So I "stole/$400" this unit! 16', BOTH sides, 24" deep, 72" tall. 70% of the stuff was STILL in boxes! PLUS had enough parts to build an 8' single-sided unit! I can't explain how awesome this stuff is.

So just starting with some storage until I get more of a solid plan. Picked these babies up for cheap! Out of an Office Max or the like. HIGHLY recommend if you can find some, 500lb per shelf, super adjustable and customizable. It even came with the 4 sections of "slat wall", for lack of knowing...

Essential priorities!! Now we're getting somewhere!

Experimenting with high bay lighting. 15k lumens each. Seems this will be plenty for the main area. I took this in the morning. Only real way to tell if the lights are on is to look at the floor.

Finally! Got the garage doors installed. The high-lift doors take a different operator than the standard door. Hurry up and wait some more.

Thank you Sir!

Dam$ GLenn, I aspire to have a shop as clean and pretty as yours! VERY nice!

My lights came in yesterday. This is on the top of 12' step ladder. 2 on this side, upper corners, 1 in the rear centered over the door. 15,000 lumens each should be more than enough. Also interior high bay lights came in. More pics to come.

WhoopWhoop!! We are HOT!! Now the fun begins!

Not much to look at, but we got the conduit in the ground. Now we wait...

Because I had to put the FF elevation so far above natural grade, I was concerned about the approach. 8 loads of base later, and some fancy ciphering/PBR, and my keen eyeballs. I have plenty of clearance to get the bus in through either door. In this pic the tag axle is dumped, and I have about...

Pulled the bus inside just to see how much space it was going to eat up. The space is huge until you start putting big stuff in. Gets full pretty quick. LOL! But I planned for it.

So the power pole for house electric is/was 1.5' OUTSIDE of easement. It wouldn't even be an issue, but it's right on the edge of my driveway. Half local atty, say tuff, the other half, maybe. So after a couple YEARS beating on FP&L, it went from $20k down to $5200. Now service is buried from...

Been a while since I've posted, been pretty busy with NON-Fort stuff. FINALLY got my electric service buried from the street. NOW I can get it back to the Fort! WhoopWhoop!!

I flew my drone in the big front door, thought this was cool shot. I love the upper space a lot! Fantastic natural light, no shadows.
