Thanks Flash. It’s been a long road to get to this point for sure.

Absolutely! I got all 4 for $400. They are steadily getting filled up & seem pretty durable so far. I got some really cool cabinets from my wife’s deceased grandfather yesterday that are super cool & extremely rugged too. I’ll throw a pic of them up soon too.

I wish my shop was the size of yours, but I’m proud to have one finally.

Ha...somehow not even then, if you noticed how much “stuff” I hauled out. It was getting jammed.

[nlped]

But Doug, I’d sure like the chance to try and fill that much space up.

But just an FWIW, I have another 21x24’ enclosed building, a 24’x18” Garage & a 24”x24” carport full of car related stuff too.

[nlped]

Well, after some discussion with a good buddy, a/c is in the very near future. Hope to start the install by the end of the week :happyhappyjoyjoy:

My reasoning: 88 degrees outside today for the high, just came out of the shop (@18:40) and it was 85. It’s not even hot yet & the humidity is ridiculous!!!

[Advanced Design]

That sounds like a great idea! Any ideas yet on what type of system you will use?

[nlped]

I’m going with an 8-ton unit. It includes indoor, outdoor & strip heat. Has a 10-10 warranty...& makes COLD AIR.

[mongocanfly]

yeah ac would be nice....I was in one of thise "hot.box" shops today sweating my butt off.....I've been thinking of doing geothermal cooling for mine...still studying on it. ...

[nlped]

Yeah, with the rocky a$$ soil here, I don’t foresee geothermal being cost effective. Yeah, the hot months may be a bit spendy, but the rest of the year shouldn’t be bad. Cold doesn’t really bother me, so I think the annual cost of running the system should be pretty tolerable.

Hell, I’ll sell off a few projects if that’ll keep myself cool.

[nlped]

I’ve started the a/c install today. I got the disconnects wired, the outdoor pad laid for the outside unit & airhandler wired. Hope to get all of this finalized so I can get the a/c up and running after the holiday.

[Advanced Design]

Nice! Will you have duct work to disperse the cool air?

[nlped]

Yeah! My buddy that got me these pieces owns a commercial hvac company and is going to build my duct work. I’m going to do some work on his 74 Bronco in trade, but I told him not until the cold air starts happening. I’m excited about the temperature drop, but truly stoked about the humidity drop. It’s like a steam sauna now that the humidity and heat are back in the south.

[nlped]

The outside unit is placed, power has been run to the disconnects for both it & the indoor air-handler. Hope to have the rest in place and up & running by the weekend. Sure will be nice to be able to knock the edge of this d@mn heat & most of all...the miserable humidity.

[mongocanfly]

let me know when you get it up and running and ill start moving my project down there to your airconditioned shop.....hahahaha....does look nice

Greg,

What part of ‘Bama are you in?

[mongocanfly]

[nlped]

Oh Hell! I lived up in Bremen until a few years ago! Small world!

[jwilson645]

I'm originally from Cullman and lived in Hayden until a year ago when I moved further south to Morris.

[nlped]

I lived in Morris before I moved to Cullman. LoL
