Popular Post shaneymack Posted August 13, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 So we are moved in and more or less settled. We are so happy at the new place. The last few weeks has been a serious whirlwind. I've taken a few pics of the shop tear down, the shop move and now starting to setup the new shop. We got the keys a week before we moved so it gave me a chance to do some renos in the house and build a new shop floor. The new shop is a standard double garage, (20x20) not huge but doable. Here is a pic of the new space. There was a fridge and some cabinets in there that I had to get rid of. The last shop was smaller and it had the stairs and landing inside the shop which made it even smaller. The stairs and landing are in the house so i have the full 20x20 which is nice. I ran a drain for a sink before building the floor Since we were building the floor before my spray foam guy came, we put some 2" xps against the wall where the first framing member would lay. We steel studded the concrete wall so we had something to attach the plywood to after wall was spray foamed Spray foam guy came next morning My buddy ( a general contractor ) helped me with everything. He laid the shims as i went behind him gluing them in. Here are a few pics Next up we laid the advantech. All screwed of course While we were doing this my painter and my dad and bro were painting the house. They painted 18 gallons of paint in three days. It went really well. My painter had an epoxy kit leftover from painting the army base floor that he said i could have. . So it was a good few days of work. House was painted, shop floor built, built a bedroom for my son (framed, gyprocked, plastered, finishing, electrical and paint. Built him a decent closet in there as well) Changed a bunch of plumbing i wasn't happy with and my electrican came a ran a few wires that i needed. After 6 good days of work, most of them still working my day job, it was time to move the house. This was a disaster. The movers showed up at 4pm. I was freaking out. They finished at 2:30 am. Two trucks and 6 guys. The owner of the company was aware he screwed up and felt really bad so he only charged me 950$ !! I couldn't believe it. I thought it would be a couple thousand for sure. The day after moving the house, me and a few buddies moved the shop. Turns out I have a lot more stuff than i ever thought I did !! Here are a few pics I tried my best to not have a panic attack while moving all these things. I was pretty stressed out. I was in good hands cause my friend Dan that I put in charge of this part of the move,had experience doing this. He moved his shop (22000 sq ft) last year and he has massive tools compared to my little baby tools. Here are a few pics of when we arrived at the new space. I woke up a happy man the first night there. This is my view when I opened my eyes....all sugar maple ! :-) Here are a few pics of the new place. Its on a cul de sac. This neighborhood was built right in the middle of a sugarbush. Massive old sugar maples all around me. Im in heaven... This maple is huge in the front yard Back to the shop.... I got a few things done this week before my hvac gut came to start the ductwork Wood racks up Wood loaded up Got the cyclone mounted and cabinets moved Hvac guy got a few hours done and will be back Thursday to finish. I haven't been super active the last few weeks since im not woodworking. Don't want to be an armchair woodworker. I will keep you guys up to date on this. I should be up and running soon enough. My Electrician should be here on Friday. Pretty excited to have my shop back again ! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonR Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Did you end up having to shift the cabinets to the right a bit? Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is getting ridiculous, I could get $750K for my 1300 square foot home on a 6000 square foot lot. About all I would have to do is go on the front porch and yell that my house was for sale.

Mark J Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Looks great! I'm jealous. I can't believe how much work you got done in 6 days. Sounds biblical. Did you take the refrigerator out of the shop, or just move it to where it would be easier to get at the beer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's about time!!! Jelly of your wood floors. I wanted to do that with mine, but somehow never got passed the "oh, that would be nice" phase of the idea. Must be nice to have more room than last time! Fills up quick doesn't it! I went from nearly 300 to close to just under 900, and I still don't know how it's all going to fit. Not even kidding man. Really fills up fast! Seriously, congrats on the killer space! Love the nice trees you have! And yes, 12' ceilings are SO NICE!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Oh, tools? lol I still have bikes in my shop Adding a shed out back soon. There is one thing in my shop doesn't belong to the shop. One of the central vaccuum hoses. There is a closet at the top of the landing in my shop and it lives in there. I gave my wife a hard time and told her no way, that's gotta go. Since the previous owners had it in there I let it slide. Other than that, if the shed can't hold it, it lives outside. All the kids bikes stay outside. I have to defend my space like its war over here. If I'm off my guard all of a sudden there will be crap everywhere lol. They have 6000 sq ft, I have 400, I don't feel bad !! Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
