YeeeHaaaw!!! Walls!

At the time of my resumption of pipe making 2 years ago, I moved my baby lathe and new drill press into my carport because that was the only available space. Tarps hung over the side kept things reasonably dry, but provided only some partial protection from wind and no insulation from the cold . Temperatures have fallen into the teens frequently during the two winters that I worked in this environment.
Not up to another winter in my "tent", I have spent the last couple of weeks putting up some walls. I have foam board insulation up on the back and sides and am hoping to close up the front this week end. Its already warmer with the wind not able to blow all the way through.
This is my main side, the new (to me) lathe goes on the right side when I get a pad poured- the present floor is about 1 1/2" asphalt, and won't hold the weight.
I will also be putting in 60 feet of shelving to put my stuff in order.
