Ken O Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Finally got some time today to check in. Been a busy 6-8 months. Sold our old house and downsized to a new one. Went from 4 bed 2 bath to 2 bed 1 bath. It's an older place on 1/3 acre so I have plenty of room to build my dream shop with my wifes %100 approval! Have a couple bids out for a 30 x 50 x 12 pole building. Should be starting soon. All my tools are in the little tiny 1 car garage. I have a little path down the side to get to the garage door and the light switch, haha. Spent most of this last week doing yard work, cutting trees, removing stumps, flattening the yard etc... now it's ready for grass. Hopefully by this fall I should start posting some more stuff in the bragging rights section, my sister already has a project for me.

kmmcrafts Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nice, Not sure the shop you're building will be big enough ... Seems like it should be but my findings are.. You always find more stuff to put into a bigger shop, LOL Like that old Chevy pick-up in the one photo.. always wanted one of those old Chevy trucks..

OCtoolguy Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 What state did you land in? I'd give anything to move away from where I'm at but the wife has her feet firmly planted in cement and not going to move. I am so envious of you no matter where you are. As long as it doesn't snow.

WayneMahler Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Always nice to down size. Not sure about the size of your next shop, seems they fill up fast with lots of extra things . Congrats on the move and the new shop. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 It had better be big enough! That's as big as the city will let me go. The plan is to take the Oil furnace out of the basement and replace it with an electric heat pump and then put the furnace in the shop. That way I don't have to pay for anything extra and I get some good heat in the winter. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCROLLSAW703 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well, wherever ya are, you've got some nice scenery around ya!☺☺ neighbors are a little to close fer my likin', & ya got a fenced back yard to keep track of the grass. Congrats on your new shop! 30 x 50 is fair size! It'd be about right for me! From the looks of your garage though, I certainly hope it'll serve you well! Keep us posted with build pictures!

Rockytime Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 30'X50' is amazing. I would probably give my eye teeth for that space. Be sure to post photos as you progress. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
