Moving the workshop!!!
 

If your wife ever starts nagging about buying a bigger house, more rooms, big garden - it all may sound sweet, but guys:
It also means having to move your workshop!!![:@][:@]
That great, familiar place where you know where everything is - the smallest screw or the biggest piece of balsa...
Everything has to be packed down, taken down from the walls and out of the closets - and you can bet that there are hundreds of little things that you will
never find again!!
OK, so the new workshop will be bigger, better and with a view(!!) - but moving is NO FUN!!!! ;)
Even worse, the stupid broadband company says it will take 3-6 weeks to install a connection in my new house!![:@]

See you all in a few weeks!

Just went through this in April.... What a nightmare packing up and moving the workshop. Good news is I now have a much larger shop to fill up... Bad news, it's going to take quite a while to get things setup. New work bench, lighting, TV, Air conditioning, storage ect...
almost three months now and the progress has been slow [:o]

LOL - you think it's bad moving from one town to another ... try moving all your RC gear from one country to another, as I've done by emigrating 3 times ... all the hassle of having to figure out what chemicals or content descriptions would upset the Customs people, having to try to remove fuel vapors from all engines etc. now THAT's real fun ! :eek:

Hi all,

My new wife and I just moved to a new house 7 months ago, my workshop in my old home
was only 12'x 8' now at the new house I have a 15' x 20' shop in the back yard.
We just instaled cable Tv and propane heat. The shop is also where I have my studeo
where I make all my country song demos, the woman next door lover to sit out side
and hear me sing (ONLY WHEN MY WIFE IS THERE LOL!!!). Any way for the past
7 months I have ben dealing with cancer so the shop is where I go to get away
and work on my jet's, we all have to have a place to get away and the new shop is mine.

Regards,

Surprising how sorting out the new workshop gets moved down the list of priorities by the Mrs when you move house! ;)

Here's mine when we moved in...

My new workshop will be inside of the house in a converted storage area---Not as large as I would have liked at 10X15 feet but it sure beats the cramped corner of the garage I once had... [:@]--The main thing is that it is HEATED and AIR-CONDITIONED!!!![sm=thumbup.gif]---It can get to around zero here in a bad winter and into the low 100's on a hot summer---High tomorrow is 96 degrees with a TON of humidity...The air-conditioning will be VERY welcome...The plan is to be in the workshop---I mean home---In the early fall...:D

The new shop will have plenty of lighting, cabinetry, and a 10' long Formica topped workbench with cabinets underneath. In the center of the workbench between the two lower cabinets there will be a separate rolling cabinet that will pull out from underneath the bench so that I can get to all sides of a model and still have a flat surface to work on in the center of the shop...I'll post some pics when done...
