tomorrow.

It depends on my grandson Doc. I can get SOME things myself but, that bench is a bit much for me. I'll give him a call in awhile. Thanks Doc!:smile:

Getting closer to completion. Floor and, baseboard is in. Trim around the door is up. The first photo is the Lounge Area :biggrin: The outside temperature was 79 F so, I closed the doors and, window and gave the A/C a test. Within 3 minutes it was cool. And by 6minutes really nice.

Chuck,
I had to go back to this posting. I am assuming that the tile is 12"x12". When I count accross there only seem to be 9 squares, so you square footage might be a little off.:biggrin:

Looks like the grandson did an alright job yesterday. Hopefully, he doesn't make Grandpa and the rest of us wait to long. We need to see some shavin's on the floor.

:laugh:

Yes, it's like 9'4" wide on the inside. Outside dimensions are 10'x12' still...it's too small. :redface: We did ok yesterday. Got all the junk off the long bench today. Grandson hopes to come buy after work today. Thanks Wayne!
 
More moving in.

I'm going to need another bench for the buffer and, the fridge. But things are happening now! :wink::biggrin:

I squeezed the old compressor under the metal lathe. Believe it or not this thing works great.

Looking great Chuck. Thankfully, you are not running both lathes at once. Compressors really need to be abused to have problems. General care will make any of them last a lifetime. Once you have things in place.....it will be interesting to see how you have them laidout. I am assuming that you have a working order for your tools.
The more I see......the better I like it.

Thanks Wayne. Yes, it's good I CAN'T run two things at the same time. I would hurt myself. The tools are laid as I've been accustomed to using them. No particular order but, they're on an 8' bench. The metal lathe has a dedicated bench of it's own. I like it that way. Wait until tomorrows photos :rolleyes::biggrin:
 
So my buddy, ole chum.......now that you've got all the creature comforts in there....will you remember how to actually make a pen from all those ornaments ( oops... sorry, I mean tools ) that you are moving in? :laugh:

I reckon you will actually cry the first time you get a drop or two of CA or drop a sharp tool on that pretty floor....:rolleyes:


LOL, just kidding you Chuck!! It's starting to look great!!:biggrin:
 
How much stuff do you need?

Now is the time to sort out some stuff. How much do I need to make pens? Some of this extra gear is for anodizing which, I might use again someday. :rolleyes:

In one photo you can see a small Dremmel lathe my cousin brought to me. There is another, even smaller, and a drill press that you attach your hand drill to. Gonna be busy making a lot of decisions this week.:redface:

Notice how I've made good use of space by stacking the chop saw on top of the table saw while not in use? :biggrin:

:laugh: I figure, once a friend, always a friend....right? So, I can count on my friends to help out again :biggrin: when I discover, I've forgotten how to make a pen after all? :redface: I WILL be upset if, I damage this floor. SO, I getting more anti-fatigue mats :wink::biggrin:

Thank you Steven! It's gratifying to know I've reached your approval after all :laugh:

Ohh! That wouldn't be good :biggrin:
 
Well, the floor isn't clean any more. I would put TWO garbage cans outside the door. I would then start sorting, cleaning, and pitching the garbage. Decide what you want to do in the "cave" and get the rest of the stuff out of there.
DAMHIK.......to many hobbies in one place makes for a mess.

You can always bring things in.......it is damn hard to get them out.
 
Who would've thunked that a thread on the interweb about some guy's new shed would end up being more entertaining and popular than Breaking Bad....or am I thinking Broke Back?????:rolleyes:

You watch your back when carrying stuff in there Chuckster....:tongue:



You do realise that we are going to get more and more merciless until you make some shavings in there, don't you????:biggrin:

:laugh: It's probably a good thing for me, that I didn't see Either of those shows. :biggrin: I'm pretty sure there are only a few of my friends that, really give a rats behind(nothing personal) about this shed. :rolleyes: But, are a bit curious. Thanks for the roughage Steve! :biggrin:
