Help Me Plan Out the New & Improved Shop

Leanna, Congrats on settling w/ the insurance company. I'm sure you and Billy will make the best of the situation at hand.

Here's a few ideas that I came up with for 'ya...

I would start by installing insulation & steetrock on all the walls. You can use Styrofoam sheeting for the overhead door too.

Seal the floor (makes cleaning much easier) and don’t use too dark a color, as you want as much light reflection as possible.

Take advantage of your wall height that is currently being wasted. Build shelves that go to the ceiling and anchor them to the wall. You can attach some metal piping to act as a curtain rod. Get some large heavy cloth painters tarps and use them as curtains with shower curtain hooks to make them slide. Covering the shelves hides clutter, as well as keeping the dust & dirt to a minimum.

They sell a wall mounted shop vac with 30 feet of hose that’s quite powerful w/ lots of attachments. I can find a link for you if you’re interested.

Wall or ceiling mounted fans strategically placed will help too. I know how hot and humid it gets there. Some type of air movement goes a long way.

The more you can utilize your overhead space, the more floor space you’ve freed up for your work areas.

Good luck my friend and looking forward to your progress :thumbup:
