Just got the electricity this week. Needs a few trimmings but definitely pen ready. Maybe Anthony will make me a sign.

Congrats!!!
Care to tell us the size and cost?

The Sshopsmith takes care of a lot of these - I do have with it table saw, drill press, disc sander, grinding/buffing attachment, shaper, jointer, and a few more, but your correct, my list is still pretty long,
Shop is 8 x 16 - prefab. I kept it below the 150 sf minimum for building permit and narrow enough to squeeze through the bushes without too much damage. Price without electrical was about $2600 with a few extras included such as the steel door, vinyl siding, 4 windows, and double thick floor. No more complaints from LOML about the casting odors[

Congratulations! I hope one of the trimmings you are speaking of is insulation.

And tie-downs..............
BTW, regardless of the size, if you put electric in there, you probably are required to have a permit............
Nice, hope you enjoy.

Was told by the elctrician that installed it, in my county, if you don't need a building permit, then you don't need an electical permit. I did check with the county before installing. It is built to code - 2 ground rods, 12 gauge interior wiring with 20 amp protection, etc.

We have a lot of problems with detached structures since the last version of NEC changed from the old 3-wire systems for sheds, garages, etc. Sounds like he did it right. Really scary sometimes the stuff that I see............
I really hope you enjoy your shop, always good to have a shop to go to, even if there aren't any tools in there!!![]

Real Men don't need no stinking insulation or heat... keep that NICE lathe running and you'll generate all the heat you need.... suggest peg board on the walls.. I put up a 12 x 24 and peg boarded all around inside on the top 1/2 of the wall.. solid board on bottom...

Cheers and congrats on your new home away from home!

Bruce,
Nice shop.. I like all of the windows.. I put up my shop about a year ago.. about same price, but almost twice size.. plus all of the interior and electricity.. only two windows though... wish I had spent a few $ more and put in a couple more windows.. I live in the country so no problem with permits..
