I had to build a base for the post that holds the "man cave" upstairs --- so couldn't just have square cut steel - out came the plasma and I did some flames! LOL -- this is what I love about having a real place to 'work'!!

Since these pictures were taken - (I have 100's - LOL) - I sold the project 36 Ford and the Project 69 Camaro... and bought a "done" 37 Ford Minotti that will get the complete re-do. I had 4 cars -- two too many to be able to WORK... spent too much time moving crap around - so now the 56 Nomad can be in the upper garage or in the trailer - and have only ONE CAR in the shed at a time..... I've also finally moved all tools and tool boxes to permanent locations - and built (in one of the pics - dark but you can see it) a huge work table.... and added some more lighting.

Funny -- I live in Seattle Washington area - and had the shed plumbed for Natual Gas.... but I also have 6" of high density insulation in the walls and roof.... sometimes now I have to open the door or roof vent (sky lights - electrically operated) because it's TOO WARM -- and I have NO HEAT... just the lights (I leave them on 24/7)....

Looking at your plat survey and grades. You commenced this very well including the landscaped tree line on the pool side to break up the majority of building back wall. Your selection of trees will not mature to the point that it will overwhelm the pool as covering. Smart thinking on the removal of land to get project lower than grade. If you didnt spend the additional cost to do that you would have spent it on larger trees. You know as well as I how much they would be a piece.
Turned out real nice.

How the Aussies do it

LOL --- Great question!!!

I have a whole "shed" (cause it ain't a shop according to my mother in law!) vacuum cleaner/air cleaner. I have a 2800 CFM Airflow Systems F90.... so think of this as 4 427's sucking thru 750 cfm Holleys at WOT...

I have it rigged up to clean the "air" and also have various inlets that I can use - to, lets say - toss inside a car (a 6" flex hose) and suck up the grinding dust... less stuff flying around is less to clean up. Mine also has a spark arrestor in it... so it can handle sparks without catching fire!

I had to switch out the motor from a 3 HP 3 phase to a 3 HP single phase. Bought this used from a local saw sharpening shop. The beauty of it is - it SUCKS - but returns the air back to the shop - it doesn't exhaust all my nice warm air outside in the winter.

Check this bad boy out!!
