I've just read through the whole thread for the first time. Wonderful stuff, and to post it all here in such an informative and interesting way is beyond the call of duty. You, sir, have my utmost respect.

<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">well, things have been slow for a while due to trying to sell our house. We had a viewing xmas eve, on offer on the 27th and i have just made an offer on a house that has been accepted. if all goes to plan i could be setting up a new workshop soon</span></font><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">This is the 'garden' on the house we are most likely buying.

<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">so the workshop clearout continues ready for the move in a month or two (fingers crossed)</span></font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">I had a few old guitars i was not sure what to do with, either ones i was never happy with or ones that have had one mod too many.. they have already followed me through 2 workshop changes and i don't want to take them any further, nor do i want to release them to world. </div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">they now look like this</div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/temporary_zps01e00ef0.jpg</span></font><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">may have a fire later, or if i am sensible i may process them into pen blanks and sell them to a wood turner, but really I want a fire

<p>All moved in on friday, the day went very smoothly.

That looks the business @WezV, I guess you'll have plenty of room now.<div><br></div><div>Good idea about painting it out before moving your gear in. </div><div><br></div><div>Will you be doing anything with the floor? It looks to be just concrete.</div><div><br></div><div>I painted out mine with some concrete paint, stops dusting off and gives a nice surface.</div>

WezV · April 2014

it is painted already, but it could do with another coat. I will probably put down some anti fatigue mats in a few key areas too

frankus · April 2014

is it kinda creepy to say I was hoping to see photos of my street .. or just sad?<br>

goldtop · April 2014

Looks great. Are you planning to put some insulation in while you're at it? Could make winter working a lot more bearable.

<br>

WezV · April 2014

I think it will be warmer than the old workshop with a couple of small heaters. If it gets too cold in winter i will just have to work harder

i don't have the money to insulate it at the moment after the house move but will probably do it eventually

Shed envy!!

<font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">getting ready to start building again soon</span></font><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">the bench is in</div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e31/WezV/temporary_zps258a99b2.jpg</span></font><br></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="Arial, Verdana" size="2"><span style="line-height: normal;">I have decided to split the main working area with the bench in the middle. It will give me my main pottering about space down one end with an open space closer to the garage doors for larger tools and growing into. I didn't want to spread out to fill the space from day one. It also means i will get to all sides of the main bench a bit easier</span></font></div>

Howdy, Stranger!
