Several people asked to see some inside shots of the new shop. Here are a few before and after photos of the main shop area.
Here is one of Megan and I painting a banner for the shop. The pic is not very good(sorry) but it is a horse drawn fire truck done in 1-shot,Lt. Gray. It will have lettering done over the image.
Hope you enjoy!!!!!!

There is 2 levels, but the pictures above are the main garage area. The top 2 are how I got the place, the bottom 2 are how it looks now after alot of building stuff.
The upstairs is just open finished space about 22" wide x 60' or so long. At first I had planned to build my weeding table up there and have my main office, puter, cutter,etc. But, then I thought again, it would be nice until I had to run up and down those stairs about 250 times in a day. My knee would swell up bigger than a fire truck.
I am best all on one level, so, this summer the upstairs is being made into a play room while the kids are out of school, let them run up and down them stairs.
BTW, No I am not putting the "pole" back in......

Troy, that is one super shop. One suggestion I might make is that you add some lights to the walls of the truck drive in area. Seems like there is never quite enough light when they are only on the ceiling. Great shop!

Troy, first of all nice shop. Perfect size for just about anything. I was wondering what the board was that the banners were mounted on. How does that work. When I don banners I have a 4' x 12' table to work on but I have to hold the banner down with masking tape to keep it from moving. What is the trick to holding your banner on your board?

Wow, the space in that place! I adore ceiling height like that.
Troy, how is the building heated? Man, this shop is like another whole house! (You realize of course you'll NEVER be able to move your shop back home now, right? )
