My Shop

Techie1961 · Jan 23, 2016

Randy has seen my shop before but since he asked, I'll share my little slice of heaven. This is a barn that was built back in 1879 and has had some additions to it over the many years. We bought the place back about 5 years ago and the barn was in poor shape. Badly neglected and overgrown, stuffed full of junk and stables that were in disrepair. I spent the summer on it and got it ready for the winter. It's still a work in progress.

This shot will orient you a bit to show where the shop portion is.

And the interior of the shop portion

And the garage portion

Thanks so much guys. The firewood was going to be for the shop and the house but for now, it's just for the house. I have a woodstove in the shop but it isn't hooked up. There have been some circumstances in my life (multiple back surgeries) that have been hard on funds so everything has been done on the cheap. I didn't have the money for some class A stack for the stove so there is a small electric heater in there. It's amazing how comfortable it stays and the heater doesn't come on very often.

Why yes, yes you do. What per say is your question?

toolroom · Jan 25, 2016

My question...per se, is...must friends and family pay to visit your shop? AND, I would gather, there is so much traffic, this was a must?
I'm pleased that I live Waaaay over here in Oregon.
All kidding aside, I assume they are a spillover with the signs and lights within, Although tastefully done, I'm sure it gives guests a good think!
