Mossy's new shop...

[Mossy]

Wardrobe/ shelves are needing another coat of paint... Not today though because it's kicking my ass to get it done... But I can string electrical through them for chargers or light or clock etc...

The pile under the wardrobe is where I have some possibilities of more shelves from the off cuts and everything else... I've got 5 hardwood pallets also...
There's 3 sheets of 1/2" ply and 2x2 piece to make a 10x10 floor for the shed... Or I can use some of it if I need to... And replace it with the shed order... I'm really wanting to finish everything inside while it's summer and I can air everything out... I might have to make shelves out of the flooring... Just to get rid of it so I can finish the porch and make room for the load of stuff that will finish everything and supply the shed... With the shed finished I can do the insulation job... And with that mess done I can put up a fence after the last dump run... Any off cuts from the fence would be firewood...
So I'm figuring out the order to do the rest of the renovation... And priority with stoppage at different times so it paces it out and makes it easier to do with less backpedaling less confusion... Less thinking about it at the moment...

Got some more hardwood pallets... For some tables after I get some chairs...

3 coats on everything... Plus the original which is the same but satin... It's been hot... It's not record breaking It's just constant... I've noticed the paint wants to dry faster... It makes it difficult when it's a skin from the can your using... So I can move on to some other projects while they dry and next week I can move them... All the paint in the other room where I installed the A/C is ready for occupancy... So I can move into there and do the A/C in the last room... The bathroom and a door is getting silicone so I won't smell the drying out process... And have a/c since those fell off a truck 3 years ago

I got an A/C room... Actually got a lot done to finish the other room and the bathroom then by that time the wardrobe will be dry enough to move in the one I just finished... The spoke threading head from Australia came... It's just getting me motivated putting that kit together... Some time in August and that's about the time I'll be deep on spokes... I've been studying... It's like I'm back to school... Doesn't seem like the same place with everything coming together...

I can't put power in the porch or it's considered living space so the weather head outlets on the trailer I can plug in and out of meet that requirement I don't have to unplug just be able to... When I build a shed in the spring it's got a GFI off the meter to plug into if it was hard wired it would be concidered an unattached garage... Build whatever you want but nobody can find fault with it your ahead of the game... I restored an out house because it was grandfathered on another property and a septic system would require a pump and purchase of more land permits etc... As a contractor I've had a lot of code experience... I can think of one place where the footings for a deck had to be moved because it wasn't as approved and it was 10k per month fine until it got fixed or the new placement was approved.... The real reason is a professional setup from the beginning is going to be worth it in the long run tools won't be struggling to get power... When I plug a 110 welder into it I'm on a dedicated breaker and 10ga is more than enough to get a consistent power... The original residential trailer wiring never was designed for the duty cycle of a welder... A few things I noticed as a welder... The transformer on the pole has an effect and the gauge wire.... Sure the lighting circuit of an old hay barn can run a welder 100's of feet from the panel for 1/2 the repair then a penny in the fuse holder for the other 1/2... Seen the old 2 wire system bare wire red hot on the insulators... Seen a lot of $hit... Seen a lot of people see this and accept it as the way dad' did it who besides being a beloved dad wasn't an electrician or knew anybody that was... My hope is somebody will see this shop thread and take away the need for a sturdy floor and roof that doesn't leak out of something you already have or can salvage... a comfortable work space is going to be a theme now that functional and affordable are covered... I might actually build another bike someday starting with a solid, leak-free roof and proper wiring makes a huge difference. I saw the same during a roof repair Long Island project, where fixing the roof first made the workspace safe and much more comfortable.

Totally agree, having a solid roof and reliable power makes a workspace safe, comfortable, and much easier to use. Doing it right from the start really pays off.
