Default Weld's new "Shed"

Okay -- since the original post was lost in the server swap.... I'll repost this so that you guys will have reference for "before" and "after".... so here goes.


The new shop building... which was bank owned. The shop has TWO 16' high doors that are both 14' wide. Perfect for using the far right door/bay for the semi rig parking.









The main floor is 5250 square feet... so that ought to work our just fine! But it's dirty -- and lots of stuff on the walls that will be cleaned up -- and power that I can't use (480Volt 3 phase!)... So the electricians were in first - cleaning up and making safe.





















This area under the upstairs will be my new "tool area".... it has heated floors!! Sweet!! It's 14' wide and 43' long -- so plenty of room for my stuff.













This building was last used to refinish doors -- so they had big sanders and a spray refinishing area ---- EVERYWHERE was sawdust and lacquer residue... so it took a bit to clean that up. They power washed EVERY SQUARE INCH -- including the ceiling and all the truss system - and then they washed the floor 4 times!












AND then this was the upstairs "office" --- what a nasty dark horrible dump that had to be to work in!! OMG just awful!

They gutted that horrible office ---- we added a couple windows in the walls overlooking the shop -- they'll open and the exterior window to the outside will be replaced with a window that opens as well.



























The exterior wall (shop side) will get "barn wood" and a "eyebrow" shed roof over the windows made from corrugated galvanized steel.















When they put stuff back ---- I post up pictures. This IS NOT a car showroom --- it is not a "collectors" storage building.... This is a WORKING shed... the hobby to me is building and doing.... so it's not going to be done all fancy and pretty. It will be done with function over beauty... but on the other hand I'll also have some fun with portions of it.



I did acquire a couple "scale/size" appropriate signs with the new spare in mind....

I think about you every day brother and I will keep saying a prayer for you and your family.

Btw the house looks beautiful and we also have a 90 pound dress hanging from the wall in our Music room. I forgot what it's called I may ask my wife.
