Beautiful, room to move around and set up a shop like it should be, not a cubby hole like many of us have where you have to leave the room to change your mind. Very nice set-up. Ha! Leaving the room to change your mind. That's funny and how true! But boy what a beautiful set up. My "shop" is a kitchen table I kind of took over and completely outgrown. I have a 12x12 shed in the back for lawn stuff I've thought converting but that's as far as I've gotten. Quote

He stated to me = "Ya got to plant a seed in order to get a tree" and that has stuck with me since ........ Tx;s guys ..... Y'know, I think I'm eligible for adoption, if you're looking for a low-maintenance addition to your family. Beautiful shop! Quote
Members Hasbeencowboy Posted June 16, 2021 Members Report Posted June 16, 2021 Wish I had your shop and you had a better one. We would both be happy. Not sure where you are located but as a retired builder, I'm thinking you may need insulation to keep your building from sweating and being hot and cold. Looking good at any rate. Quote
Members Oxbo Posted June 17, 2021 Author Members Report Posted June 17, 2021 Yep appreciate the compliments guys .... The shop has really come along nicely. "Hasbeencowboy" = I talked to him about insulating the shop when we first built it but he seemed to think it didn't need it etc. We are located in Central Florida, step across his property line and you'll be on the Deseret ranch (Mormons) = Here's a link -> https://www.florida-backroads-travel.com/deseret-ranches.html Nothing but wilderness for miles and miles. I'm hoping they'll get known locally for their leatherwork as to horse gear and such....But ...... the sky's the limit I guess....... Quote
Members Bruce H Posted June 19, 2021 Members Report Posted June 19, 2021 Nice shop!!! I'm not sure where you are located, (I'm in Illinois) take caution with a condensating ceiling...Mine sweats various times of the year. Quote

MikeRock Posted June 24, 2021 Report Posted June 24, 2021 With the gator skull and all the antlers, you could make the Florida version of the 'jackelope'.... Nice shop! God bless Quote
