Keane: You'll need a few more things in there. A small fridge ( wal*mart ) Small TV. Comfortable chairs or sofa. Maybe a nice carpet. And a ceiling. other wise all your heat will go thru the roof. After you insulation on the walls. Don't froget to do the ceiling also.

Yep rick, all walls and cieling will be insulated by the time i'm done. Gotta pick up a space heater for the winter and i was thinking about a mini fridge. No tv though since there is no cable out there.

Chris in the lionel boxes are some various toy train stuff, we used to have a setup but just didn't have the space so we took it down.

man i'd kill for a nice shed like that!

put a lil woodstove out there and you won't even need insulation, cover the walls with paneling or something, peel & stick tile on the floor, a little A/C unit for the summer and your set! add some windows & a house exterior door and it'll be really classy

Ouch that sucks. I'd recommend just hard wiring plugs in. Do two 4-plug boxes. More reliable

Did an even exchange on the power strip, maybe this one will work. making another box would mean alot more wiring and time spent out there and normal outlets arent as good since they're so close together.

Once again some more progress today, picked up a new top for the work bench as the old one was full of grease, oil, holes and had acid burns:p Picked up the space heater aswell. Only things left are to finish cleaning the placeup, mount up the workbench top. Get new lights and get insulation.

That looks like it will make a nice bench top. I would put it down with some type of construction adhesive so there are no screw holes. A finish nailer may work OK too
