Is it a wet saw??

PS -- Build a new shop with a smaller house -- houses are overrated.

Yes it's a wet saw.

My garage plan was ruined by a public utility access on the east side of my property. Original plan was to have a 3-car drive-thru garage with the back drive-thru portion (15x25) being shop and layout space. That would have increased the footage to just under 1200 s.f.

Congrats on the unload. That looked like fun.

Thanks.......I have further appreciation for what the Egyptians accomplished.

One thing leads to another........with the larger saw and already having a space issue every item sitting on the floor was moved and reconfigured today. I also reworked the left side which allowed me to move the car over gaining a valuable 12" in the work area. It feels spaciously cozy now.

Even if you had 100,000 square feet... the minute something "new" comes in -- everything gets re-configured. Can't tell you how many times I've done that shuffle. It can actually be fun - and forces a guy to think what's really needed or how to store stuff - or to build something to make the shop more efficient.

Isn't that the truth. The business had 15,000 s.f. and I fought maximizing lack of space issues every week.

Yesterday was definitely 8 hours of high quality shop time which I thoroughly enjoy!

I might just compound it today. Dinking around the shop with the dogs and listening/watching the Phoenix Open golf tourney sounds like a plan!
