RE: Show off your workshop!
No pics here yet. Just put the epoxy floor coating on the concrete this afternoon. I was using my wife's old grandparents house up the street, but it's an old house and it seems the back of the house has started sinking. Walking to the back of the house feels like your walking downhill. Plus having the workshop that far away limits build time as my 5 year old daughter gets bored very easily and will never let me stay longer than 30 minutes without whining me into submission. Our garage has a large enclosed storage area we use to keep our ATV's and lawnmower in, but we sold the ATV's shortly after our last child was born and it had basically just became a catch all, kinda like the junk drawer we all have in our kitchens multiplied a few million times. I'd mentioned turning it into a hangar once before, but the wife was against it.
She changed her mind after realizing the kids "large" toys (Daughters play kitchen and sons train table) could be moved out there and she could actually see the floor in the kids "in house" play room. So the kids will end up with about 20% and dad gets the rest. Going to cut in a window and add a window AC because it's Texas...and its May...and already hot. June through August is generally absolutely miserable with the heat and humidity.
The workbench/countertops will all be capped with 3/4 inch granite slabs that were once bank floor tiles (roughly 36 x 48) and weigh around 250 pounds a piece....dead flat tho. I plan on having at least the ceiling done this weekend (currently open rafters)
