Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Oh yeah, the lounge and dressing room is being heated and cooled regardless. Then the studio area will have the option with portable units. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop The good news is all the changes for a studio are flexible, portable, easily reversible, or have the living area in mind. The glass room can easily be converted to a bedroom and the dressing room below can be a large bathroom and walk-in closet. The major...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Finished the windows and the next step is to mount the salvaged barn door slider for the door. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop It’s going to be a while until I have a proper garage setup but I think an Atlanta meet up should be planned for the spring! Food, bonfire, and garage floor and lighting talk lol! I have a million ideas to toss around and love to hear about other peoples...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Oh nice. I’m a huge fan of the Quonset hut! ! I’ll have to check the out the next time I’m out there. One of the biggest influences on my space is P Blok in Instabul, Turkey. I haven’t been there but I’ve been admiring photos of their studio for years...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop A quick update from the weekend progress! After a further inspection of the original wood framing, and discovering 30’ of walls were attached to the steel purlins with 3 wood screws (lol), I decided to tear it all out and build a new header. It was about $70...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Yep, controlled burns seem to be a “necessary evil”. All the undergrowth helps small critters hide but it allows fires to easily spread and sometimes even kills the larger trees. Oh nice! I’ve been browsing for months at converted studio spaces and surprised I...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Thanks! It’s a straight forward process of bypassing the transformer and capacitor for the 480v setup and running a power cord directly to the socket. You can get a “universal appliance cord/extension cord” from a hardware store for $8-12+ each but my local...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Thanks! I went back and forth for months on this. Decided I didn’t want to get a construction loan and the time it would take for me to collect all the materials and built it out would render the space useless for a few years. I’d rather have an additional...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop I’ll PM you in effort to make it slightly more difficult for the internet to find me lol!

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop As suspected, something closer to what I was looking for appeared the moment I put the french doors up. At least I hadn’t painted them yet! The next day I picked up (4) 6’ wide, (2) 4’ wide, and (2) 3’ wide aluminum framed sliding doors from an early 70’s house...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Due to income restraints, the modern industrial loft plan quickly turned into a rental studio plan. Why spend money when you can make it right?! The large space is perfect for photographers and film and the existing 2-story structure inside will be made into a...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Priorities vs. Responsibilities vs. Everything Else Plan A: The initial plan was to build the hangar out into a modern industrial style loft space but it would take me many years to complete it the way I want: polished floors, mix of corrugated metal and...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop I have flown aircrafts a number of times but I’m not a pilot, yet at least. I do however love Aircraft Spruce! I didn’t even realize they had a location here until just now. Some people grew up with the JCPenny catalog but I always preferred McMaster-Carr and...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop ...continued. Got home and immediately spliced an old power cord to the E39 socket to test out this silly looking $40 light bulb. It even has a fan on the heat sink! I knew how it looked in the store with dozens of other lights on around it but how would it...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Another Craigslist score! About a month ago I picked up a load of Atlas industrial high-bay lights off the old ‘list of shade’. They were from a church that was being renovated and after a couple weeks of them trying to sell without luck, they were posted for...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Last week had highs in the 60’s and even hit 70 at one point. This week it got down into the 20’s and we had a couple inches of snow Friday. Welcome to Atlanta! Luckily I was able knock out a couple more things on the to-do list before it got cold. The first task...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Progress has been slow but steady! After pulling out all the electrical that wasn’t to code, and getting an inspection, I️ have power! Luckily for me it was just in time for the end of daylight savings time. Also spent the last couple months cutting and...

After 13 years of being jealous of everyone's setups on Garage Junkies/Garage Journal, I finally have a place to implement all the great ideas I've learned from here! History: Since the FAA doesn’t register privately owned heliports, it was a bit of a challenge to research the history on the...

My guess is loss prevention -- if they sold single sockets there's a chance they would all disappear faster than people bought them. Then again, they could always just put them in a locked case.
