1-4-2016 – I’ve been moving into my new rod building shop for the past 2 weeks.\u00a0 It’s still a mess but I’m able to get most things done.\u00a0 The first order of the day was to build a wall rack for my raw bamboo.\u00a0 I’m pretty happy with how it came out.<\/p>\n

11-23-2015 – Last week, all the sheet rock got hung in my new rod shop.\u00a0 With the cold weather and snow we’re having, I’m not expecting any work to happen this week.\u00a0 Next week, hoping for the final finish work on the walls, and possibly get the heating system installed.\u00a0 Here are a few photos:<\/p>\n

11-5-2015 – More work on the shop this past week.\u00a0 The exterior walls\u00a0were finished, the roof\/shingles\u00a0were completed, and the interior wall insulation was put in place.\u00a0 This coming week, the sheet rock guys will start their work.\u00a0 My garage is packed with stuff right now….can’t wait for the shop to get completed so I can move most of it in.<\/p>\n

10-23-2015 – More progress on my rod shop this past week.\u00a0 The roof has been covered (shingles to go on this week), the doors and windows were installed, and the exterior walls are getting finished.\u00a0 Inside, more of the electrical work was completed.\u00a0 The inside photo might not look like much yet\u00a0but I’m petty excited with how it’s shaping up.\u00a0 I’ll have one “Clean and Dry” side to the shop that is 16′ x 20′ for finish work and rod wrapping, which will include a dipping room…gotta make sure I have space for a beer fridge also!\u00a0 The Dirtier side of the shop will house all the rest of my tools and operations, as well as Mary Ann’s Drift Boat.\u00a0 The entire shop is fully insulated and will be climate controlled.<\/p>\n

10-9-2015 – This past week the electrical was run in the shop and the skylights were installed.\u00a0 And, the county finally approved the water and sewage lines so the trench could be filled in.\u00a0 So, my driveway is getting back to normal.<\/p>\n

Well, after an 8 week delay in getting inspections and permits approved, we’re finally back on track with the construction of my new rod shop. \u00a0A concrete retaining wall was pored this past week. \u00a0The remaining concrete floor will get pored this week and the framing will start.<\/p>\n

Things are pretty exciting here.\u00a0 We broke ground this week on my new bamboo rod shop.\u00a0 I’ve been stuck into several corners of the house\/garage since we moved in here\u00a0to Sisters, Oregon 8 months ago.\u00a0 I’ve been able to build rods, but I always seem to be climbing over my tools and equipment to get things done.\u00a0 So, it’s time for a new workshop.\u00a0 We’re adding a 1200 square\u00a0ft. expansion to the garage that will house my entire rod building operation, as well as our drift boat.\u00a0 Our contractor started the excavation work this week, taking out a few trees and digging down for the new foundation.\u00a0 Over the next several weeks, I’ll keep posting progress photos of my shop, so check back occasionally to see how things are going.\u00a0 Here is what things look like now:<\/p>\n
