My 1st shop, an 8' x 10' tin shed from sears.
One step above a sheet of plywood on the ground.
Just enough room for two dirtbikes.
My 2nd shop, I scrounged around for years finding all the supplies to build my 14' x 24' shop with full length carport, I tore down a bunch of old buildings/additions from a mobile home park closing down, it only cost me $ 300 total to build it, mostly for roll roofing, electrical wire & receptical boxes, spent three days just pulling nails out of boards, was totally worth it !
Fully wired, insulated and a wood stove, I could fit a 3/4 ton 4x4 inside and close the doors.
Only have a few interior shots, I covered the benches with tin from old billboard signs.
My 3rd shop is 16' x 18' built off the utility room of the house, shotgun doors are 3' and 4' wide, only 2 windows to save room on the walls for tools.
Just enough room for two bikes.
Views from the utility room.
An old retro range provides heat in the winter and keeps the house cool for summer cooking.
Redneck kitchen sink solvent tank.
Old washing machine motor runs a barrel pump and draws solvent from a beer keg.
Sandblaster sits on a bench outside next to the shop.
