Shop builds can be fun and exciting. I understand the motivation bit. I am working on building an office in my shop.... feels like it is taking forever. I tell myself to keep moving forward, even if it is just a little at a time. Some progress is better than no progress. Good luck! |

Well I scraped and shoveled the area quite a bit smoother. But I'm having a third re-think! I have a much larger shed about 300 feet from the house, uninsulated and unheated, and a partial dirt floor in one section. I use it only for storage now. But I'm thinking now that if I finish out the floor, add a ceiling, install insulation inner paneling and lighting, and some form of heat, it would be a proper and much larger workshop than adding piecemeal to the little shed up by the house. It's on relatively level ground , so a lot easier to bring materials to and work on. It's exterior is also already built, and it doesn't need any addition, just finishing out. So easier work than trying to make a silk purse out of the tiny shop/sow's ear. The only drawback is the distance from the house in winter and at night. It's also down a steep hill that the house is on. Heh, walking the drive at night I sometimes imagine bears are watching (it's through the woods). But if it's a nice clean well lighted place, I think I won't mind the hike. Hell, If I get too lazy I can always drive there! |
