New Shop

[Ryan Mooney]

Just closed a week or so ago on a little 50 acre place down in the Willamette/Oregon Coast moutain foothills.

Big upgrade to the shop, well actually this is just the BIG shop, there's another 2000' machine shed and a 2000' "other" shop, and a barn..

We're using the nice one to stage the move though because it's relatively tight comparatively, the other two are just pole barns and the barn is open on 1 side and not so tight on the other three.




Woke up this morning to a full on party in the front yard.

So much space, so much jealousy, lol. Enjoy!

Can't wait to see what you do with it all!

Dream space in a dream place. Waiting for more pics to drool over.

Awesome-looking place! Congrats! And color me envious of that much shop space.

I'd be stoked too if I woke up to see a ghostly portal into another dimension in my front yard.

LOL,

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down...

Congratulations!

Just remember, we grow into our spaces. I think I grew into mine during the planning stages phase though…warning, warning!

That could indeed be bad. Although I'm not *currently* planning on taking up tractor collecting....

I’m not sure anyone ever plans on collecting, just seems to morph into that over the weeks that go by.

collecting

The difference between a collector and a hoarder is that one has enough room to nicely display all their stuff and the other one doesn't.

I have worked so long with so little in such a small space I cannot begin to imagine what I would do with a shop that size. I fear that it would be filled with stuff too good to throw away.

Continue to share pictures as you develop the space so we can vicariously participate in your new shop.

Enjoy!

I am so GREEN!

Well I have the other two shops for that… so all good I suppose....

Nice, very nice.
Now your wife can have those sheep she’s always wanted
We could set you up with some breeding stock. It’s a bit of a drive, though.

That’s a great shop.

We're also in prime blueberry country!

Put it with the rest of them Indy?

Gonna need a bigger fridge

Gonna need a bigger fridge

Alas that was all empties, that I cycle through periodically as part of the home brewing adventures. There is a short pallet of wine and interesting stuff hiding back there though.

I also stood up the new harbor freight gantry crane… all 600lbs of it. Basically jacked it up a little at a time and shoved pallets and blocks under it until I got it up a bit past level and then tied the legs back to keep it from slipping and used to come along tied back to the trailer to yank it up the rest of the way. I also had a rope hoist tied back to the top to slow the up movement so it couldn’t come all the way over on me.

The upside is that being able to yoink my powermatic 3520 a pallet up off of the bed of the trailer was like magic. The downside is that I made the mistake of building the thing in too close of proximity to grousing about how heavy the tv is and saying that’s why it’d be a bad idea to get a bigger one. To say I got side eye is a real understatement.
