Would LOVE to have some water though! May buy a tank just to keep some to wash the GOJO off my hands! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36886-my-shop/#findComment-257873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Very nice! Lots of room to work. I love it I've almost always worked in cramped quarters or outside. That's my dream maybe someday to have a big shop. For now my little one works just fine.

fxfymn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Never missed having water in my shop; especially when I have to worry about it freezing.I assume the small rooms are for machinery such as the air compressor. Make sure the doors are big enough to get them in and out. Room for a small fork lift to get in is even better.I used wall mount overhead door openers to keep the overhead free of clutter and pre-painted OSB T-111 for the walls. The T-111 doesn't get as beat up, allows me to mount anything I want, and is removable if I want to make electrical changes down the road. At about $23.00 per sheet it was cheaper than drywall when you figure hanging, finishing and painting. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

hicrop10 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have only one problem with your shop,not having water I can handle that.But if built that I'ld have to have a space for the bed.You all know sooner or later we get ourselves in the dog house,with a dog house like you built I wouldn't mind being in the dog house.Come to think of it I'ld do more stupid things just to get sent out to the dog house.

Vladislav Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Nice to see.Although it looks to me like nobody noted another point.

yarnall Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If the drawing is to scale I could fit four more trucks in there. I bring them out next weekend.

leversole Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 I am only a tennant! The building is actually 44' by 100' with a 30' by 14' add on I am using as a wood shop...the wall separating the place was not there a week ago...someone rented half (I am lucky they did not what want it all or I would be out!) I only officially rent to the last column next to where the B modle sits...that smaller door is not mine! I have to jack the B around (15 minutes of pure work!) the corner and go out the big door! A PITA! I was hoping when he put the wall up I could get that next bay but the owner keeps a couple of cars parked in there! I am not complaining though, I have worked on stuff in the driveway/garage my whole life...this is awesome for me! Smaller rooms are 24 by 12...one is a machine shop, the other is an office and parts storage...Just this weekend I hung and wired 4 T5 light fixtures (temporary)...it is brigher than shit in here now! Still no lease so I could go at any minute! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36886-my-shop/#findComment-258210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Looks like a big roof, get one or two of the big plastic tanks and run a gutter downspout in the top. Then you just need some PVC and a small pump, did it in a barn years ago and it worked well, modern day sistern.
