It is. I'm a sculptor, so I do wood, ceramics, fiberglass, whatever in that space. Bikes and cars are in the garage.grcamna5 said:

A new addition to the shop.......I needed a new bench and more storage so I welded this little bastard up with 2x2 square tube, 4 lower cabinets built in, and 1/4 inch plate for the top

Love that idea, Blue is my next box set but I've had red Napa for 30 years.

These are cheapy cabinets similar to harbour freight.........I needed to keep it on the cheaper side and also keep the bench lower

That there is a nice lower cab
I used to have a snap on lower and top cab when I turned a wrench for a living but I left the trade and sold my tools to fund another avenue in life

I did too, I was faced with a newborn and had to decide on a Snap On box and tools payment or food and diapers... I went to my Brother and got the tools from him and Napa to keep going.

That is one sweet spot.
Needs work to seal it from critters, but man a fishing spot with a shop, not far from a sustainable life right theer... just need a garden some chickens and a cow. Palms say no need for heat but air will be essential.

Ya it already had electric and 220 power. It also came with a nice Miller Plasma Cutter!
Funny, I edited it from John's Island. I would've been closer had I kept it that. I miss living in Charleston. I lived on James Island. Always intend to move back.coalnation said:
Since my previous post, Reply #164, things have changed around here.
1st of April 2015 I got notice from my brother (managing partner of our parents' estate) that I needed to move my steel building which encroached on a property line that never actually existed. He found a buyer for the section of our property just behind my house, and was giving me 30 days' notice to remove the building or he would demolish it and send me the bill! I thought it was an April Fool's joke, no such luck.
Turns out only the 2 garage bays (and lean-to) were encroaching, the shop bay could stay put; still, this was going to be a chore!
Everything from the walk door to the right had to move.
I drew up plans in AutoCAD and came up with this plan:
1. Roll out 22 bikes, relocate as many as possible to the remaining garage & shop, box trailer, and boat/trailer parking area
2. Form and pour an extended concrete driveway apron in front of the existing garage
3. Hire a crew to dismantle the 2 garage bays while I disassembled the overhead doors, shelves & lighting/power
4. Purchase some new materials to replace the formerly shared inner wall between the shop and garage, as well as adding a few square feet of floor space
5. Have the crew rebuild the new garage on the new slab, in a slightly different orientation
6. Re-install the overhead doors & shelving, and install new lighting & power
7. Roll the bikes back in neatly, leaving one empty garage bay for bicycles and outdoor/play equipment "easy-in/easy-out"
It all went pretty well, and amazingly less than 10% over budget (it helps that I was a construction ops manager / estimator)
Lean-to gone (to be relocated to shop "barn door" area)
Dismantling is always the easy part...
Slab extension formed up
Concrete pour (my 5-year-old son was "somewhat" excited)
"Out with the old"
I forgot to mention, we also had to relocate our front and back yard cyclone fence...
That used to be my garage...
Relocated framework going up
Ready for sheeting
Forming up new apron and work in progress sheeting the walls, I had already done the overhead doors
All done!
The new neighbor didn't have any use for my old slab, so...
That dude earned $750 in under 2 hours.
His fearless co-pilot
Everyone back inside. NEATLY!
