BMWBOB’s shop

[BMWBOB]

Trying to do this on my phone.... pic wouldn’t load....
Here’s a side pic - the building is good sized: new part is 50’w X 40’ deep with a 14’ eve. There was an old machine shed 24’W X 16’ deep I foolishly decided to attach to the back of the building. In hindsight, should have demo’d The whole shebang and just added another 12’ bay.

Here’s where I’m at now on the inside: I’ve got the tallest sides insulated, sheeted up to 8’ and painted. I’m now insulating the old section which is much easier. I should be done with that this weekend. No benches or shelving yet, but will be before I fill it up with stuff - other than my motorcycles.

I’ve discovered that this is really clunky on the phone, so I’ll continue later on the pc....

Cheers
Bob

Hopefully, here's a wide angle pic of the new shop inside:
The front doors are about 13.5' tall, 14' wide opening, and slide. Unfortunately, the builder screwed up the threshold. I'll post a pic of that next post.

I'm all ears on how to fix it....

Ideas, PLEASE? Here's what I was talking about in my last post.

It is nice to have a big, open, room to work in.

Do yourself a favor and paint the walls and ceiling white while you can still get to them.
Go nuts with a spray gun.
You will thank yourself in the future.

Walls are already painted: "Walla Walla Silt Loam": I mixed all the white/bone/brown/tan colors I had together - except the red/yellow/green ones and came up with a tan that is about the same color as our local soil.

The walls above 8' are aluminized mylar roll insulation - VERY bright. I used LED lighting which is also REALLY bright. And there are six 6' skylight panels in the roof, which send an amazing amount of light through to the inside. I've never turned the lights on during the day!
