I am in the process of redoing my little workshop. You can read part I to get caught up.
After finally getting the workshop completely empty, the primer went on
and on,
and on.
I painted two coats of primer then two coats of Wal-marts {I am on a tight budget} Colorplace Parchment. It’s extremely light gray.
If you find yourself with a paint brush in hand and a wall in front of you…read this.
Between the coats of primer and paint I had made a hair appointment to get my hair cut off. I had been growing it for the last 2 1/2 years to donate it to Locks of Love. I chose Locks of Love because they take color treated hair. My hairdresser did find gray paint in my hair along with my natural gray. Hopefully Locks of Love takes paint treated hair as well! I donated 11″ and now my hair is short, sassy…and free of paint.
I decided {since I was on a tight budget} to use up all those little cans of stain. So I emptied all the stain into one can and stirred gently. I was excited with the results. Dark with red undertones…perfect!
Now that the “shell” is complete and the paint has been cut out of my hair, it’s time to get out the floor plan.
Did I mention my cute little workshop is 6′ X 8′?
Here is the list of items I want in the workshop:
Miter Saw
Planer
Drill Press
Table Saw
Table Sander
Scroll Saw
Band Saw
Router
Variety of Hand Tools
Metal Tool Box {large on wheels}
Clamp Table
Hand Clamps
Two Work Tables
Paint storage
Wood and Molding Scraps
and a Billizion screws, nails, bolts, washers and, lions, tigers and bears, Oh My!
Below is the plan drawings {I put them together so if your print it and cut it out you can fold it up and have an inside view}.
The challenge is I love and need the floor space; so naturally I would use the vertical space. But…I love the ceiling too, so can’t have too many things high and away from the walls. Plus that stingy budget is not a help.
Spent so far out of my whopping $300 budget:
Paint and Primer $60
Loving my little workshop so far…priceless!
