Last year (2008) I finally built my new workshop. I was without a workshop for a little over 2 years since my old house and shop were destroyed. So I decided to build the workshop that I never had the space to build before! Sure feels good to not be working under a carport anymore with a few portable tabletop tools on wheels.
I insulated my shop with spray foam insulation and it sure does cut down on sound. All you can hear outside when I run power tools is the frogs and cows. I installed 47 electrical outlets downstairs in hopes of never needing another extension chord. Ran 4 circuits that are 220v each, but wish I would have added another 3 or 4.
Since building my new shop I seem to spend many weekends and very late nights out there having way too much fun! My wife never complains when I walk back to the house at 3am because she knows how much my wood shop means to me. I am building a quarter sawn oak desk for her that she mentioned liking just as a little show of appreciation.
Now it is time to have some fun again!
