Well yours and mine would be 3 by then and Daniels will be 8-9 months old, so I think the older kids can watch the little one! Plus Daniel should be caught back up on sleep by then so maybe some midnight boardin is in order!

Thanks Andy! I have really been enjoying checking out your new shop as well, looking good! I bet will both be making our first knives in the new shops soon!

Midnight boarding will be on! I'll have the ski jump built as well! ( I usually build a good one next to my driveway!) We were joking we should build a lift with a winch or something, my mountain makes a great ski hill! back in the day there was a ski hill on the mountain across the valley from me, also on the north face.
 
The electrical inspector was just by this morning and I am good to go!!! Now I can start finishing the building so I can move in!!! At the moment I'm actually excited that I'm going to be doing insulation/drywall, lol!

I have my epoxy coming in today hopefully. I'm using the exact same stuff I make my scales with. Floor-carta! :D
 
WooHoo!! The only thing I haven't seen on the floor plan is a mini fridge or kegerator? Where are you gonna keep all those bottles of red neck elbow grease cold in the summer?

Lol I have a small home brewery I run from time to time, I hope to set everything back up again once I have the space. I have a kegerator but I need to brew beer for it! I'm going to have it in the shop to double as a table for storage. :cool:

Don't forget to tie the walls together @ the top!

I seriously considered it but the 6' 6" ceiling would drive me nuts, I'll just have to do some snow removal when it gets bad. I might put in a high ceiling and still tie it together after that, not too sure. Lol it is stronger than my house I know that. Thanks for looking out for me brother!

I spent all day running back and forth to town, I now have all my insulation in and ready to put up!

Thanks!

How about an Amber Ale! 1# Crystal 60, 2 oz Chinook Hops, 10 pounds 2 row barley... :D

I need to find a keggle or something to boil in, I broke my last boiler. I haven't brewed in a little while, I'll take photos when I do! I keep saying I will brew up a new batch, I'm running low on home brewed beer. It takes 15 hour day to brew a batch from grain so once the new shop is set up I'll dedicate a day towards a batch!

I make up all my own recipes, that's half the fun. I used to brew gallon batches and ferment them in old Carlos Rossi wine bottles so I could try all my ideas. I got so carried away I once made my own lactobacillus culture for brewing a sour raspberry beer!

Lol I get carried away just talking about beer... :D
 
Ever do any mead? I really want to see if the local liquor store has any, and if I like it I might try brewing in the future. I am not much of a beer guy, but who knows, I might like homebrew ;).

Yes, lots of different Meads. They are fun to do and take a few years to age. They are a great way to get into brewing, you can just do honey and water or add lots of fruits and spices.
 
I have been doing tons of insulation work in the last few days...

Much appreciated! I can't wait!

I have been doing a ton (OK only maybe 1500 pounds worth :D ) of drywall in the last few days... no pics yet but I'll get some soon, it is kind of ugly, lol! That's what trim is for!
