Sparkey Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Finally got started on my new shop. I won't run the electric until next year. Been doing everything with an extention cord. The bench is 21 feet long. keefie, oneleggimp, amazingkevin and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) That's better. Looking good. My shop has OSB walls like yours. Painting them white made a major difference in lighting. You might want to consider that before you build a lot more. BTW I used the cheapest builder's white I could find. It just took two coats.

It is unfortunate that you have one big problem ... it is in the wrong location.. it is about 400 miles too far south Thanks for sharing your shop with us.

heppnerguy Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Coming along swell. Be sure and insulate the ceiling too. Keep the warm temperatures in the shop in the winter and out in the summer. It will be a really nice place to do your work Dick heppnerguy Travis and Sparkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
