Happy Day!
« on: August 28, 2015, 01:50:59 pm »
A 10 x 20 strip of floor space in our attached garage has been my "shop". The Wife today surveyed the dust/shavings that have slowly accumulated in/on all the cracks, crevices, lawn tools, storage containers, etc. 
She's a clean freak.
The words I've been waiting to hear came from her mouth, "You need a shed, dear."

HAPPY DAY!!   :)   ;D   :laugh:

At first I worked in a 5X7' corner of the garage,yellow shavings and dust were common place in the house, much to my wife's dismay.

We moved to a bigger house in the country with a basement. The basement became my shop, yellow shavings and dust migrated into the house, much to my wife's dismay.

I finally built a real shop dedicated to bow making, dust and yellow shavings clung to my clothes and still found their way into the house, much to my wife's dismay.

It is great to have a real shop but chances are wifie will still get on you for the migrating dust and shavings that find their way into the house.

A shed is not what you need.  You need a SHOP

I think a 30' x 50' shed would do him just fine Marc

Are you sure she did not say you needed to be taken behind the shed?

To Carol, the structure will likely be referred to as "the shed". To me, "heaven".   :laugh:

Now I need to get busy determining what size footprint will work and estimating a budget.
