I like the shop . I hope you went ahead and put cureing compound on the floor after they finished power trouling the floor . I do all of our homes we build put on the carport floor as soon as its sets . it will keep the concrete looking like it was just poured and any oil or what ever gets on it wont soak in the concrete . I get mine from the concrete plant . keep up the post

Not a whole bunch has happened as of late , but I parked a couple of cars inside tonite . WooHoo ! I got it sealed last weekend and I used this
http://www.miraclecoverinc.com/
I know it won't be long and it'll get tested , oil spill who knows what else .
Heck thats what the shop is for . here are some pics
The truck is still outside for now seems I have some oil issues to look at someday , for now it'll leak outside

I am not sure if the Amazon leaks oil
but I wanted to be safe (the cardboard)

Makes my new 18x28 look tiny. Nice looking shop.

NONHOG · 03-07-2008, 11:35 AM

Actually thought about adding a toilet and sink , just more $ (that I don't have) . I don't mind adding them later if I find I really want them.
The sink would be an easy add but not sure where to put it ? If I added a toilet it would go upstairs , but as of this time I have no upstairs

Its hard enough to determine where to put my outlets !

NONHOG · 03-08-2008, 10:16 AM

More pics .........
filled in some more of the drain trench tonite,
and worked on the electrical some more
tonite it was almost 50 last night it was almost 40 Brrrrr !

NONHOG · 03-10-2008, 06:55 AM

Spent about 8 hours today hanging lights (not a fan of high places), getting ready for when my electrician comes back on Monday then Tuesday the tractor guy is coming back for more trenches . No time to chop wood

NONHOG · 03-15-2008, 09:09 AM

NONHOG · 06-13-2008, 12:07 AM

A lil work here and there mostly making messes now, did some tractor work

Heres a pic
Oh it passed ! Woo Hoo !

**Palf70Step** · 06-13-2008, 06:50 PM

Congrats On the pass. It's always good toget thru those inspections.

NONHOG · 07-23-2008, 01:05 AM

Starting to add color to the shop ! Will need to change color on the gutters
also.(what do ya think?)
Had my helper today cleaning up some of our mess we made putting in the slotcar track in the loft.
Things are coming along SLOW but sure .

BACKYARD88 · 07-23-2008, 09:13 AM

looking good man. That track is cool! I want one of those

PHOENIX · 07-23-2008, 01:48 PM

You're a lucky man. Thats a great looking shop.

No3Fan4Ever · 07-24-2008, 12:44 PM

Nice shop. Now let's get some paint on those 'guardrails'

NONHOG · 07-24-2008, 05:41 PM

Thanks for the kind words , the track is a hoot ! But needs some TLC its used and has some issues on power delivery (resistance ?) I need to take it apart piece by piece and clean each track section . Just takes time

Guard rails

must be refering to my cardboard boxes ! TEMP !

Oh I ran a HO car or two into the wall/floor in my day with a set-up like that without guardrails; seeing your boy with the track set-up brings back alot of memories.....

NONHOG · 03-06-2010, 02:35 AM

Fast forward over a year and its still not done

Now I am trying to figure how to frame up an inside wall(seems stupid since I have walls already) so I can insulate. I did not want to have any fiberglass touching metal so I added 1/2" styrofoam to the girts and then I'll frame up and add insulation if I don't start another project in between.

Check out the pictures, ideas welcome

68C15 · 03-06-2010, 08:42 AM

my only issue is you built it in the wrong spot. it should be 1547 miles to the south east. LOL

have you thought about adding more windows? I think it would save on electricity.

I thought I was only 1546.95 miles to the south east.

Maybe someday on the windows for now its not in the cards.
I did pick up a new sign for the shop today.
Also grabbed a roll up man door that I got free from work. My lucky day!

NONHOG · 11-13-2010, 02:02 AM

I have done a little more on the back wall, just been a slacker about posting anything.
