Bought my own house with shop!

Well I said I'd never live in Mississippi, but a job change and an unexpected opportunity finds me buying a place in Noxubee county... With a shop the place needs a lot of cleaning up (especially in the shop) The PO moved across the country a few years ago and has been renting the house out. So the shop is packed with his stuff, some (most) is junk but he has some tools he's going to come get, so its an ongoing cleanup project for me. Anyway here's some pics taken before I moved in.

Spent most the day yesterday with my 7yr old nephew (next door neighbors now[emoji106]) cleaning up , boxing up the POs junk and replacing it with my junk[emoji12] anyways here's a pic of the progress..

Still have a long way to go but at least I have a clear spot to work on some long neglected (due to lack of space) projects!

nice, looks like you've got enough room in there for a lift, if you want. Cool, look forward to seeing more pictures in the future with it all decked out. Congrats on the purchase, and change, hope things go smooth for ya with the job and everything.

Heart of Dixie is not that far away. Shop has a lot of potential. What is the size, wall height and stud and truss spacing? Looks like a good candidate for insulation and finished walls and ceiling. From the size of the doorway, it looks like it was used in the past for maintaining some pretty serious stuff. What are your plans?

its a 50x30 shop. the stud spacing is 3'. its already insulated this part of MS is pretty much farm country so it was probably built for farming equipment. I'd like to sheet the walls at least 8' up to protect the insulation.

Congrats Bamajoe. Any updates since last month? If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the place?
