New shop ideas

[guitarwes]

I live in southeast Ga and have a 24'x48' X 12' high walls pole barn structure with 24'x24' of it enclosed with a slab and the other half open with dirt floor for my tractor/boat/junk. I'm about to enclose the entire 24'x48' of it and put a 20' lean-to on the back of it the full 48' in length. I have rolled fiberglass insulation under the roof only (which helps alot with radiant heat) and plan on getting the walls sprayed with foam and A/C installed. I don't care if the A/C costs 5x as much as the whole building, that is a main priority and I'm gonna be cool when I'm working. These humid suffocating 110-115 degree heat index days are for the birds.
I have a 10' wide roll up door on the end of one long side of the building now and plan on putting a 12' wide roll up door on the end of the newly enclosed portion for loading/unloading sheet goods directly from the back of my truck or forklift to a rolling table inside the shop.

All went good! Slab complete and the rain stayed away, Thanks Scott!

Keith I will have a total of 5200 sq feet under roof, the main shop will be 3200 with a finish room of about 280 or 12' x 24' and a equipment room the same size for noisy stuff like vac hold and air compressor and dust collector and some storage. Then I left a space outside for my tractor and such.

Steve, I do look small in that picture don't I :-)

Oh, that's my grandson giving a final inspection of the fence chairs

Congrats Tim! Thats similar to what I have in size, it might seem like a lot but its easy to fill up, lol.. Its actually a really good size shop, between 5 and 6K sq feet.

I remember how big my shop looked before I bought in all the equipment, and benches, and carts etc.

New shop completed and all inspections done, now to find the time to move the machines in
