The shop is coming along.


Man, this beast is eating up alot of labor, but it's worth it. It's just a update for those who saw the original post. The cars fit just as planned in each bay. If I'm ever rich I'll build one for all the poncho members.

Wow!

It wouldn't be as bad if I hadn't done this all before. I look forward to getting back to my car hobby. I know how to do this stuff but I would sooner do something else.

The backside looks great Paul, can hardly wait to see it finished up front. When the outside is done U can get to work on the inside, Possibly some lights, LOL. I think it's the envy of everyone here.

While the guys worked on the siding I plumbed it, painted the facia, insulated, and cleaned up the beer cans.

Did I mention I supplied, built, and moved the scafolding in my spare time. So far I built the foundation, framed it, landed the trusses, roofed it, insulated it, wired it, plumbed it, put in the perimeter drains, installed the chimney,  but decided to sub out the siding. It takes man power and I don't have the time.

Ya I know but I had to give ya a hard time on the sublet, I would have never made it that far, Come to think of it I would have sublet the whole thing, But I'm not a carpenter, nor electrician, nor plumber. I must admit that it does look great.

The scaffold is gone, all the high stuff is caulked and painted. I still have to paint the lower trim black but it's starting to look complete. On the rainy days I'm a insulator and on the sunny days I'm a painter. No rest for the wicked!!
