It probably will. I still enjoyed winters better in Gunnison than in the mid-west. The humidity just makes the cold unbearable. Hopefully wind and humidity aren't a problem in Minot, THAT could be a problem.

From what I understand wind chill is the major factor to the cold here. Humidity is fairly low, which I also much prefer!

Just a few last things to do and I can really get to work on my trucks.
They are moved in out of the weather.

Added an LED light strip to the Bronco sign and I think it looks pretty damn cool!

There are still a few tweaks I want to do to the building, but I think at this point the 74 will come first. I do have some general maintenance to do to my daily drivers that have been neglected too. It's amazing what almost 3 years of no garage, no organization, etc can do to a guy.

It all looks pretty cool. You will be a happy man and busy as you want to be. Best part will be starting a project or repair and needing to walk a away for a week or weeks, and when you get time to work on it again its just like it was when you walked away. You have the room and don't need to finish it immediately.

Thanks. It has already been reorganized 5 times and there are a few more to come. Everything has fit better than I expected. It's going to be great to have work space AND a place to park my daily driver. I used to have to park my daily driver outside while working on my projects.

Thanks all. I found a deeper blue light that I think looks better. The $11 led light strip comes with a remote control I can't even figure out all the options. Silly.
JD. I can't believe how quickly it filled up. I bought a few big tools (tube bender, sand blast cabinet, rolling step stool) while I was building. I thought there was PLENTY of room. Now I kind of wish I hadn't bought them, lol. I still feel like I'm squeezing 10 pounds of crap into a 5 pound bag. But it's a big improvement over what I had in Gunnison.

So many good tools are bulky, that is the trouble. I do hope to build a shop someday, and I think I want to section off a 12ft section of the building that would either run the length or width and use that for large tool storage. It would have a double door and lots of shelving. On one end I would add a room for the Air Compressor and and perhaps a furnace or any other noisy items. Ideally, my shop would have a big tool box and a nice work bench, but the rest would be rolled into the storage room. I can dream at least!
