Multi Adding on to my shop

[Tramguage1]

Adding a 25x50 lean too on the front of my shop. Got half of it put up this weekend. When finished I will be able to put all my vehicles and toys under cover.

We need a LOT of shade here in South Texas. I don't hunt or fish, I spend all my spare time working in my home shop. I will have about 3200 square feet under roof when I'm done. A man can never have enough shop space!!!

You said that well, can never have enough shop space. I remember my first place when I moved out from my parents house, I had a 10'x16' and thought I had made the big time. Next home, I built a 18'x20' and then thought I was done forever. BUT, wife wanted to move back to her home town. Then built a 20'x28' at that house with a full length lean-to. I was set for life! Well, not really. We decided to build outside of town and then I partnered with my father and built this 92' x 44'. I hope we are done now!

Lol.. NOOOOPE!! Especially if you're partnered with your dad and he's anything like mine! Between us.. there are 2- 40x60's, a 50x72, a 24x36, a barn and a 8 unit mini storage building that's 12x60 and I'm looking to build something else here. I swear it doesn't make a bit of difference how big or how much storage you have.. it's gunna get filled up! I do like that shop of yours though!

Very nice Joey, I built mine over the last few years.only thing is I didn't have the funds to insulate it at the time. So now I'm looking into a sprayfoam type insulation.

Thanks, I do all kinds of things from vehicle repairs to handmade metal art.

The first two ate before and after refurbishing a 100+ year old elevator hand station.

Someday before I retire I would like to have a fully equipped steel fabrication shop. My next big tool addition will hopefully be an Ironworker. Then maybe CNC plasma table.also would really like to have a TIG machine and get better with that type of welding.

Got all the purlins up after work yesterday, now hopefully the sheet metal will go on tomorrow morning.

I've done lots of welding because of the body shop background have probably done 100+ full rear clips and many other steel related projects so I'm very comfortable with that but I for some reason haven't had success with aluminum. I have access to a tig and would love to figure it out for cool things. Cnc would be so cool. I too hope to someday have a couple of those things and a larger shop like you have there.

We had a little front blow through yesterday morning, it's supposed to be full sun and in mid 70's this weekend. We have some great weather here in South Texas. It's just HOT & HUMID here most of the year.

Grrrrr! 46 and rain here. Headed camping today in the crap. Snow soon.

 

[Tramguage1]

The NW is wet most of the time but I wish we had the trees and vegetation tha t yell have out that way!
Also there should be a thumbs down button on here!

 

[CumminsPusher]

Let's just say that both places have their advantages and disadvantages. I like having the seasons here but this time of year is depressing because camp season is ending. I get weird. Then it's cold and nasty so nothing gets done.

Not sure how many of you guys are married to a great overall women but I have to brag a little on mine.

Here's mine and she helping me put 25ft sheets of tin up on my shop. This lady is my best friend and wife. She's always right next to me working her butt off with me.

Thanks for the help Yaya!

Want to bring this thread back up. I know theres a bunch of us at home doing things and trying to not spend a lot of $$$$.

I have been really busy the last couple years at work. I have been just fixing/ repairing what I needed and not getting everything back like it should be.So I have been rearranging my shop and making it more useable.
I have built numerous overhead shelves from materials I already have on hand.

This stuff is my 93 yearold fathers stuff, it was on 2 shelves that were when my tool box are at in the picture.

This is a few antique items he has collected over the years. I am proud to display these items, these are things that are important to him.
