Hey Rob, Everytime I see one of your posts I think of your old shop. What has become of it since you moved? Man, it must kill you not having the old shop. Have you set up a new one yet?
Rich
Well I thank you for your thoughts!
I do miss the old shop, but I take some heart from the fact that it is used on a daily basis to serve a small manufacturing business. It's not woodworking, but he uses it "hard" and has spoken several times to me on the phone in appreciation of some of the thought that went into that place.
Like I said, it helps reduce the sting...
Rob (who's next shop will be a worthy replacement for that one, though I doubt much it will have been built by so many friends and enjoyed by so many people)
Did you know that you can purchase old school portable buildings for approx $3,500 CDN up here?...25'x40', wired, lit and heated and all you need is a big truck to move them and a few blocks to stack under them. It even comes with it's own coat room. Hmmmmm.....
Rob
You know you have to out do you last shop in order to quell the stinging
Here is a idea. Take advantage of the Lake view and become the one the lucky ones who have a floating workshop. Just put some big Pontoons to float it and some solar panels for electricity and your all set !!

Don't forget to check the cost of having utility lines raised, or taken down, for the move. If the movers don't take care of that for you it could put the price way pas treasonable. Joe with such a moving project in the future
Those portable classrooms are basically small double wide trailers. They come apart in the middle and are then road ready at 12.5' x 40'. Just like any small mobile home. Shouldn't need to move any utility lines for these.

Better yet. I'm not sure if you remember "Expo 86" that was held here in Vancouver, but one of the things unique about it was the McDonalds restaurant. It was a barge...a floating barge tied to a wharf in the middle of the fair. It was affectionately named "McBarge" and after the fair it was retired. Today it sits at anchor up the inlet, abandoned. I have to admit that when I look at it the though of converting it into a residence/shop had crossed my mind... Pics:
