"Steel Men, Workin' on a SHOP of steel..."
The saga started 4 years ago.
After several financial set backs and pitfalls, I am still working out of the Playpen and the building still looks like this.
Wall panels, doors, gutters, and windows. There are 10 4-0x3-0 sliders and 1 3-0x3-0 single hung window behind the OSB panel that I picked up free off C/L. I also got small window AC and a large (~2 ton) wall unit in the same deal.
The roof panels and structural frame members.
As most of you know, we lost my step father earlier this month. My sister is executress of the will and is working to close out the estate. Yesterday I got an initial check in the mail. (There may be another, smaller check for the balance of my share once everything is taken care of.) The wife already had ideas on how to spend a lot of it, including a deposit of 'play money' in her personal checking account. That got nixxed quickly.
The smart move would be to use the money to liquidate as many of our debts as possible, but...
Mother often said that I needed a proper shop for my woodworking and, thanks to her and Barney, that is going finally to happen! Suffice to say that there is enough to put the shop up the way I want it, assuming it is structurally feasable. I will open another thread to do lot of brain picking of the collective expertise assembled here.
What I want is to add a second floor that will be a combination of office space, walk in storage room, and a 'Man Cave'. Something like this.
