New shop
I've been without a shop to work in since Jan 2022. Divorce sucks. I got started on a new one in Oct 2023 by having dirt hauled in to build up a piece of property that I own. I wanted to let it settle for a while before building on it. In April construction started on my 40 X 60. A few days ago the floor was poured. The doors should go up sometime next week. Still a lot to do, and if I'm lucky I might be able to start working in it around Dec.
I couldn't figure out how to put captions with the pictures. The first picture shows my old shop in the background with my trailer. The third picture shows my old house in the background. My son and his family live there now. My parent's house is to the left of his house. That's where I grew up. My grandkids like playing on stuff and in the dirt.

I'm putting a living area in one end. This is mostly for my new wife to have a place to hang out while I'm working on stuff. We might sell the house someday and move in here.

Looks good, Freddie.
I thought you got to keep using your old shop after the sale of the house ?

Well, that was a bummer for you. Happy for you that you were able to keep the lot next door to build your new place.
No mention of heat source. If not in the floor, are you considering an indirect, tube heater for the shop area ? I really like them, no air blowing dust, papers around and the tools/objects warm up and hold the heat much better than hot air does. I can hear it run, but it's quieter than a hanging space heater fan.

I've looked at one and I'm considering it. I need to get a HVAC guy and talk about options. Still have to get an electrician too.
