[QUOTE="RJSStamps, post: 55358, member: 7242"] Nice thread here.....but everyone seems to have forgotten one of the most important things for the shop.....a FRIDGE! lol, I hate walking to house for a cold Coke! Or a snack for that matter. It's so bad I even have a hotplate and frying pan in the shop! I'm in the shop more than the house. My friends daughter thinks I live in the shop. But then the shop has 3 TV's, all my scanners so I know what the police and fire folks are doing (along with 50' tower for antenna). And yup, even the computers in the shop. The shop came about after a tornado hit my place in May of 2008. My 8x16 garage was trashed but barely standing so I built a 30x40 behind the house. lol, the shop is bigger than the house! I added half of the concrete floor last year after a truck almost fell on me when a jackstand sank in the dirt. Still need to do the other side but it's no rush. I have a woodstove in here as well for heat. No wife to deal with, just 3 PitBulls and a cat....well and a friends 3 daughters who spend most of the summer in my pool. One can tell every time I get something new in the shop, even if it's used. That kid knows more about whats in my shop and where it's at than I do! She likes to get greasy too, as proven time and time again when she goes home and mom complains about how messy she is. I just tell her “be glad she isn't a boy” ! Should have seen that girls face when she first saw the skid steer in my driveway! She jumped out of the car and jumped in and asked where the key was. She even helped change motors in it. And she has been helping rebuild my off road Jeep for the past 7 months. Anywaythe shop has been used a lot for a lot of different types of work from woodworking to making engine mounts for the skidsteer. Hopefully this coming winter there will be room to park the machine in here, but at the moment you can barely walk through the place! [/QUOTE]
