Here are some pics from inside the shop.

This pic shows some of the cabinets I installed, I got them at an auction, brand new still in the boxes for about 1/2 of what they would cost retail

This pic show the left corner of the shop looking in from the sliding door, notice the 24” drum fan I hung in the corner, it really helps cool the shop along with the other fan I hung in the right corner as pictured in the next pic

Together, even on low these 2 fans work great to move the air in the shop lowering the temp drastically.

This pic is of the area behind the office (not finished with office yet) it shows my workbenches and clamps.

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!!!

Here are a few pics of the work so far this week )Monday & Tuesday – June 4 & 5, 2007.

These next 4 pics are the inside of the shop, the long back wall has slat board all the way across 4' off the floor for hanging jigs and things, and where I'll probably be staging most of my machines, except the table saw which will be set-up near the middle of the shop.

This last pic is from the inside looking out toward the sliding door opening and the office.

The roofer is supposed to start Saturday, should have the shingles done in a day.

Thursday morning and the rafters are already half done.

Friday morning and the guys are putting the tar paper on the roof, and the other framer is putting in the bird blocks and slats hanging at the bottom for me to nail the siding to next week. I'm on vacation next week and will working on finishing up the outside siding, insulating the inside and finishing out the inside as well, getting ready for the electrician and hanging the sliding door.

Walls??? http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/Sawhorse/blog/1109 Went back by the new shop this afternoon, May 25, 2007 and low and behold….WALLS!!! The walls are 10’ in height.

This view is the front of the shop at a slight angle, you can just see in the left corner where my office will be (man door and window) and the other opening is where the sliding 8' door will be.

This pic is of one of the sides, again you can see the office in the right hand corner, the opening in the middle is where a window will be located, there will be an identical window set in the opposite wall on the other side of the shop.
