I finally got a chance to take the digital camera out while the shop was clean to get a set of “completed” pictures of my shop. The shop is located in a 30x48x12 pole barn that was already built when we purchased our house last winter. The inside was almost totally unfinished, except for some wiring that the previous owner did, and concrete in the front 32’. The first picture shows an overall view of the barn. Sorry, it was getting dark when I took the pictures. There is a sliding door on the right side at the back that allows access to the back part of the barn, which has a dirt floor. In the future, we may move the large overhead door to where the sliding door is and put a smaller overhead door or double doors on the front with another window or two.
The second picture shows the entrance to the shop. I want to build a small porch over this area in the future to create a little display for my gas pump and shelter the door.
Next, is a view when you enter the door. We put up the wall at the back (towards the right side of the picture) to separate the back part from the front. All of the walls were insulated and covered with OSB. The ceiling is sheet metal like is commonly used on pole barns. It was a quick way to get a good, reflective ceiling and I would do it again.
Stepping towards the back and looking back at the door area, you can see my compressor, electrical panel, and a frost free hydrant the previous owner installed. I wouldn’t have done this, but I’m glad he did. I need to make a small sink that hooks up to it to give me a place to wash my hands or more easily fill a water container.
