Temporary Shop

Posted in Shop on July 6th, 2010 by Jon – 2 Comments

I’ve been in my new house for a few days now, and now that I’ve made it past the initial burst of settling in activity, I turn my eyes towards my workshop.  At the moment, my tools are sitting in part of my 24×24 garage.

While this is OK for storage for now, I need to get some room to work.  We’re in the middle of a record heat wave, so I doubt I’ll be able to clean up and organize much in there at the moment.    As a temporary shop, it has convenient access to the elec panel, which is right inside the door.

And plenty of breaker space, too.

In the backyard, there’s a storage shed….

At 10×10, it is too small.

Once I get some other things out of the way, I intend to study the area’s building codes, and see just how big I could expand that to be….  At quadruple that footprint, I’d be a happy camper!
