new building is ordered

Post  Dave Maxwell on January 26th 2012, 10:08 am

Ordered new building last week. Can't wait for it to be complete. Project list is getting bigger. Glad people are loyal and don't mind waiting a little. Have to disinfect shop after one. Got a 69 camaro to work on. Chevy cooties

42x72x16. Would have liked bigger. Had to get a variance for this size and all could afford.

Im jealous Crying or Very sad in my develoment they only allow you a 20x20 even tho i ended up with a 24x24x10 because i went around and measured the ones that were 24x24 and made a stink about it so they said FINE then a 24x24 it is Very Happy but i wanted bigger than that.

I wanted 4000 s/f. This will have a 25x28 paint booth. Building second floor for storage and man cave. Input on paint booth size would be appreciated. The 28 side includes a prep area. Never had a booth

Dave, what kind of booth were you thinking of getting, are you looking at new or used? I don't know what your budget is but there are some good deals to be had on used booths,keep an eye out on Craigslist. This place will give you an idea of the different styles http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/paint-booths-c-959.aspx .

Thanks everyone. It has been a long time dream. Finally have enough room for my tools and get some real work done. Leave this factory crud behind me

Just remember to be a boss to yourself. I tried it for 3 years but kept giving myself the day off whenever I wanted one, had to get areal job again.

Already told myself that the forty hours a week is over. Going to do this andI my normal job for five years then hopefully this one only. Hopefully have kids and a family I won't let myself take to many days off. I catch myself doing it at current job. I hate everything about it though
