Hi Everyone
Been lurkin around here for a while ,I found it through the H.A.M.B. where I have been feeding my on-line car addiction for quite a while now.
Heres my soon to be current situation: after being "downsized" over a year ago the wife and I decided to make a move about 2500 miles away to the other side of the country to Alberta from here in Ontario,took a year and a half to purge the car parts project cars finish the house reno and get the house sold.We are gonna be renting a very rural ol farm house on 200 acres to start with,there may be an opp to buy it in the near future ,there is no shop there now,I need to do something temp to be able to work on at least one of the projects.The landlady doesnt care what I do (family friend) and as I said we may be gettin the chance to buy the place next year so I dont want to do anything that cant be "undone " till we have a legal deal to buy the place.Anyone have some ideas or thoughts on a relatively inexpensive /easy to build temp shelter? My father-in law has a large trailer of scrounged wood for me already as well the school bus I am using as my moving van could be incorporated as part of the work space? I will need to come up with some kind of heating plan as well cause its damn cold here in The Great White North in the winter months...any ideas thoughts or suggestions out here,or pictures even? I have been considering a new larger temp garage set-up but they are about 1,600 bucks and that could buy a lot of wood,,,somethin with straw bales has also crossed my mind..so lets hear any thoughts you guys have ,no matter how strange they may be!!
Thanks Guys

It is about 53 degrees F if you are deep enough into the earth - below the frost line. $1,600. seems reasonable for a structure that will withstand the elements of the North country (snow loads, etc.).
