I miss my workshop

Man,
Today I began to remove the front clip from my truck so I could clean up the frame before putting in my new motor, and wouldn't you know it, It started raining. so much for getting things done today

Re: I miss my workshop

I can feel for you on that. before I finished the shop, I was totally under the mercy of South Mississipi's rainy season (January - December)

Re: I miss my workshop

My most relaxing times are spent in my shop tinkering around on various stuff.

Re: I miss my workshop

Well I have a 25x45 shop with a nice wood stove, killer sound system, tons of lights and my projects still out side in the rain while customers projects sit in side. I just need a bigger shop but I sill feel your pain.

Re: I miss my workshop

I started out again, after moving to NC, with a slanted gravel and mud drive way. Worked my way up to a rented 40X40 shop with concrete floor, air, lots of lights and 70 foot of covered, roof only, dirt floor storage space.
I feel your pain, I used to work as a mechanic for a towing company 25 years ago........engine, trans, rear ends everything on a gravel lot.........it definity sucks.
maybe soon you will be back under cover

Re: I miss my workshop

I wish I was at the point of building a shop. It's so bad around here I just miss having a concrete slab to work off of.

Re: I miss my workshop

I've got a nice big 40x60 shop. It's not set up the way I want, but it's got a roof and last weekend we got the doors closed finally. It has 2-8' rolling steel doors that got hit by a runaway vehicle years ago. They're crooked as he!!, but now the wind and dust are kept at bay. We stuck a wood stove in too, but you can't really heat the whole building, just gives you a place to thaw.
