Gilby's Shop

[Gilby]

The time has come! I have an existing 5 bay pole barn that is full of stuff that isnt mine. lol It was previously my inlaws so i have no issue with them using it. I have started the process of building my own shop by adding onto the current building. I am mirroring the original shop but closing off 3 bays for my work space. Here it is so far...

Electrical will be a bit of an issue do to only a 20 amp service in the current building and not many options to upgrade. I am using LED lighting to help with the issue and purchased a 4000 watt generator to run anything else i may need down the road. The lights were purchased from Amazon. I started out with 6 8ft dual strip lamps. I am pleased so far! I have 6 more 4ft to tie in if needed.

imgur doesn't play with GJ, you need to remove the "s" from the "HTTPS" in your links.

I pondered a few different options for the concrete. I do not have easy access to a water source at the barn so i went with a water based stain. Spray, Dry, and Seal. After 3 coats of stain i was pleased. I just finished with the second coat of sealer. It may be the fumes but i am really pleased with the results. I went with the Tru-Tint from Walt Tools. Great service and fast delivery.
