                    Signed the lease for the shop on Wednesday, 1200 sq/ft of a place to call ours! I am extremely excited to have it over the winter, as it has heated floors!

                    Bathroom, high ceiling, and large garage door are all a bonus!

                    I will be getting pictures up once we start moving things in.

                    ...

                        Still no luck?  I figured you'd have found something by now.

                            That's something I guess.  I have a kerosene torpedo heater you can borrow if you want.  Also, if you need to get the press out of there, I can take that back to free up some room.

                                Now that I am situated in my new home and am getting ready to bring the e21 there as well, I wanted to turn what was once a sun room attached to the garage, into a workshop. Plans are to take out the windows and make it a solid wall so no one can see in anymore, build a worktable and eventually insulate it and drywall the rest. One of the cool parts tho is that most if not all the wood will be recycled and cost me zero dollars. My dad is currently rebuilding his backyard deck (where the 4x4s and 2x4s will come from) and my brother just replaced his flooring in the living room with carpet (where the table and shelving tops will come from). I started out measuring the area and modeling the room layout in my 3D program I use for work. This is what I came up with.

                                0ecbf4e92f1f4402c1e037fc1e28c6d0.jpg

                                Next I demolished a storage box that was built into the wall making room for part of the table.

                                    Looking good. I like the planning/thought going into this. It will be what you want and less work down the road.

                                        Very cool Dave! Can't wait to have my own in-home shop and bonus points for reusing materials! Gives it great character.

                                          Looking good. I like the planning/thought going into this. It will be what you want and less work down the road.

                                          Thanks! I will definitely let you know if I do! :)

                                          Looks great, I also used a 7x11 porch as part of my one car garage to increase useable shop area.

                                          Thanks man! I figure why not turn something that wasn't really used into something very useful, you know?

                                          Very cool Dave! Can't wait to have my own in-home shop and bonus points for reusing materials! Gives it great character.

                                          Thanks Chris! Yeah, you will for sure know its reused materials. I was thinking about painting it so it all looks close to the same, but maybe I will let the character of the mismatched wood stay for awhile. :D
