Drive was completely uneventful which was super nice. We unloaded enough when we got here to get us through the night and then there's more help arriving this morning to help us unload the rest. I should be able to grab some pics later this afternoon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ..Kev Posted September 27, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I'm shooting for another video Sunday but, no promises.. With so many things to do associated with the house there hasn't been as much shop time as I want but, happy wife happy life I think I should have most of Thursday in the shop which should allow me some editing time.. Fingers crossed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendon_t Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Can't wait to see the new space Kev and I agree with Cooper, it ain't gonna be the same without the acoustic paneling and SRV keeping watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine would be "put the camera down and put picture hangers here and sofa there"! Hard to hang pictures when we have no furniture. New house gets new furniture and most of it is being delivered today. From there, she needs my shop up and running so that I can put that frame sled to work making all new frames for the new house 58 minutes ago, Brendon_t said: Can't wait to see the new space Kev and I agree with Cooper, it ain't gonna be the same without the acoustic paneling and SRV keeping watch. It is definitely different! SRV will always be coming out of the speakers. Really fighting space in this one! Although it's only a little smaller than the other shop, the other shop was long and narrow where this one is perfectly square. I'll get it figured out.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned the room to expand the new shop, looks like that may be happening sooner than you thought. We're actually discussing building a new building rather than expanding the current ones. The wife still needs a quilting room as well so, I need to take that into account. To be honest, I think I can build another 30 x 50 for close to the same price as expanding the 2 current garages. And, we have plenty of room to do that. Regardless, I need the current shop up and running so will continue working that direction. Having the DC and Compressor in the shop rather than in another area like I did in the old shop really chews up much needed space. It will make more sense when you see the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Make a bump out for the D.C. & Compressor an early priority. It can be used for garden tools after the new building is up. Putting my compressor in a separate room has made a nice improvement for my shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably just run for a bit as it until we decide if we're building or adding. They each require a different solution for the DC stuff. Nothing really hard about a bump out but, it would go where I'm considering expanding the entire shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ..Kev Posted October 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ok, finally got the footage put together.. Depending on the work schedule, I should be able to stay on track getting these out. Still a lot of things to do in the house but, I set up one of the spare bedrooms as a quilting room for the wife so, that should afford me a little more shop time 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Kev, it is starting to look like a shop! Really like the view out the shop window and your sign. You may have mentioned this earlier, sorry if I missed, but is this a detached garage that was secondary to what is attached to the house? Do you think you will close in one of the garage doors?

Do you think you will close in one of the garage doors? There are 2 detached garages. I'll have a better idea of the actual space after I get it set up. We are considering a few options. 1. Leave just as it is, it's plenty 2. Expand out the back 15' and close off one of the roll up doors 3. Build a new 30 x 50 to house both the shop and the wife's quilting room much like the old shop. 20 minutes ago, woodbutcher said: Montana welcomes you Kev! Shops gonna look awesome! Youve got quite a few cabinets there, do you have a plan for where they are gonna go? Thanks for the welcome, we're loving it so far! All of the base cabinets have a home as most are for the miter station. The wall cabinets are a different story. If they don't hang in the shop, they'll hang in the garage for more storage in there. The wife is starting to push me a little to get the shop set up because we need some things for the house. The list is ever growing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewyo Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Thank goodness you're going to move your bench more toward the drill press! As soon as I saw it my OCD started yelling "Center it on the window, Kev! You're killing me!". Thanks for the update. Looks like things are moving along with the million and one decisions you have to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeset202 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Kev, starting to come along. Do you have 220 in your shop or do you need to install a sub-panel off your main? Won't be long and you will be making sawdust. Snow is around the corner, do you have a snowmobile and quad, you are living in the perfect playground for those toys!

No 220 yet but, the sub panel is in there so, a fairly easy add. No toys yet but, I'm sure there will be some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeset202 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Nice to have the panel in place, makes wiring so much easier, will you fish wire behind the walls or just run exterior conduit? Winters here are spectacular, I pretty much shut the shop down in the winter and go play in the snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winters here are spectacular, I pretty much shut the shop down in the winter and go play in the snow! I'll probably run exterior conduit for that plug as the walls all closed in and the run is to the other side of the shop. The shop will be heated so, I intend on working in there all winter long. I'm sure I'll still get some snow time in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Sounds like you've got a great space with lots of possibilities. Looks great so far! I've watched many of your videos and just now figured out what TIODS is.... Apparently I'm a little slow. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
