The first place we bought, the house was 1200 and the shop was 1400.

The house was built in 1955, and the shop in 1990.



That didn't go over well.

Ian, my first house was 512 sq ft but my shop was 2400 sq ft. I bought the place for the 17 acres of land and the shop. The house was big enough to shower and sleep in. That's about all I needed at the time.

I will stab you in your sleep if you don't quit talking dirty to me.

I like where this section is going, 70 posts in the first couple hours here.

It was a 40X60 shop with 20 foot wide X 16 foot high doors. When I first bought it I was able to have 3 trucks and trailers inside with the doors closed. At the time I did a bunch of work on dry bulk trailers. Brake jobs, hubs, valves and anything else that needed doing. Including water blasting the inside of the trailers that had been carrying dry cement.

Over the years as my amount of equipment grew, I was only able to comfortably get one truck and trailer inside with the doors closed.

It was a wet dream of a shop.
Unfortunately times change and I sold it about 6 years ago. I gave away most of my stuff to my friends that could never afford anything. I kept some stuff and piled it all in a 10 X 25 storage unit.

Some day after I retire I'll build another one but for the time being I have to work out of a packed 2 car garage at the house.

What about all the tools on this site, where should the threads about them go?

I think they have a thread for that...

I like going to garage and estate sales just to find some older well built tools. There are amazing deals out there if you look hard enough. Now that we have a forum for the tool whores I will let you guys know about my finds. I work next weekend so probably 2 weeks and I will hit up a few more, not many garage sales this time of year but you can still find good stuff if you know where to look.

I have tools that are 5 years old or better that are in the package unopened cause i haven't used them. One is a rivet gun.
