It’s been a long and tough journey getting to the point I’m at.  We finally found a house in Barnstead, NH with an oversized two car garage.  We got it at a pretty good price and had some money left so I could get the garage ready for my shop.  I had some foam insulation blown in and had more outlets installed and some better lighting.  We (Amy wife and I) put up some shiplap pine for the walls.  I have all my tools here, but the shop still isn’t ready.  I’m waiting for a mini split to be installed, and still have some trim work and to roll out so my water based poly on the walls.  The mini split won’t be installed until after Thanksgiving.  I’m still experiencing other issues.  I can’t tell you how difficult this move has been, but we’re getting there....sooner or later.

 

Looks great so far!!!  

Well, I'm officially jealous 

 

Great looking space. Can't wait to see it loaded with tools and machines.

That is so awesome!

Thank you...still a ways to go.

Great news Pauley. You managed to make the move before any serious snow fell. I've never been to Barnstead itself, but I believe you're not too far from the lake Winnipesaukee area. The shop is looking great.

Al, thank you.  Yeah, not to far from all the lakes.  Maybe one day, when I get caught up I’ll try a little fishing.

Take your time, enjoy the journey.  

Looking good there! Al and me might have to schedule the next TPW, NE chapter, banquet, at a halfway point. We could make up hats and tee shirts and get real crazy!

Ha ha ha....you guys can come by anytime...just let me know.

That has the making of a beautiful shop Pauley.  More pics as work progresses!

Thanks Cal.  I will be taking some more photos soon.

I have all the walls up and have started to put some of the tools in place.  Having a guy installing some heat for me tomorrow.  Here’s some photos, but ....still a lot more to do. 
 

Those walls are so awesome!

Oh, WOW!!!

 

Love that pile of jigs there in the corner!

Thanks Lew...they certainly do come in handy.

I find I like working on the shop as much as I like the woodworking.
