Tom,
Your new shop is looking great! We are getting ready to move down to southern Indiana here in the next couple months. Will be building a new house and a shop. I would love to stop in and get a peek at your place sometime if that would be possible? I have been watching you project and really like what you have done. Would like to see it in person to get a size perspective.

Good luck on getting it finished!

You're always welcome here, we love company! I'll PM my contact info.
Tom

The new shed is awesome Tommy. It's quite the project -- and you appear to have a good handle on it now.


I don't need to tell you -- that getting that first piece of metal roofing "square" is critical. If it's off just a bit - by the time you get to the far end -- it's a big OOPS! LOL

Thanks Greg! Working on the shop is a nice change of pace from turning wrenches and we're enjoying the build. We'll be careful with the metal roofing for sure. It's tough going from a product like wood that has some give and is never perfect to start with to product like metal that is "true". Others have done it and made it look good from the ground, so I am confident we can too.

Tom, there's a caulking product called geocell will stick and seal to any clean metal surface.I used it to help seal around my wood stove chimmey gasket.

Today is going to be the first day with a temperature above 32 degrees here in KC since January 30th, and I assume that weather is headed East toward Tommy...

Still gonna take a while to melt the snowpack off here...and there though.

Tom Where is the old shop located? Is it on your property? The new shop is going to be awesome.
How do you like that Atlas lift?
