I have just about completed my cozy little shop area.
First I wanted to thank those who helped with suggestions on the last thread I ran.
Walls are up, electrical is in, benches are secure and I actually have room for all of my stuff...sort of.
What I like is I was able to keep all of the electrical cords off the floor, installed a remote Vaccuum system, put in a swamp cooler and now have a place to plug in 22 plugs!
Installed a blower that sucks most all of the grinding dust directly out of the shop. No collection bag to catch fire! Swamp cooler blows directly across the shop longways so it helps direct the dust outside as well.
Keeps me cool Example today it was 108deg outside, inside the shop it was 85deg.
Next to come is a stationary Vac system for the rest of the stuff...Disc grinders, band saw, buffer Etc.
Whats really nice is that I can now sweep it out or vacuum it in less than a minute.
Momma is happy because now she doesn't have to look at it. She can park the car in the other half of HER garage (as she puts it) and now the mess isn't getting tracked into the house.
Best of all I can now make those late night trips to the shop Barefoot
to look at the latest design or go back to pick off that last bit of epoxy before it sets up!
Pics later this weekend.
