Massive Shop Rearrangement

We have all heard that metal and wood working don't play well together.  To get ready for the lathe's arrival I am moving most everything.

Current
East Shop: woodworking, foundry, salon tables
South Garage: tractors, power equipment, and toys
North Garage: stained glass, metaphysical,  sheet rock and insulation

Desired:
East Shop: metal working, stained glass, store
South Garage: Woodworking
North Garage: Foundry, sheet rock and insulation
East House: salon tables

I estimate 2 weeks.  

Although less than ideal for various reasons it the best I can come up with at this time.

I may have to scrap some of the salon tables.  The north garage has a leaky roof. and not much in the way of electrical wiring.  Will have to make it work.

It would be better to have the woodshop in the North garage and the Foundry in the South Garage but I would have to move the sheetrock and other stuff stored in the north.  Still maybe the better idea.

All the salon tables are now in the east house.
All the tractors and tillers in the south garage are now in the east shop where the salon tables were.  These will be moved to the main shop area when things settle down.
Next I need to finish getting the engines and stuff out of the south garage and into the shop.  Then I need to move the  sheetrock and other stuff stored in the north garage into the south garage.  Oh Joy!

Sunday

Moved 81 sheets of drywall from the north to south garage. Screwed a 2x6 to a 2 foot strip of plywood to make a support   3 large c clamps on the front edge of the loader keep the support from sliding off.

Tuesday

Cleaned most of the rest of the stuff out of the north garage.  Laundered some clothes stored there.

Wednesday

Moving tractors and equipment from east shop back to south garage.   Seems I have more room in the south garage then envisioned.  Thinking the road roller may go into the east shop so I can get it back to working.   Should be room in the south garage for the backhoe.

Moved a bit less than 1/2 of the contents of the garage office to the east shop.  Much of this stuff is not related the mmetaphysical display and can be chucked or moved to the south house.

Took a wall off the garage office leaving the short wall with the door.   The long table from the east shop fits nicely in the office bay.  The wood lath goes along the outside of the remaining wall.

So far the table saw, jointer and wood lathe have been moved.  There is a wagon load of misc ready to be moved into the garage.
