The Shop
When we became empty nesters and decided to retire in the charming town of Monclova in the Toledo, OH area, we downsized from our 4,000+ sq/ft, 3 floors family home to a more manageable 2,500 sq/ft one-story home. We also decided to build a new house, and I took the opportunity to finally have a dedicated workshop space. For years, my woodworking workshops were crammed into garages, competing for space with cars, tools, and bikes. Now, I have a 1300 sq/ft detached workshop next to the house – I'm thrilled to finally have my own space to let my creativity soar! In some houses, you have the "Her" and "His" closet. Us, we have a "Her house" and "His building" situation, but I am still authorized to eat and sleep in the main house, for now!
Construction
August 2019: Construction begins on my dream workshop, built in parallel with our new home!
May 2020: My workshop arrives – fully framed, roofed, and ready for me to take over! All the essential utilities were ready and waiting – a 100 Amp electrical panel to power all my tools, a Cat 6 line for staying connected, and even a toilet for those long project days! I was handed the keys to this blank canvas. With walls begging for insulation and floors waiting for finishing touches, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I've finished most of the interior myself, except for the drywall done by a contractor. While the workshop is my creative haven for woodworking, it also serves as a home for all my landscaping equipment and materials.
