Setting My New Shop Up (Formerly Shop Build Progress)

[member=10147]jobsworth[/member] - it’s the big bone at the back of the foot just under the ankle joint. When my son broke his ankle it was a chipped off piece of the Talus that constituted the break. The doc said that sometimes the bone fragment gets absorbed by the body over time and sometimes it moves into a position to cause pain swelling and discomfort later in life.
 
Mines is a bone spur right on the inside ankle bone on the R/H side.  The tendon runs across it and it was rubbing on the spur. The spur was long not to big but big enough to cause me a lot of pain.
 
Temp garage door installed so should be moving fairly fast now.

[member=10147]jobsworth[/member] - Just glad that you got it taken care of. Constant foot pain is the worst. I am sure that it will be great to be done with that pain! The shop looks great! Happy for you that the door guys came back quickly and got you all closed in.  So what’s left for contractor now (besides the roll up door)?
 
Just put the lights in and the outlets and Switches in and call for final.

Been a long road on this one. Dont know why it took so long originaly he told me mid Aug there were some legit delays i know but a guy around the corner built a huge looks like a 2500 sq ft house in less time it took to build this shop. But they did do a nice job.

Yea looking fwd to getting through this and being able to walk again take the dogs for a walk a even go to the mall.. Im not sure how much longer this is going to be. but Im looking fw to being through this
 
today the plumber came out and dug a shallow trench and is running a water line from the house to the chop. No photos really needed. Hes using 1" pvc piping. I will be able to add water to the shop if I want now and run a drip system for the raised garden and  shade trees I want to plant and some bushes for colors. Ill be using mainly gravel for ground cover
 
Thanks Cheese Im looking fwd to getting out of this boot and move into the shop.

Also for the help and advice on the lighting.

I already bought the lighting for the shop.

Not the office area but the shop for area.

These are what I got. I got 4 of them. The boxes are hung in the ceiling evenly in a square already.

Just got to hook them and the outdoor carriage lights that match the house.

I still gonna run more outlets in the shop maybe 4 more on the walls and 2 fixtures for fans in the ceiling and one for my air filter.

I didnt forget the the 3 220v boxes.

2ea  220v for the shop and one for the split system that Im going to add down the road.

Called for grading inspection today

I also forgot to get s light for the bump out. What Im going to use for a office. So I ordered one and it should be arriving today.

Things are moving along

Oh and my ankles feeling better, finished the last of the pain meds Dr wanted me to take 2 a day for 12 days. So Im done with them.

Yesterday I was able to walk out and have a look at the shop.

Gonna be nice.
 
Grading passed, So next is the electricians come do their thing hooking up lights outlets etc then call for final.  So the electrician is coming next week possibly Monday. Then call for inspection. Once it passes final, hook up te water line from house to shop and move in not necessarily in that order.

Oh the roll up door is 3 weeks out now.

Has no bearing on getting the cert of occupancy.

Next on to setting up the shop.

 
Electrician came yesterday hooked everything up. The lights i picked sure lit te shop up last night, came home from the dog park last night and man the inside of the shop was lit up [big grin].

Looking fwd to finally moving in and setting up.
 
Your shop is looking and sounding great! A nice bright, well lit shop is really a pleasure, you are going to really love your new space! I hope that your ankle is coming along as well. You will be churning the shop projects in no time!
 
Thanks Alan. I got to go to the foot Dr this Monday. Hopefully Ill be able to loose the boot. The sparky finished everything yesterday ad were ready for final.

Boot gone,  foots working, shops permitted started moving in today got my 3 MFTs ( not counting my Kapex MFT) and all my sustainers moved in ready to rock and roll .
 
Hi guys,

Rather then starting over and create a new thread Ill keep this one going, so everyone will be able to start from the very begining with my move here, the shop build process and now setting up a new shop.

Shops permitted, started moving in today got my Systainers and 3 MFTs etc moved in still lots more to do. Shop has a lot more room then a I ever had before. Ill take some photos tomorrow when I get the rest of the stuff moved over. Good thing my son is coming home he can help me with the heavy stuff like my roll aways and my jointer. I can pretty much handle every thing else.

 
Moved more stuff in today,

Tomorrow getting help for the rollaways and the jointer

Bought some ply gonna start making cabinets need to get stuff off the floor and outta boxes.

This first set is gonna be setting up my miter saw station. One cabinet will have a drawer bank, the others will have maybe one drawer then storage. I plan on storing my tools in sustainers set on on top of the cabinets, as Im not going to have a fence for my miter saw station only stops.

Everthing is based on the saw base anyway.

Im going to make some shelving and maybe get something to hang my wood peckers stuff on the wall.

Looks like my plans are working out.

I bought the Festool cutting table that folds up and fits under a MFT.

So I can roll it to the door of the shop back my truck up slide the ply directly from the truck to the cutting table then since its the same height as my MFT I can slide the ply once ripped to size to the MFT for cross cutting.

We'll see how it goes today

Pictures to follow

I’m temporary again going to move my “shop” to a much nicer room, albeit 1/4 of what jobsworth have - but I’ll have som other benches! It’s fabulous!
I can anticipate the feeling you have right now - the blank canvas [big grin]

Yea I have a plan Im building things mainly lower cabinets to get things put away and organized. Not installing them but building them and laying the shop out. Then Im going to add some additional outlets where needed.
Ill be about to move everything away from the walls and Then get the shop insulted, move everything back and install.
