This June my immediate family will be moving from near Washington D.C. back to my hometown of Columbus Ohio. We will be staying with family while we are building a new home. The builder has been gracious enough to allow me to do the install of all of the wood flooring, cabinetry, and interior trim.
Unfortunately, while living with family there will not be space to set up my shop equipment. Once drywall is done, near September, I can move my equipment into the garage to have on hand while finishing out the house. However, it would be helpful to be able to set up a select few tools during the summer months to get a head start on some of the architectural elements, maybe build some forms for some concrete counter tops, knock out a vanity or two, etc.
I’ve been pointed towards storage units, but I’ve never seen any that would have 220 service for my cabinet saw and/planer. Besides, I seriously doubt storage facilities would allow such work even if I was only running 110. The facilities set up for commercial businesses to operate out of might be more accepting of running shop equipment but they all want long(er) term leases.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on finding temporary space to set up a shop? I’m sure there are other Creekers involved in the construction of a house that have had to find creative solutions to getting access to a shop (your own machines or someone else’s) while between more permanent shops.
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
