As busy as we been I still have been looking for a new shop! Eagle Rd. Hmmm!

[Busted Knuckle]

Ok found an awesome place Monday near Paris Landing state park! The really cool thing is that it is @ the corner of Eagle Rd & Eagle creek Rd! It has a fenced in lot with a 60' X 100' Bldg with an attached 60 X 60 carport! It has a log home & 14 acres of fenced pasture with buffalo on it!

How cool would that be? A bus rally on Eagle rd, with real live buffalo's! Kinda like a nostalgia thing, only with 4 legged buffalo's to go along with any GMC buffalo's that showed up!

It ain't set in stone yet, because mom and dad are in VA and haven't seen it yet. But Jeannie (my sister) and I have and we love it!
We'll get mom and dad up there to look it over this weekend hopefully!

Oh and did someone mention shells in another thread? Well it was dark and the outside pics did not turn out well! But here a couple inside photos!

Oh yeah looks as though if we buy it we may have some "shells" for sale! LOL!
Muscle shells that is! That is what the bldg was formerly for was a muscle shell dealer! But when the bottom fell out and the shells weren't selling for anything anymore it went bankrupt.
I do love the security fencing they put around it to keep thieves from stealing the shells!

BK,

The construction of that building looks very similar to the shop I had before we moved except mine was only 40 x 60.
The best advice I can offer is to insulate it now, before you load it up with stuff.  That building will be like an oven in the summer and all the fans in the world won't make a lot of difference.  In addition, a heavy rain on the roof is just deafening.

I wish I had done it while under construction, didn't want to spend the extra money but doing it later after it's full of "stuff" and things mounted on the walls, get much more difficult.

Hi Bryce,

Lots of luck! It looks plenty big enough for your operation.

If you get it, I would listen to Len about the insulation. My building is also this style and I purchaced the interior liner pkg with insulation.

The whole shop stays very cool in the summer and doesn't take much to keep it warm in the winter. My ceiling and walls have the same

metal panels as the exterior and the ceiling has blown in insulation thats about 2ft deep. Also insulate the overhead doors, they are a major heat loss..

My one shop that has the bus in it is also a pole building type construction, I covered everything with white garage door panels two inches thick. Makes a nice bright shop and you can wash down if desire. makes a good tight fit, they have rubber seals between.

BK, did you get the package?  I didn't hear from  you, and UPS didn't bother to send me the tracking number like they promised.
