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 Awesome house and nice job on getting that shop setup! I HATED our central vac, lugging that damn hose out was far more trouble than it was ever worth. I might end up using it as a bandsaw vac but for now I just took it offline and we run a normal upright vac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never go back to an upright. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Same here. Nice place. Would it be possible for you to annex a little basement space to house the dust collector, compressor, and some storage? Seems like they have way too much anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the garage is next to the yard, it may be easier to build a shed for kids bikes and stuff and carve some space for the DC and compressor.

legenddc Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Amazing what you got done in 6 days, never mind while working a full time job. You must have been running on coffee and redbull. Doesn't seem to hurt that you have some friends in the trades who can help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My jealousy knows no bounds . . . including my rather distant memory of being able to bend at the waist like that while working. I'm a squatter now in my old age. Keep those pictures coming.

Woodenskye Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 You going to keep both garage doors functional or you going to build a wall in front of 1 for more wall storage and take the tracks down? Did you insulate the floors, couldn't tell from pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you insulate the floors, couldn't tell from pictures? Both garage doors will be technically functional but the jointer will be in fronnt of one of them. I do not plan on building a wall in front. I want to have acces to it if i ever need it. The jointer is on a rolling base and moves really easily. No insulation on the concrete floor.

Cliff Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Interesting that you chose to do the wooden floor. I priced it out for mine and it came out to somewhere around $1000. (18x18, double layered 1/2" osb or plywood with insulation in between the 2x4's) I figured if I was going to spend that much, might as well tear up the old concrete floor and pour a new one. Though we'll see if I flip back the other direction on that decision. Also, that is one of the straightest maples I've ever seen. Dunno if that is common for sugar maple or not.

Though we'll see if I flip back the other direction on that decision. Also, that is one of the straightest maples I've ever seen. Dunno if that is common for sugar maple or not. I debated doing a concrete top coat. Breaking up the entire slab to repour was definitely not an option. If i went with a standard concrete the minimum pour is around 2-2.5" . I was concerned that if i ever sold this house, the next owner would want to park in the garage and that would be a problem. Would be impossible to just remove the top coat in the future due to the concrete adhesive that is rolled before the pour. The next thought was getting a truck of self leveling. I called my concrete supplier and they didnt even have it available and I gave up there because it probably would have been thousands of dollars. Then I finally came to my senses and realized I hate working on concrete and decided to build the wood floor. I love the floor now. Dead flat, nice to walk on, easier on the tools and project pieces when they drop, wasnt too expensive and was only around 4-5 hours max from start to finish not including the epoxy paint. I cant think of any reason as to why id would ever want a concrete floor again in the future.

Alan G Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 How long do those LSLs come that you framed the floor with? Was that some custom order to get + 20'? Have you ever used those to frame your houses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we bought our current home the garage floor was a mess. We had it demoed and repoured. 4" slab, 5 bag mix. The area is 19'x19' and it cost around 2500. That was the low bid and we got what we paid for. What a mess. Don't know concrete prices in your area but I think you would be hard pressed to get a new slab, 18x18 for anywhere near 1000.
