WOW! We are finally moved into the new shop! Amazingly there's a place for everything, with still room to work!
It took me two long days to sort through all the plastic tubs we had stored all that good stuff in. Lots went into the dumpster however.
I still have plenty of tweaking as we grow into the place, but I think the shop is the right size for our type of work. The high ceiling is going to be a joy!
In the photos you can see the radiant heating system near the ceiling. Look close and you will see there's still no permanent lighting in place. No electricity in the building as of yet, but maybe this week...
I still have some new workbenches to build which will make the working spaces even more efficient.
But we are HOME at last!

Welding corner

And a couple of photos that didn't fit with the last post...
Staff corner (still some temporary construction stuff which has to be moved from this area)
Back of steel doors (these aren't finished yet on either side)
Still giggling here!

Ok, now that you got it done after all these years, how much ya want for it?
Just kidding
Congratulations, Dan on the shop. Although I haven't said much about it, I've been following your posts as your shop has gone from a vision to a reality. Thanks for sharing the experience and many happy years for you and your crew in the new environment.
By the way, that's what my garage/shop wants to be when it grows up Rapid
