My Dream Shop 48x100

The only thing wrong with the shed and house combo is working on anything automotive gas fumes ,carbon monoxide, noise ETC.
Mine was originally supposed to be a pole barn. However this is my forever home and I want it built sound. The builder said he was going to spray foam it. I asked what do you do between the roof metal and spray foam. He said just house wrap so the spray foam doesn't stick to the metal. So lets say 10 to 20years later I have a roof replaced if the contractor doesn't stand on a board he will fall thru my roof with no metal. I wanted it more secure so I asked the house be covered in OSB just like a normal house. So he asked if he could just stick frame the house instead of pole barn. I said that was fine builder asked for me to cover the difference $3500. Fast forward to the banker home inspector came to do a inspection and said this is not what we agreed on. I said yep that's on me I am paying the difference. The bank inspector said this changes everything. Now its a house with metal siding. The valve of the home just increased $15-$20k for an $3500 change. I was amazed

Just so I understand....the appraisal value on the shop/property increased by 15-20k with that change? Will that affect you negatively in any other way, than maybe RE taxes?

Nice. The lathe looks right at home. Is your new to you Jet lathe a 13x39 or 14x40? We have an old Jet 12x39 at work, which is what I used to cut my teeth on back when I developed my interest in machining. Your Jet looks very similar in size to my Precision Mathews Taiwanese 13x40 lathe other than the gearbox differences, whereas mine is a Norton style gearbox.

Are you using a BXA size toolpost attachment?

Manual say its a 13x40. The gearbox is the only drawback to this one. Its a belt drive lathe instead of gear. I have a few Quick change tool post but my main one is a BXA 250 I think

I have 3 boys....they would've loved me to put a fire pole in next to the stairs, lol!

Just on the house. That was coming from the bank inspector. Now its a house no different than a house with aluminum siding.
I have already caught my son trying to slide down the railing

I think that will be a nice piece of equipment. I have the same size, 13x40 with a Dorian BXA toolpost and it has worked very well for my work envelope. I haven't really needed anything larger to accomplish what I have needed.

I think it will be a good one too. The biggest thing I turn is turbochargers parts.

Agreed. That size is perfect for many of the operations found in a motorsports shop. The only task I have run across thus far on mine where I had to remove the gap in the bed was for the several Model A flywheels that I've turned over the past several years. Other than that, I have not run across anything I couldn't easily accommodate on my 13x40.
