Some enhancements made to Scootopia😀 I love a hammock! Kinda hard to get any work done with it deployed. Takes less than a minute to set it up from its stored position. 2.5 Ton heatpump with electric auxillary heaters. Don't know how much I can run the heat this winter, there is not much insulation in this place, and the power bill will have to get paid somehow if I do. I had to buy very little for the HVAC system, we pieced a bunch of parts together to put it in.

I built a light framework from metal studs and laid 1.5" ductboard insulation on it to enclose the work area. Now I might be able to afford to run the heat and cool.

FrankenMech Thanks for the tip you posted about white duct tape to label things. I ordered a 3" roll of white gaffers tape, it was $13 but worth every penny! I can use it to label anything. It sticks like mad, but removes easily without leaving sticky stuff, easy to write on with a sharpie, and somehow it resists dirt and grease. I got lots of stuff that needs labeling. It is the little things that make a big difference.

Thanks! I just try to pass ideas on. My Brother in law actually passed it on to me. He used it for marking used tires he had in storage. Gaffers tape is even better than duct tape. Very nice shop setup I can sympathize about the hammock, my bed was calling me for naps all day today. My 'shop' is a horrible mess. I had to move stuff in before I could get anything organized. Now it is hell to get around everything to get anything done or organized. I was sick for a long time as well as getting older -rapidly- which made it even more difficult to get anything done.

That labelling system is going to save you so much time. 👍

Recent improvements at Scootopia. Made a home for the mini lathe, and added some extra lighting so I might be able to see what I am doing with it. I also insulated the drafty roll up door with some high tech bubble wrap. It's hard to believe I have had this place for 3 years now!
