Workshop update.
« on: April 10, 2016, 08:59:36 pm »
Well I had a real good productive weekend.  We got a door, 2 windows and the a/c cut into the shop and installed.  Won't be long until the overhang is built and things are completed.  Trimming out the windows and door tomorrow.

Looking good Parnell.  Your yard looks like an island paradise compared to mine.  Are you insulating the work shop?
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Great building.
Looks like the doors came from a meat locker?
Do you plan on dust removal etc.?

Thanks guys.  Got the door locks in and the windows trimmed out and caulked, yesterday.  Next will be the roof over the concrete so it's nice and shady.

Clint, I'm not going to insulate it.  I am going to block it from the sun and treat the roof with a UV reflective paint that really helps out.  If I put a fan on it gets cool enough and if for when its really humid and if the bugs are out then I can turn a/c on in the evenings/night. 

Zuma, I'm not doing a dust collection system.  I'll be able to open up the cargo doors and the steel door and take a leaf blower and just blow everything out.  Good enough.  It's just a regular steel door from the superstore.

Pappy, I hear you on the grass.  To me having grass in S Florida is a ridiculous idea in the first place.  Doesn't belong here and with all of our environmental issues..runoff...Everglades, etc.  it's just silly. 

Really excited about it and looking forward to hopefully taking on some students when the outdoor overhang is done.  Be good to get some new people involved down here for some shooting partners.

That's a great Idea using a cargo container for a shop building. Gives me ideas.

Jacksonville is quite a haul.  Well, if you are ever in the neighborhood look me up.  Thanks.

Nice shop but I cannot imagine building a 4 season structure without insulation and thermal windows

Oh B.S.!  Everyone knows they have four very real seasons...early summer, mid summer, late summer, and next summer!

I always thought that the two seasons in those latitudes are hot and humid or hot and raining... ?
