Im tired of life and there's only one thing to do.

Throw all my crap away.

I have two buildings. 1 is a 16x20 the other is a 10x14. I used the smaller building after I got hurt to keep tools and stuff. Years later I work out of both and store crap in both with no room for anything. There's no reason why I dont have room to pull a GT inside to work on it. Ive spent years not being able to work on things but have enough health to at least hobble out to the shop and piddle.

Inside the 16x20

Inside the smaller one. One issue here is where to do my reloading. I went back and only spend about 6 hours reloading last year. I think I can set up a mobile setup for that.

You have some great spaces there. Lot's of square footage. Some days it's hard to get into that organization mindset which is why I typically do what in between major projects as part of the cleanup

that it is but im there. Nows the time. Im excited and 1st load of lumber for the 3'x16' work bench is on order. The goal is to have that done today after work then I can start moving stuff as I clean.

I wish I had that kind of indoor work space! A wise man once told me that the more space you have the more space you have to fill with stuff! Lol

Isn't that the truth.  I finally got almost all the garage floor finally cleaned up after 5 years where I had the ability to either

A) Have room to spread out project pieces to work on,

B) Have room to put both cars in the garage during storms.

But instead C happend.  Wife's parents wanted us to take 6-7 55 gallon barrels of stuff they had picked up and stored for my wife after she moved out.  That consumed 60% of that space, plus a few other things sent over.  So I didn't have room to get the cars in during a softball sized hail event.  Pickup got minimal damage as I was able to get it in a couple minutes durning the storm after I tossed much of the stuff on top of other stuff and the workbench, I lost my car due to total loss.  

I have been able to recover about 15% of the lost space back over time.

Inside with heat is the goal. Wife and inlaw junk is part of my clutter but not that bad lol. Shelf and bench going up. Still need to do a center support.

The next one right
With some of the quality posts I've been seeing these days wouldn't suprise me from certain members...

But damn thats looking clean, there is nothing quite like the feeling of a fresh slate in a shop after months or years of barely being able to walk, I though I was the only one who had that problem but it seems everybody else does too

No rifle. I just do 45acp 9mm and 38/357. I also do shotshell. I'm tearing this bench out as well. I'm going to condense it. 90% of the stuff on that bench rairly gets used.

Spent about 300 bucks on some lumber today as I had help. Got most of the ceiling in. One step closer to having heat.

On a side note - I decided to film a short vid of some of my tools. You see all these new multi thousad tool boxes and overpriced wrenches and sockets. Wanted to show people coming to the trade a TSC box and cheaper tools make you the same money. This set of tools has made me thousands over the 20 years i turned wrench's.

@bairleafarm man I ain't got half the stuff u got man . But I have to git handmedown stuff or old rusty stuff Is most all I can git a hold of cause I don't git out and my father in law gives me most of is old tools. Is about all I can git a hold of her and when I git something new I have use a credit app to pay for my stuff just like a bill.

I prefer this to be honest. Its usually cheaper or free and most tools will clean up with a little bit of elbow grease. The old tools are usually better quality as well.

@Hillbilly mowers

Not sure if you are just cutting and pasting the previsous post, but it is pretty confusing to see what you are saying vs, what they are saying.  Please use the " button.  I'll try to clean up your post.

I'm sorry I copy an pasted it I tryed to just copy what he said to me and answer him back but when I copied and pasted it I done it all

This what I said to him on his answer and I'm new to copy an past on here cause Im trying to Figure it out as I go cause I barely know how to post pic on here

@BairleaFarm Thanks for the shop update video man. I love this kind of content from like minded gentlemen.

Me too. I love watching people who don't have their crap together. It gives me hope lol. I did however forget my snuggie and crocks.

I got 2 of the lights up and am not for sure that 4 will be enough. I had massive flouresnts (ive spelled this so bad spell check wont pick it up) but am switching to led. The ones I have installed have a decent amount of light except they broadcast shadows. Ill definitely have to investigate further when I get the other 2 up

I guess I'm the dummy

Lots on the benches to stuff go though and some stuff around the borders but floor plan is layer out and I've got heat. I'll soon have the black horse in here to get her back up and going.

@BairleaFarm So the endgame of this shop overhaul is to make a functional tractor shop?! Now I'm even more excited!
