OK, What Amenities do we have in our shops?
Take the poll check all that apply.
So I can see what it takes to keep up with the Joneses.

Got AC in the winter and Heat in the summer!! Don't think that is what you meant.
Got a propane heater I use in the winter, but I didn't check heating figured you meant more permanent heating. Closet thing I have to AC is opening the garage door and hoping the wind is coming from the true west (anything else and it gets blocked). Sometimes I grab a box fan and turn it on. Normally I wait for the nights to get cooler.Ric

I check marked couch, but really it's a old set of lawn furniture from the other house, basically a love seat and two chairs with cushions.
I was just thinking about that today, it's really bad having both the furniture and a TV with satelite down there, I find myself watching more TV than working, especially if Dirty Jobs is on."Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill."

Durn, forgot to include computer in the list...
why the heck did i put valet parking-because I had one extra space what should have gone to computer?
Yeah Ric, I would say AC is anything that is designed to make the air in the shop colder than the air outside.
And a heater is anything that is designed to make the shop air warmer than the air outside. So a propane heater counts, permanence aside, its more than I have...Last edited by LCHIEN; 09-23-2007, 12:49 AM.Loring in Katy, TX USA

you left out a few amenities that my shop has;
clothes washer and drier
water heater
dirt bike
3 bicycles
electric garage....oops.. I mean shop door opener
dog food container
cabinets full of household junk.
I don't have AC in my shop or house, I don't ever need it. I do have a small electric heater that takes the chill off of those frigid 45* winter days ;>)Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas EdisonComment

You of all people forgot a computer, shame on you!
(Got the cable run but don't have a computer out there YET!)
Wind blowing would only effect the heat index, Oh I guess down there that does mater a lot.
Being in Texas I can see why you don't have a heater. What, you would need it to take the chill out of the air when it gets down to 50F degrees all 3 days a year!!

I can't believe you didn't put coffee pot down!
I don't have one but I do have a coffee cup warmer and a 3 cup mug!
Also a safety/medicine cabinet box! I have that and use it too!

Well, lessee. Coffee pot for sure. I guess a 115lb German Shepherd counts as an alarm (instant justice). All kinds of fans. And for those with shops away from home, or detached a distance from the house, a change of clothes. DAMHIKT.Comment

I've got a garbage can that's pretty convenient, a bike rack, and even eee-lectricity!

Lets see...
Window A/C for the HHH days.
Pellet stove for the winter.
A radio is required backround noise.
Cordless phone for emergency or BS use.
My extra beverage refrigerator is still in the house, I should move it out there.Comment

I thought about safety first aid kit and fire extinguisher later...
But I forgot about coffee... I don't drink the stuff myself!
That's why.

wow, 22.5% have Fridges. I guess that's the next poll - what's in your shop fridge...
That's more than have plumbing, LOL.
You only have 5 steps to get your beer but 50 steps to get rid of it!
87% have radios or stereos... that's not surprising considering some of the musc discussions here.
Wow - 47% have A/C... I'm definately on the poor side of the tracks here in Houston, then...

Fridge #3 at our house could have been deployed in the shop, but we chose to put it in the garage instead which was wise in hindsight. We frequently grab a cold water when working outdoors, or hand one to someone who is over at our place and needs a refreshing drink. Not tracking through the house to get it is a win.
Fridge #4 went to my office and sits under my desk.
Fridge #5...now that would just be excessive.

Hmmmmm..... How about None of the Above? I feel deprived
I do have electricity, if a long extension cord counts. And I'll have a second floor eventually.
Evidently I need a fridge....
