The Saw Horse Workshop - A New Begining #8: How I Spent My Vacation

« Part 7: Inside insulated - Outside Siding Going On Part 8 of The Saw Horse Workshop - A New Begining series Part 9: Pictures from inside the New Shop »

I was on vacation this past week and spent most of it working on the shop. I got a lot done, the windows are in, the siding is on and mostly trimmed, I did a little work on the inside; hanging the brackets for lumber storage, setting-up space to hang my clamps and I hung a peg board…but the most important thing was I got the sliding door hung!!!

Shop is coming along great. I wish I had more windows in mine. I work with the big door open a lot. But that doesn’t work well in mosquito weather.

Looks good.

Just make sure that you don’t do so much work on the shop that you’re too tired to get some projects done, LOL.

Karson, I bought some door opening mesh material for my old shop from the Carol Wright website, and I’ll probably do that again for this one, works great for keeping out the bugs…

Thanks miles125, WayneC, mot and surplusdealdude….

Vinny, I have to wait until the lil lady paints the inside of the house and then I get to lay the laminate flooring and put-up the trim. Got a GREAT deal on 3 1/4” base molding at the auction, paid $0.27 per foot for it, and $0.37 per foot for 4” crown molding….

My dream shop will also have a wood floor. Better on the legs and feet. Your shop looks great. Good job.

Thanks fred & Bill…my other shop had a wood floor and it was much more forgiving on my knees than concrete. I have anti-fatigue mats to go in front of both my workbenches and all my shop machines as well.

Following your progress and lending moral support. Looks like you have your hands full between the house and shop. Things appear to be moving along nicely.

Thanks for the support DocK16….I’ve been moving in tools and machines for the last week, we should be moving into the house (and shop) permanently by the end of July or the middle of August. It has rained here for the last 12 days straight and brought alot of work to a halt. Yesterday, Saturday July 7th, was the first day we didn’t get any rain.
