No doubt, you have nothing in your garage yet (ha ha). Man I would have hired the ramp truck to get things moving, vs waiting for spring. Thats another 2 months, at least.
Soon to be new shop!

Yeah it's just brutally cold right now. I don't even want to think about messing with them. I mean lows in the -15 range. Highs around zero.

Wow, THAT is freaking COLD! I'm not even going to complain about the 3rd snowstorm in a week which just started. Temp is 20 degrees right now with snow which should total around 4" by the end of the work day.
I think we are at 65 today. Sorry, I just had to say it.
Can't do St Paul this summer Bob, that's not social distancing. Bahahahah
Too bad for us car guys but it really sux for their economy.

Good. Have you been?
Got room for a fab shop? Nice to keep weld and grind splatter from flinging all over when possible.
(And great storage area on top, if you make it strong enough)
Made one opening large enough to sneak my bobcat in also, just in case I get a really heavy machine.
Hung heavy grade reinforced clear vinyl on large opening, again to keep crap in.

Nope.
That's actually a great idea. Personally I'd hang a single and a large double door to keep it looking neat. You'd still have room to get your bobcat in and out. Like a double-door on a shed. If you want a really large opening, do a small overhead door. More expensive than heavy vinyl, of course, but it just looks nicer.
Just curious, if you use that garage a lot, are you considering going with insulation and sheetrock at some point?
How big is that garage? It looks like a warehouse facility.
That looks great! I don't really want to add another room. The office and bathroom already take up enough space. I can store stuff on the mezzanine above them, and definitely will.

I have been thinking about a compressor but am leaning towards a small roll around version because so much is going electric these days.
I'm a more go than show guy. The vinyl also lets natural light in, as I have 4' high clear panels running along the top
of each eave. This is early on, but it shows clear panels. Many days I don't need any lights on inside.
Did do 2" spray on insulation (don't want sheetrock), have no issue getting to 60 degrees pretty quick with
one decent size NG heater (and one small wall heater in fab room). Here is that same room today.
It's 50 X 64. I use it every day (night).
Would definitely save up for a two stage if that's not. Just seems like they run forever.
I also made PVC frames and bought some oversize welding blankets with ringed holes on edges.
Use metal shower curtain rings to hold welding blanket up as a screen. Two or 3 of them can make a temp
fab room and welding blankets holdup well to weld or grind splatter
Nice broncos
