New Shop - 06-27-2010, 10:12 PM

I thought I had this posted here and came to update it but I guess I never posted in the first place.

Anyway, its been some long hot days but its finally getting there.

60'x64' building just after being built. Those are 12' doors, the one in the back right is for the wash bay and lift. There is also another 12' door in the back left. That area will be for the toys (dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, go carts and such). The one in the front will be the main drive in door, 4 bays on the right, 3 on the left for car storage, office and bathroom.





crappy pic of concrete going in


Insulation day (this day sucked)






Working on the drywall






This is where the wash bay will go and the 2 post lift will be in front of it


Last night we cleaned everything out and will be coating the floor with U Coat It epoxy later this week.

This is what Jesus' shop is like lol. I can't wait to see the finished product and there's doubt that you can't either. My old shop had a lift and I miss it a lot. I think it goes without saying that your gonna have one hell of a man cave.

Nice shop is an understatement!

I saw this yesterday, but had to wait until today for the drool to dry out of the keyboard to respond.

I would love to have a place like that...all that space...even half of that space.


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

Started on the U Coat It yesterday and let me tell you this is no fun at all. Almost 4000sq ft is a pain to sweep up with a shop vac. The fumes from the acid etching were killer and the bond coat was a major pain to get right. For the bond coat the floor needs to be damp and let me tell you there is a thin line from damp to wet... All in all the first coat turned out nice though.

Today comes the final coat and boy I cant wait for that to be done.

Now that's what I call a shop Looks you might be able to rent space for storage in the winter months also. Wow that's nice right there...


Steve, you had a shop like that you would really need a second shift...
