For me a trip to the eye doctor does not help my need for more light. Age will do that to ya;-)

My Shop

Post by bobw1953 »

I have a 10x20 shed built by Cedar Built I paid about 3,600.00 for it installed on my property. I finished the inside ran electricity to it painted it and have been working in it for three years now and its been plenty of room for my projects so far. I have this JOB that keeps me out of the shop far more than I would like.

I would post a photo but cant seem to figure out how to do that.

I have a free standing building out back, it's 12 x 16 ft, but has a 10 x 12 deck attached in front. There's a set of french doors, 8ft wide in front, and I can open the shop up and roll equipment in and out. Being in hurricane country, central Florida, I also have an overhead canopy with a metal roof that folds down, fully covers the front doors, and locks in place. There is also a conventional side door.
