That's good to see! Do you have a floor plan drawing we can see?

No and I'm having a real problem with how I'm going to lay everything out. I'm pretty sure I'm going to put the lathe between the garage door and the small door so that I can put curtains around it easily to contain the shavings. Everything else is up in the air. I use the table saw a lot and it needs to be out in the middle somewhere. I would like all of my carving stuff to be located near the workbench but really don't know how I'm going to do that. I really needed to win the lottery so I could buy a couple of acres in a nice neighborhood and then build a really nice shop behind it with a building for wood and a lumber mill with storage for the tractor and 4 car garage for my new sports cars and 4x4 truck. A separate garage for my wifes car and all her stuff. And maybe a small cottage for guests and the maid and butler.

John, what company and building kit did you use for your shop?

cumberland metal buildings

They are out of sparta Tn. Amish and do a good job. I looked at metal buildings that are sent to you in a package and then you either have to assemble them yourself or pay to have someone do it. You are also in charge of getting the pad built. These guys do it all and I'm quite happy with what they did. The building is now finished except for the garage door. The have someone else install that as part of the overall price. that should happen in the next 2 days. then it's up to me to do the insulation, interior walls and electrical. This building actually comes with insulation but it's pretty thin and I opted to leave it out and have spray in foam done instead.
