Some of us aren't fortunate enough to have our own shop, so we have to make due with a carport.

ahhh yes base housing, I knew the first shirt on first name basis:flipoff2: and my wife was the one in the Air Force.

What I've got for a garage at the moment isn't much better than a car port. Hopefully soon I'll be back in a real shop again.

it actualy looks alot better now:) , I am in the process of cleaning it out for my next big move

[CSR]

I'm a carport wrencher. The kids run around the carport barefooted so I try to do all of my metal cutting, grinding and welding out in the back yard next to my shed.

[Priest]

One of the things that bugs the shit out of me is when people have a perfectly good garage and it's a storage space and there is no way in hell your getting a car into it. I grew up in a house without a garage and I hated it. Now that I have a garage it is probably one of the best organized rooms in the whole damn house.

dude, my rig is a 30 minute drive from where I live, and it's parked outside in a dirt (read: mud) lot.

I'd be happy with your tent.

Well, it a work in progress.. I have a lot to do in my shop still. We just moved here in the late fall, so I have not got it fully set up yet.. Oh, yea.. The car is my sister-in-law's, I am just doing a little body repair on the nose where she took out a headlight & damaged the fender..

For you carport guys, dont you worry about somone stealing your shit? I've got $$$$ tied up in tools, sure wouldnt want them to walk away!


"One of the things that bugs the shit out of me is when people have a perfectly good garage and it's a storage space and there is no way in hell your getting a car into it"

Me too, my father didnt use it for storage but there was never enough room to park a car/truck in it. Too small of a garage with too many tools/benches/lawnmowers hogging up all of the space. Spent a few days working on my car/his car in the driveway in the fuggin rain :mad:

Right now I dont have anywhere to work my POS. With my crack head neighbors I am afraid to leave my tools alone for a second. Including parts...

Currently, no, I live in a gated community with 24hr armed patrols through the neighborhood:D:D, but if I lived out in town, ya damn right I would lock my stuff up. This base is safe enough that I usually leave my keys in the Jeep, at the house and at work.

i live and work on a island(where i can't have my welder , torch,tools or truck)my truck is 45 minute ferry ride away, and the ferry does not run 24/7.

i'm lucky to get a weekend to work on my rig(if it doesn't rain, snow, or is too cold) once a month.

a carport would be nice....

and my truck doesn't fit in the garage where it's parked at anymore.

28' deep, 36' wide, and ~10' doors

Work bench and cabinets,now with A 6" vice on the bench

http://jt2p.com/remote/shop/shop-2.JPG
at the time it was partial storage to the right but its cleaned up some now, just the 85 F150 there now

http://jt2p.com/remote/shop/shop-3.JPG
View standing back, i plan to enclose face with tin this fall, leaving a man door. and possible a way to unscrew 1/3 easly to gain access for a vehicle. havne't decided.

http://jt2p.com/remote/shop/shop-4.JPG
Looking twards the house (aprox 380 feet away)

My 20A feed is also sharred with the other building (just a plug on it) but i can use it as storage :) think its about 24' by 36' or so gravel floor.



I love being so far from the house and road, and neighbors. no complaint's about the noise i make tunes or otherwise.


Upgrades i want done: (Rough costs)
Enclose building with a man door and a shop door. (just need doors)
220V 100A electrical feed (told about a grand)
Cement floor (~22 yards needed)
Insulate and heat it (33 bundles (2' centers) propane heat?)

URBNFLX, is that VCT? How durable is it in the shop? Depend on wax?


It sure is...

It's ok in the shop... I mean there are some things that you cant do on it. I always put a piece of plywood under jackstands and anything that could puncture(or leave an impression on) the tile. Welding is ok so far with a mig. the hot embers may cause burns to the wax where it hits,but when you strip the floor it cleans up ok. I did put like 10-12 coats of wax on the floor the first time I sealed it. All in all I am happy with it( it looks great). it cleans up spills nice and didnt cost as much as a pro epoxy job. If I was gonna do another shop I would have someone come in and spray the floors with an epoxy based substance.
