Shop office inside building4/20/2024 This will give me a lot more mounting options and do a much better job of keeping in the climate control.Īs you walk in the man door the electrical panel is in the corner to your left. In it’s place will be a 2×6 framed wall on 24” centers, insulation, and 3/4” smooth face plywood. The pegboard and tin will be removed as it doesn’t suit my needs. Then black peg board was added above that. The previous owner used old metal tin on the ceiling as well as the first few feet on the walls. There’s a lot of character already established with the shop. Inside you will see the man door and a window on the right wall, stairs to the loft and the forced air HVAC intake and exhaust on the back wall, and two high horizontal windows and an exhaust fan on the left. Between the tin and the 2×4’s is a thin membrane of some kind to act as a thermal break and also prevent condensation on the inside of the tin. These 2×4’s are what the exterior tin is screwed to. There’s a 6×6 post every 10 feet connected by five horizontal 2×4 boards. Inside it looks like a basic pole barn structure. In this article I’ll walk you through the structure and let you know the issues and my plans to renovate it for my needs. I knew going into the move that the shop wasn’t 100% perfect and needed a little bit of work. The structure itself is only 4 or 5 years old and the previous owner built it for automotive uses. There is a 10′ lean-to on one side with an above ground storm shelter dividing that space. The shop slab is 40′ x 40′ with the shop itself taking up 30′ x 40′ of that space. The house exceeded all of our criteria and the shop out back is a great foundation to renovate and turn it in to a great work shop for my needs. The new shop build out begins! My wife and I just moved and one of the criteria for the move was a bigger shop for the business.
