shop gloat

[sbell111]

For years, we've been sharing shop space in our 2-car garage with my convertible and a ton of junk. Soon, this will end.

We've been looking into selling our house and building a new one for a while. Last week, we signed a contract to buy five acres for the new casa. The bonus is that there is an existing 1500 sq ft warehouse on the back part of the property.

Nice that should give you all the room you need and then some.

Gee, I feel sorry for you. Having to fill all of that space with tools and wood. I hope that you are up to the challenge. LOL Have a good time.

Better get that shop set up before SWMBO needs a place put stuff. Enjoy the space.

The good news is the my wife turns pens (far better than I do) and she is a tad OCD about a clean and orderly shop.

My plan is to section off about 40% of it for storing and working on vehicles and use the remaining 30'x30' space for the woodshop and a small mechanical room where the dust collector and air compressor will live.

Thats awesome, tear down that warehouse and get you a 10x20 shed to put on the slab...........

There's no need. The side of the building has a 10 foot lean-to extension. The first 15-20 feet are walled in to serve as a shed for the lawn mower and related gear. The remaining 30-35 feet have only a roof, but will be good to store lots of other stuff.

(I'm pretty excited.)

You sir, are a lucky man. I would love to share a hobby with my wife.
