Yes, it still works. I hardly use it anymore.
The LazyBoy is long gone. It was one of those power-lift types that came from my mom's place, I got it after she passed. I had a friend that needed it for his MIL so I loaned it to him until she passed, so then just donated it to his church to give to someone that needed it.
Yes, there is a dorm style mini-fridge out of view.
I only have the one window, I did that intentionally, to make it as well insulated as possible. I got the pre-fab building from Graceland, they had full 2x4 walls on 16" centers and built solid. The double doors are not known for being well sealed, but I installed some rubber gasketing around them and they seal up fairly well. I also added a couple of layers of foam board to the inside of the doors for insulation. I wired the interior myself, and everything passed inspection. I pulled a line from my garage with 40A 240v breaker, but the wire is sized for 60A just in case. I put double gang electrical outlets on the walls at bench height, a total of 5, I wish I had installed a couple more just for convenience. I insulated the walls and ceiling - it is better insulated than my house. For the floor, I put down foam board on top of the factory floor, installed 2" square spacers as "hard points" every 16" and then put down plywood on top of that, so there is some insulation. If I were to do it again, I would have the bottom spray-foamed for better insulation, but what I did seems to work well enough. I installed a plastic vapor barrier all around, taped and sealed everywhere. The 6000btu window unit is enough to keep it cool inside, I leave it set to ECO mode so it only runs when it has to, and helps keep the summer humidity down. I have an oil-filled radiator that on the lowest setting (600w) it is enough to keep it about 35 degrees above outside ambient during the winter. It is reasonably climate controlled year round, so I have no problems with rust on any of my equipment. The guy that installed the building used hurricane tie downs, but honestly, with all the lead and brass I have in there, the floor isn't going anywhere.
You and me both. I need to go in and do some cleaning up - and get rid of stuff I'm not going to use. I tend to be a pack rat.
That goes for the space in the gun-safe, too.
Thanks for the input.. and nfo..
Probably going with Toledo Sheds
14x20..building, standard type roof.
They will build on site. Was told no site prep necessary. 16" OC, Regular door, 3 windows, may nix the electrical $299 add on, 1 switch, 6 outlets additional are $30 each, crazy.. have enuff metal boxes to do 2 houses, outlets and switches, covers, etc enuff 12/2.
Service is gonna be the biggest thing. Gonna have it built 20-30 feet from garage, garage only has 110v to it...but there's a well used for irrigation, with pump, dont know if it works or not attached to the garage side. it's on a 220v 60A circuit so was think n to use that for power. Some one cut the PVC from the well to bladder tank.
I've been quoted some "crazy" prices to run 220v 60A to the garage (sub panel) from the house main panel. $1,700-$2,500.. I know stuffs expensive but priced everything, panel, breakers, wire ( the most expensive item ) no where near that..$500-$700 for hardware and I'm unable to run it.. body says no ( xcident ). So power to it will be the biggest thing. Wiring switches / outlets would be the easy part.
Inside will be insulated, thinking drywall it, 16' bench running down back wall (20' length) 2 other benches on casters able to roll them around, looking for portable in a sense.
Was thinking of one them AC / Heat combo units but hear mixed results, have a spare "window shaker" in MD. The oil filled radiator sounds like an option. Just want to keep the temp / humidity in check.
The powders / primers will be in the house. . Brass as said in the garage..way to much weight..
Alarm system can handle the addon, have a separate computer setup for motion cameras, etc.
Yeah they offered Hurricane tie downs also, just looked at them and laughed, they asked why I was laughing...just said if everything was in the building from the garage, the only thing left standing during a hurricane would be this building.... the garage, house, neighbors house all gone...didn't volunteer anything else...
I do appreciate the input, thoughts, etc.
Just trying to get ideas together before I say
"It's a go"
