Shop Addition

[Shane Kelley]

Building onto my shop at the house. Needed a area to do body and paint work at home. Won't be painting any overalls in there since I have access to paint booths at work. Probably do some jambs and components here. I hate driving 40 minutes to the shop on weekends so that's why I'm doing this. My main shop is 30x40x10 and the new addition is 30x30x12. Would have loved to go bigger but that's all the room I have.  There will be a roll up door in between my shop and the new addition. Making some good progress but lots of work ahead of me.

Very nice! Are going to put a lift in it?  Putting a lift in my shop was the best thin I ever did.

[Cuda Cody]

Freaking awesome man!!!  I'm so happy for you.

Yes.  I'm moving this lift from my other building where I store my equipment and parts. That's the reason I went with a taller roof on the addition. It sucks having the lift in a different building working on stuff. 10 million trips back and forth for tools.

Thanks Cody! This will be nice but yours is "freaking awesome!"     I will say I don't envy having to keep yours clean.

Nice... gotta love that!

Well......  I have a little property but the money not so much. While I don't consider myself poor I definitely wouldn't say I have plenty. I work 40hrs a week to pay bills and live comfortable but not extravagant.  Building and working on cars on the side pays for my extra's like shop, tools and cars. Maybe some day I will retire from the daily grind and do it full time like you Alan. That's why I'm trying to get all my shop stuff ready and done. Like to keep my options open just in case.

You can never have enough shop. 

Mine is 80x50x14 and it's still not big enough.  I'm going to have to add another shop in the near future.

Congrats! Looks awesome! You could always put the lift in my garage, if you really want to make more room!...

In my neck of the woods just a building like that would be a quarter of a million dollars easy.....I would have to work two lifetimes to have that kind of money.
