My new future shop in TN!

[xalky]

I'm going to be relocating to Tennessee within the next 12 months or so. Here's the place that I will be moving my equipment into. It's 40'x60' inside plus the 10x60 porch on the front. There's a 9000lb car lift inside and a professional automotive paint mixing station that comes with it.



There's lots of junk strewn on the floor that needs to be cleaned out.







I'm pretty darn excited about moving out to the country.

Now to organize the move. It's gonna cost some money to move all my good crap 600 miles, but I'm determined to make it happen.

I'll be the first to say sweet sweet. About the size of ours. You may consider a "white room Raytheon called it" low ceilings hospitol clean Machine shop & easy to heat.
Heat is my problem. We just had to get a 250,000 btu bullet heater. 10 mins. run time gets up to 70* Then the furnace maintains it with all that iron warmed up...
enjoy Marcel !!

I've already thought about the heat situation. I think I'm going to extend the loft area out another 15 ft or so, out to where the garage door and the heater is in that second photo. Then insulate the floor/ceiling of the loft and just close in the sides with some heavy plastic for the winter months. Heck I might even air condition it for the summer too. For the immediate future, I think that plan will cut my heating costs down significantly, and it won't really cost too much to implement. The winters are are an average of 10 degrees warmer than here in CT, so that oughta help a little bit too.

Nice building. Might consider AC for the Summers. I live in the Ohio River Valley and we have Hot, Hazy, Humid Summer days sometimes. If nothing else to keep the machines stable. When I worked in Texas the shop there was one of those consistent temperature and humidity controlled buildings.

Good luck in your new location.

Welcome to Tennessee! What part are you moving to? I'm south of Nashville. And you will want a/c and some heat. I have a basement shop but still use a heater in the dead of winter.

Welcome to the great state of Tennessee. You are going to have a nice shop.

Marcel, you are killing me with the new shop... Now I want one too. But I will never be able to afford a building that nice or that large, but a man can still dream can't he? Congrats on such a great find and I hope it will be close to your regular job if you keep one of those too. I would give up both of my boys and their little purse if I could just go back to work part time for a couple of more years. But that's not gonna happen either, so no sense crying over spilled milk anymore I guess. Good luck and what king of power is available in the shop? Single or three phase 220 or what? Probably good to know in advance in case you have to get it changed for some reason. Although with RPC and electronics to change it around you wont have to worry much at all if any.

I'll be moving to Bulls Gap, TN. It's right near Greenville. Smack dab between kingsport and knoxville.

Bob, I'm self employed, I intend that to be so in TN also. It's single phase 220, I'll be bringing my 3 phase converter with me. I'll be out in the country amongst the cows and the farms.

Neat building. I'm imagining one of those perfect days when you have all our doors up, just because you can. Congratulations and best wishes.
