New house...New shop...

[grub32]

I suppose this is really more of a gloat than anything...Just got moved over the weekend and now I am starting to put everything back in order. WHAT A MESS!!!

To explain some about the pics below...The weather was crappy on move day. The grass leading to the shop was wet. NO DRIVEWAY. MY friends and I carried all the tools through the garage attached to the house and into the new shop/garage.

Life is busy...First, to keep the LOML happy, I have to work on getting the house together. Painting, changing light fixtures and everything else before I can get the shop ready.

The good news is that I need to get the shop together before I can build anything for the house. I have to decide on whether to insulate and drywall or just go as is. I need to run electricity out there and add lighting. I need to build a storage loft to hang many of the lights from. Its going to take time and be expensive.

Hopefully, I can have everything ready for an Ohio Chapter meeting in June.

Anyway, here is my new kingdom with tools laying everywhere.

Where is the Heater!

What Grass all I see is some kind of white powder all over the yard

It ain't my money, but I vote for insulation and a BIG heater.

Heater and such...

The torpedo heater is 75 btu and I have another that is 23btu. Both Kerosene. It is going to be a big expense to insulate...I am going to start when I have the money...Electric and lighting are going to be a priority. That will cost over 500$ alone...I can get it up to 65 easily with the heaters that I have w/o insulation...all I have to do is make sure there is no air leaking in...Thats the big loss. For next winter, I am going to get a BIG wood burning heater.

REALLY BIG!!

Thanks for the comments.

how long before the tree in photo 3 is turned into pens blanks?

 

[thewishman]

You must have some great friends. Did you move an old piano, too, with all of that other heavy stuff?

 

[CaptG]

Nice new shop. Lets see pictures when you are all settled in.

 

[grub32]

I have no plans on turning that tree into a pen yet....Name the tree? and I might find a pen kit to put on it. : )

Chris, No heavy piano...You know how big I am...All my friends are my size or bigger(more robust). I had to trick them into moving all the heavy tools...It took four of us to carry the table saw through the snow.

Might want to check those big doors. That white stuff isn't supposed to be in the shop!:biggrin:

That's a nice big workshop. Looking forward to following your progress as you set it up.

 

[bitshird]

Nice size shop, I sure miss mine.

 

[grub32]

Yeah...It is a really nice shop size. There is no weather stripping on the doors, I am going to get that this weekend and put that on. It is going to take time...
