Lets See Your Shop!

Nice looking shop, Terry. How long does it take your pellet stove to heat up your shop? Mine takes a while to get short sleeve warm, but it does knock the chill off quickly enough and it is really nice to stand in front of when the fan comes on. ;D It looks like the both of us have room for more toys.

I usually keep the thermostat set around 40 degrees. I turn it up and go back out twenty minutes later
by then it's a comfortable temperature.

I found some pictures I took of the finishing process.
Insulating and drywalling are not my favourite tasks.
The shop had a vaulted ceiling about fifteen feet to the peak.
A lot of wasted space to heat so I put in a lower ceiling.

Nice shop Terry! I too have a large open space, 16' at the peak, but I can't lower the ceiling. I have an 18" I beam that runs the length of the peak for my chainhoist, and I use that a lot. My walls and roof are insulated steel panels like in a walk-in cooler, so I have no windows and only a walk thru door and an 8' roll up door. Oh, and a pet door for the shop tomcat.

One thing I have found (and still need to improve) is you can never have too many lights.

Hi, Paul
Ain't it the truth, and the older you get the more light you need. I had, originally, 4- 4tube lights and have added 4- 2tube HO lights over machines.
I like that cycle lift!

Hey Jack, with all of those toolboxes, do you ever forget where you put something, or is there an organization to your madness. LOL

Welcome Kevin, nice bunch of guys here and knowledgeable to boot.

I used to stay in Tuscaloosa in April when the race was in Talledaga. Haven't done that in a while. Once made the trip from the track after the race back to the motel in Tuscaloosa in 90 minutes. Had some gal from Mississippi right on my bumper all the way back.
I'm in Pine Bluff.
Have you ever eaten the bar-b-que at the Dreamland Bar-B-Que in Tuscaloosa?
