All your electrical had to come out too?
Do I get this right ?
The people doing the welding did not do it according to the drawing and Knew there would be an inspection.?
How did the conversation go between the inspector and the welder. ?
Wow that was quick. Glad to see it’s up again. Finishing the inside will be a fun project. Not to the scale of your workshop, but when I did mine 1-1/4 years ago, I wad advised to install lots of electrical outlets. I did that but in hindsight I should have put in more, especially 220V outlets.Yes, all electrical had to come out.
The upside to that is all there was inside was 2 switches with lights and a plug.
This way I could get it permitted for electrical, and have the least cost involved with paying a “professional” to do it. I can build out the electrical once I finalize my layout.
So I spent most of today reinstalling all the electrical and remounting the light.

All that’s left to do is install some gutters tomorrow and I can get it signed off by the county.
Then all the real work begins… building out the interior.
I’ve drafted up a layout that I’m pretty happy with.
Hopefully I can have it signed off by mid week so I can get the epoxy floor coating down before it rains again this weekend. I was 50/50 on the flooring but decided it would be a good ideas to help keep staining the floor to a minimum.

The only thing in my shop that isn't on casters are my pedestal mounted bench grinders and 18" sanding disc. Helps with clean up and when I get a hare brained idea to "rearrange" stuff. Lots of lights and lots of lights. One more thing, lots of lights.So as soon as the county signs off (4-6 months as we move quick around here haha!) I’ll be pouring the foundation and finally getting my workshop up and running.
30x30 with 12ft walls.
So, the question is what are the things that make your work shop an enjoyable place to be??
Successful shelving??
I know for certain I will have an area with my lathe and mill set up, a bike stand (or two) to work on projects.
The back 10ft will have a loft 7ft up for general storage.
I would like to have a 10-12ft work bench on wheels that will live in the center of the shop and another work bench running 20 or so feet across one side wall.
Hit me with any and all tips or ideas??
I’ve spent the last 5 years working out of small little barns/sheds so it’s time to set it all up proper.

Something that really comes in handy are a few cord reels on the ceiling. Then no need for extension cordsThe only thing in my shop that isn't on casters are my pedestal mounted bench grinders and 18" sanding disc.

Looks awesome! Congratulations. I can foresee lots of cool projects coming out of that space!
Hoo Boy, what a nice work shop! I’ll bet you can’t wait to get in there!
I’d live to have an epoxy coated floor. Maybe this summer?
Just don't drop any small screws or washers on one, play hell finding it
