Well this is nothing like Terry's or Glen's shop but I now finally have a workplace. I put an ad on Craigslist that I was looking for a small shop to rent. This guy answered and offered me this outbuilding behind his house. I am so excited to finially have a place to work. I have been working out of storage units for too long. It is plenty big for me and he even said he doesn't care if I shoot paint in it. WHat a deal. It is about 15 miles from my house in the University area. The best thing it is only $60 per month with electric included. What a deal. I don't mean to brag I am just so happy I had to share the good news with everyone.

I can relate to that feeling Josh. Freedom to do whatever you want.
Now we get Terry to install a paint booth, sandblast station and bathroom.
Glad you sent pictures today of the building empty, 'cause in 6 months it will be full

Josh,
Good luck with the new work shop!
I hope the area is safe from prying eyes because the shed doesn't look very secure...
This is great opportunity for you because once you get your own place where you can have something like this in the back yard, you'll have the kinks worked out so you'll know what size will work(bigger is always better!), work/paint/assembly area setup, etc, etc...
Lastly, get plenty of lighting in there!

It is in an Ok neighborhood. I am going to get a good insurance policy on it just in case and I also bought a few locks for the outside. I already bought three double tube flourescent lights to light it up. Now all I need is more machines. My Dad is back from Singapore this month so I am going to the Casino with my dad and Grandpa this week so hopefully I will be lucky and be able to fill it with machines. Yeah right.
Josh

Congrat's Josh on your new shop. I have worked my butt of to get my shop and equip., Everytime I restore or sell a machine I buy more equip. and inventory. There was times I felt like my shop was a bottomless money pit, but I finially have pretty much all the equip. that I need to be self sufficient. There's nothing worse than trying to establish your business and having to rely on borrow, use or rent other peoples stuff. Your your drive you'll be sucessful.  '>
