Don,

Do post the pics.
You have your priorities straight...sheetrock, tape and paint don't float worth a hoot!!

Happy building,

Ken

: Oh, no, that's not so at all. You see, with lots of room to put things, it's
: always a game of "where is it?" and I spend time walking around,
: climbing up and down, looking for that thing I happen to need at the
: moment. Heck, I must put in a half-mile just walking around the boats!

: Seriously, I love my shop. I built it on the equity out of my house in town,
: when we moved out here. At 35 x 40, it's got plenty of room for storing
: lots of stuff. Thats the storage end in the pic; the working end isnt
: visible. There's another 8' behind those shelves. And I've invested a
: significant part of my disposable income over the last four years
: outfitting it. I'll put up a pic tomorrow of the other end of it if you
: want. I know I'm lucky to have it. When it first went up, I spent the
: better part of a day just sitting there looking at it. It was like a cave
: inside, with no wiring or windows. It's bigger than the house, which IMHO
: is as it should be :) In retrospect, I couldve gotten by with one half
: that size, but I'm glad I did it the way I did. Built the biggest shell I
: could afford, and outfitted it slowly. As you can see, boats are more
: important to me that sheetrock tape and paint.

: BTW, Jim Horlacher's is at least as nice. It's smaller, but better finished
: out.
