My Shop

[ak diesel driver]

So after living in my shop for 17yrs I'm finally getting to use it as a shop. So I figured before I get totally moved in I'd take the time to wash and repaint . I knew if I totally moved in I'd never get around to repainting. I am also finishing to window sills I had some scrap solid surface material so I made up some bullet proof window sills as well. I was even so lucky as to have enough to do all the windows with the same color.

Congrats Les, you're officially in the new house?

 

[Will L.]

Cool. Or in your case, hopefully comfortably warm.

Nice Les! Juuuuuuust a bit fancier than the aaverage shop. ..

I started to repaint last winter and got everything moved to one side and my wife stopped me saying I didn't have enough funds to do that right then. So I ended up doing a couple projects amid all the disarray. Not much fun to say the least. I'll keep updating as I get it finished and move tools in.

Nice Les, but if you keep packing in more of that cheep GL stuff in that fancy shop pretty soon you'll have to sit outside again to fix a veh..

Where is the pokey smilie when i need one?

I like the 45 through the wall for the woodburner. Less cleanout chores, safer as well. Why doesn't everybody do that?

Did you notice the chimney is well pipe?

 

[3500GMC]

That explains the mega heavy duty support... I see now.

Got the other side painted

I'm going to make the assumption that the 6/12 roof (or greater) has to do with snow load.
BTW - Nobody that would associate with me has a shop that looks that luxurious. Almost ready for the Aston Martin, Ferrari, Bugatti, Rolls and Porche now...

Probably wouldn't be that nice if I hadn't lived in it for so long

Shop sink installed.

Oh and 6/12 roof is mainly cause I don't want to shovel. Just after I framed it I came home for Christmas and there was already 5' of standing snow. I did shovel it then. Chunks came off the size of vw beetles. I could walk off my roof

Is that a beam with a chainfall and trolley?, cool setup..
