New Shop Under Way

[sdporter]

Got the panel mounted and conduit ran. Needs inspected and then I can have permanent power brought in. Getting closer.

Almost all graded out for concrete. Passed my final inspections today!!! Done with the county building department! They have been great though, I didn’t fail one inspection. I shouldn’t have but, it seems like they always find some ticky-tack thing to call you on.

That is NICE Stacey!! I bet you are looking forward to having it all done, and your Tools in it! I know i would, I need to Build a Small Shop/Garage here, I am OUT of Room! To much Junk the Wife says

Started hanging lights tonight. It’s supposed to snow 7 of the next 10 days so hopefully first week in February I can pour the floor and start moving in

Very nice.

Poured concrete floor today. Had some great help to get it down. Still have an hour or two till it gets hard enough to call done.

What temps are you dealing with during the pour/curing? Only ask because I used to run a batch plant here in sunny Kalifornia.

We poured at 37-38 got up to 52, currently 37. I have hopefully one more pass with the power trowel and it’s done! We poured at 10:30 a.m. Friday, it’s now 12:23 a.m. on Saturday. I didn’t have them put any accelerant in it cause I wasn’t sure how much help I’d have.

Starting to move in next week! I took the week off for just that purpose. I do have a roof top unit to change out on Monday, then I’m starting the move. The first things to come up will be the lathes and mill, cause they go at the back, then it’s on to the sheet metal equipment. My brake is 4000 lbs. that will be fun.
This is how my shop looks now. I can’t wait to de-clutter and have it all organized!

 

[sdporter]

Got a good start on it.

The Placement really shows how nice that shop size will be.

 

[sdporter]

It’s filling up. All the heavy stuff is in, and mostly in place. I’ll have to shift a couple things around after the last of my work benches come through the door. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it....

AWESOME Shop you have there Stacey!

 

[sdporter]

Now it’s complete, even though the garage doors won’t be here for a couple of weeks. Got the elk horns up!

The word "Envious" comes to mind. Nice well equipped shop.

 

[michiganmuzzy]

Yeah, envious is the right word.
