The beauty of it all is that you get more accomplished outside than I dare dream of doing inside.

Re: Show us your shop.
Anyone know of a good site(s) where you can find diagrams, blueprints, maybe walkthroughs, etc. on building small pole sheds? I'm not seriously thinking of building one as I have a 40x100 shed at my disposal right now and am in University (therefore no funds lol), but would like to see how they are built, what goes into building one, and if you can build one by yourself with little previous experience.

Re: Show us your shop.
My operation. After i got my land -- i built my garage before i built the house because i had too many toys and was single at the time. Its a 40x30 and the ceilings are only 8' , but it has been working so far. There is a big loft above it that i reside in until i can get a house built, and i built the garage to match the house;s planned appearance too, but some day when the stars are aligned correctly, i hope to be able to do a 60' x 40' with 12' ceilings and enough room for all my projects ---- i hate to have trucks sitting outside in Oklahoma --- hail storms piss me off

Re: Show us your shop.
Here is mine. It started out as a 26'x32' pop can redemption center. We tore it down and rebuilt it and added another section to it. It is 30'x39' right now and I am planning on adding another 25'x30' section before it snows. I still need to paint it and add eavestroughs. The work is never ending. LOL These pictures were taken last winter. We tore down this building in June 09. We tore down our old chicken coupe shop on the last weekend of October 09, and were finishing up the sheet metal the last weekend of November 09 before all the major snow. We had to bust tail because we could only work on it during the weekends. We sure got lucky. LOL

Re: Show us your shop.
Here's my disaster The garage is 24 x 30 with a 10' door along with electric door closers I put out back to the 100' of slab I added to the rear after dozens of dump truck loads of back fill. Thank God for hard working helpful friends. We poured about 40 yards 5", 8", then 1' thick for the final slab. The slabs happened around two years apart and the garage was there when I bought the house. I'm in the process of selling, scraping and just cleaning up. It's amazing how fast something like this can get away from you.
That sandy looking driveway is right after we had it paved and is the front view of the shop. I love the fact it's a stand alone. I also had it wired for 100 amp service to power my welder, 80 gallon compressor, plasma cutter and two post lift. That plywood ramp on the back entrance has been replaced with a piece of diamond deck steel the width of the door and mounted to the slab. I just recently had a friend of mine install a computer on my work bench. Your shops are awesome! You younger guys have to remember we all started somewhere, I used to have a "driveway" shop also.

Re: Show us your shop.
Very nice shops! I'm trying to price a car port now so I can gain another bay to put up my 2 post in my big bay. I don't want to lose the space to the hoist, so I want to add another bay. Only problem is zoning and permits and the time frame we have with weather. So I'm thinking about adding a "portable building" on the end of my south bay. We'll see how it goes.
