Default Machine shed update

Not that it's changed a lot - but the sheetrock is taped and sanded - almost ready for painting.






Since it's a "shed" DH is running all the electrical in conduit on the walls. Will be row of outlet around the permimeter - they will be controlled by two switches (two runs) so I can turn off everything that way. Will be a ceiling fan overhead, and a row of tracklights each side, plugged in to the outlets, so they will also go on/off with the stitch.


I know the workroom takes up a lot of the space. DH and I talked about this in length, and decided it was worth going that route as the workroom is very important to both of us. The rest is just nice storage and display. We will be glad to welcome visitors by appointment, but that isn't our main reason for doing this. Some day we'd like to have more of a traveling show - and go to TOGA and other get-togethers.





This is the bench that will go in the workroom - I took this out of my Dad's woodworking shop - he got it out of my grand dad's garage (his FIL).



Here is the view of the back of the house from the Shed door.



DH is sort of working on it today - he was cleaning up his shop, and burning some stuff in the wood stove. Decided not to waste the heat so got out his crucible, and now has a pile of lead ingots . . .
