I work alone all the time until the little ones get old enough to help out. Both of them like being in the shop. The daughter even built herself her own office in the shop many years ago when I bought my wheel balancer she claimed the wooden shipping crate it came in and painted the walls and hung up pictures she drew on the inside.

Now just need to pull the trigger on a lift to really make things easier. After I raise the ceiling and put a new concrete floor in. Just too many things on the need/want list right now. The roof will need to be redone in the next few years so plan is to reframe the trusses at that time to gain the height needed at that time. Will throw up some gable walls at the front and back and be able to gain my height that way by not raising the roof line too much.

Personally, the 2-post lift was the biggest gamechanger in my shop as far as productivity and workflow. Other tools and equipment compliment it, but the lift was the piece of shop equipment that brought the biggest impact.

I can imagine that it would be Mike. I have never had a space that one would fit in so will need to keep waiting until I can redo the roof. Plus there seems to be a never ending need for other new tools so just keep chipping away at that list to make jobs easier for now. Especially since I need tools for auto repair and construction it really never seems to end. Looking into buying a dump trailer sometime this winter. Always seems to be something needed so other things get pushed back.
