Birthday present

[hankthebigdog]

My lovely wife and soul mate told me " you need a bigger place to work on your stuff" . So, this weekend I built an add on to my tool storage/shop to make for a bigger work area. Rain kept me from getting a roof up, but this week is spring break and I have a little time to finish it. Someday a concrete floor my appear like the pile of red iron did with a card that read "Happy Birthday"{thanks to my wife and my buddy Steve}16 X 40 ain't an acre, but at least it will be dry and I can heat it.

I think the wife is a keeper. Mine's kinda the same way, she may not be out in the garage helping but she supports what I do.

Hey Happy Birthday!
I can't give you a pile of purlins, I need them all for my addition, but I'll cheer you on. You gonn insulate it?

Looks like you got more out of the last storm than we did.

Good luck with your building project.

I plan to insulate and wood heat. I plan to finish the roof this week.walls will come soon. money is kind of tight with 3 projects going, but it will be done before cold weather.

 

[I-R-POPS]

I can relate to the tight money.
I got a wild hair and bought a new to us motorhome home that is longer than our old RV so I'm adding on to the toy barn so I don't have to winterize it.
We use our RV all year.

Do you still have the Dodge? I'm still interested.

That's going to make a difference!

Very cool! My wife just ordered us a new carport for my truck and camper. It's 18'x26'. That freed up space beside my shop that is cover right now. Now I will enclose a 15'x28' section , with a nice smooth flat concrete floor. That will be my paint, and fab area. Will be able to blow it out and wash the floors regularly . I can't wait. I was a concrete contractor for 26 years, and now run an equipment rental company. So, tools are at my exposal. Good luck with your addition.

Gonna be nice to have that extra room
I always get jealous of the people that have flat ground to build on so, I'm jealous of you now too

 

[Neverdone]

yeah if there is space you will fill it.... be careful.... I am planning on doing the same thing on mine this summer.... just moved in in the fall 30x48 and already want to add 12x48 to the side. Viscous cycle, add more room buy more stuff.

Hope you and yours are all safe and sound after the tornado.
Those things are downright scary.
How close was it to you place?

 

[hankthebigdog]

missed us by 40 miles or so. They are sure unpredictable in this area. We are all safe and sound. Thanks for asking.
