First tractor rolled in, today, for front axle work. Loboy with a Wagner loader. Rain tomorrow, and cold, next 2 days, so I can play in the warm shop!

Peter, it was loud, without a hailstorm. I carpeted the floor, and that reduced the noise. When i first was setting things up, if I dropped a tool, you would hear it at your house. Might hang some carpeting on a wall, to further reduce the noise, if I find it necessary.

Re: New shop, finally!
Looking great Ed !!!
Question: Did you anchor the beam just to the container roof or did you install reinforcing to mount it to?

Dave, it's anchored with half inch, GR8 carriage bolts, with 2 inch fender washers under the heads. 18 bolts. The beam is 3/8 inch thick, so stress is spread across the whole length, putting minimal load on each bolt.

Shipping containers are the Bomb.. I Love them, and wish I had another one, to keep my nicer tractors in.
I few years ago, I bought a 20 footer, and a year or so later, when the cash was available I got another 20 footer. I spaced them at the correct distance so that when I had the extra cash, I could by one of the Pre-Fab car ports and place in between them.
I covered the car port with tin, fit some used storm windows in the south end for light, and tied it down, to the shipping containers.
As money became available I made doors for the north end and put lighting in it. Still has a rock floor in it, and hope to put concrete in some day..
The only part I regret was that i did not do this with 40 footers, instead of the 20's.
