Setting up my new 40'x30' building?
Lived on acreage years ago, then moved in the city. Wife and I have a contract on a nice house / acreage with a wonderful 40'x30' steel building. It's on 3 acres. We close in August...can't wait to move in!
Building is tall, I think 16', concrete floor throughout, but has no power. I've already talked to electricians and will be running 220 out there. I am absolutely STOKED! Will be used to store a few toys (two Polaris ATV's), my 1972 Chevy K-20 4x4, lawn mower(s), and my hunting stuff (decoys, layout blinds, tree stands, etc.), two kayaks, did I mention decoys??? : ) I will have room to store my fishing boat out back of the building. It seems HUGE right now, but I know it will fill up fast with all my stuff. Here is what I'm bringing from current house: - 220v 60 gallon air compressor - 220v MIG welder - engine hoist / engine stand - power washer - all my tools / paint guns / decoys / bikes / hunting stuff / etc. Future plans: - run 220v to the building, wire the whole damn thing - run CAT-6 ether to the building for wired internet access (have a dedicated shop laptop) - build a nice, long workbench like I have in my garage now - cabinets to store tools, etc. - Shop will be used for storage and projects. - I plan to restore my K-20 at some point in time. - I've thought about adding a window on the north side to maybe get some airflow through there. Doors face South-west. - Plan on putting down some rock in front of building and making a pseudo road to front of property (building my own little rock road...does that make sense...) Suggestions for things to do / not do in a building this size?
