I finally got my shop covered. Over 500sq ft. under tin. An 8X10 tool shed attached (with A/C) and a 4X10 store room. I have probably 20ft of work counter. Three 8ft bays. Yesterday, I built me a 3ft work bench (out of 2X6's), with holes cut out for putting vertical engines on. Bolt holes drilled so I can secure an engine to it. It has a battery box and a small bottle and gas lines with a fuel filter and a shut off valve attached. Now I can test engines before I install them.
Today, I'm gonna start working on a lift. I'm trying to figure out how to make it big enough to lift either just one end, or the entire rider.
It's sort of redneck-ish. Almost all the poles I have are cedar that I cut from my property. As well as the legs of my work benches.
Hopefully, someday I'll make enough to concrete the floors. Right now, I'm just using red mulch that I get from Lowes for like $2 per bag. I still need another 10 bags to completely cover the dirt.
As it stands now, I can fit about 6 or 7 riders. The wall mounts I have set up, can hold about 6 weed eaters. And the one store room shelf is big enough for 4 chainsaws.
The back wall, is the back of my wood privacy fence. The front way is a 12X24 heavy duty tarp. I have weed eater string ran from prefabbed holes in the tarp, ran through some bolt loops at the top and then onto a reel. When I want to raise the tarp, I just real the weed eater string until the tarp is as high as I want it.
It's coming along nicely.
