I have never seen this much interest--and it's great!!!!!!!!! As a sentimental, guy and a Johnson (no relation) I think is is great that you could, and would rework the shop into a work of art. Most folks would have ran a dozer through it and hauled it off. Thanks for bring the old gal back to...

thanks for the good info. I have it insulated already but more is a good thing. I have located (locally) some primed OSB or unprimed particle board. If the particle bd. ever gets wet--Oh brother--you have a mess on your hands, actually on the floor. The Belhaven place is 2.5=3 hrs. away. I can...

Great pics. thanks for sharing Mike

I am still trying to get my shop in order. I have a buddy Mr. Organized, I call him. He has paint rattle cans in an on the door shoe holder. It has clear plastic so you can see just which can to choose. Now that's only part of what he organizes. I am trying to get him to join us an send some...

I ordered the metric ones on line because I went to two stores and they only had SAE size, which I bought there. Some sockets have weird holes and do not fit down all the way on the pegs, oh well, better than what I had. Mike

Thanks Rick, I'll give them a call on Monday---maybe have some luck locating Duckboard. thanks, MIke

Congrats on a useful purchase. I hope to get one this year. I had a cathedral ceiling on one bay with 16 ft. height at the center of ceiling and 9 ft. walls 8/12 pitch. I had the garage door runners lifted at roof angle to allow the door to be up in hot weather while vehicle is on the lift. Mike

I wish I could locate some Ductboard in this area, but I see from their web site there is nothing near N.C. Thanks, Mike

Hey. thanks that looks great. I like your "helping hand" that would sure make the job run better.

Thank you folks, for the information. I will install my 8 ft. 2 tube light fixtures with 2-3 inch screws, through the fixture, ceiling, and into the ceiling joist which is the bottom of the truss like Purdue SD stated he would mount fixtures.

I would opt for the new skins. You can rip Birch or knotty pine 1/4" plywood to cover the styles and rails of the cabinets and reskin or replace the doors. You can stain the new wood to match the walls, painting is somewhat easier and probable cheaper.If I were to paint, I would either use an...

At auto mech. school. we used the metal flex hose with no fan. the exhaust pressure was sufficient to push the fumes through the pipe. I can't tell you about what snowmobiles would need. but I think the inline blower is a sure cure. Don't see too many snowmobiles around this part of N.Carolina...

Thanks to all of you, for your ideas.Test Pilot, I saw your pics in a thread today,that looks great. Just did not know how much that would cost.I just retired from Lowe's and had forgotten about us having the plastic roofing materials,mostly used for small greenhouses and patios, will have to...

I am working up some figures for the shop ceiling. If I put up 4x8 panels (OSB. of plywood I naturally have to paint. One coat of oil base primer, and two coats of paint, is normally what it takes to look good. I have ck'ed with a roofing contractor about installing the roofing tin on the...

Great shop--I know why the dogs are there. They can help you wife find you in the huge space, otherwise she might be wandering around for days, looking for you. Mike:thumbup:

It priced out too high for me. plus as another G/J person pointed it is also flammable, so you need to cover it with something to make it safer to be around. Commericial kits/spray units are available but just as expensive as having a pro do the job. later, Mike

Thanks for the infor, Scotty. I want the concrete look but will need the better finish for gas and oil spills. thanks, Mike:thumbup:

Awesome shop... I love all the signs and pumps--great collection and all in a working shop. later, Mike:thumbup:

Will cut down an old console TV/radio/and 8 track unit that I bought in early 80's to go in the new shop I am working on. Have used low cost receivers and speakers in 4 corners in old shop. "GOT TO HAVE YOUR TUNES WHEN YOU ARE WORKING"--secret to a good mariage is having a good shop to retreat...

I just realized this was an old thread but awesome work. My shop looks more like the before pic but it's getting cleaned up.Wonderful job on the shop and so much character and history with you childhood--too cool later Mike
