Grabbed that picture of the upstairs today.

Electrician ran into a schedule problem, he should be done in the morning. I took a detour from the shop to make some repairs on the roof. Eventually I'll need to tear off and re roof the tall section of the building (about 1k sqft) but for the time being I'm going to limp it along. There was trickle of water getting in at the parapet wall. Someone in the past attempted to smear tar over the slits in the membrane but didn't succeed. I scraped the entire 50' wall of loose material, tared, added mesh and tared again. Should be good for a while. Also took in the view!

That doesn't look like a fun job, but at least we've had decent weather for that kind of thing.

Worst part was getting the 5 gallon bucket of tar up.

Well I have power! electrician is done with the 100 amp sub panel. He installed 3 20amp circuits for outlets along the wall, wired in the 220 heater and installed a disconnect box on the other side of the wall for my air compressor. Paint is on the walls and I built a pretty darn sturdy work bench as well. Time to start moving tools in.

Killer old building.

Moved some tools into the shop and plumbed the air line under the electrical conduit. The compressor is going on the other side of the wall but I still need to hook it in.

You have made quite a bit of progress there, great bench as well.

It is markedly different from your first pics, well done.

Time for a quick update. This is the shop as of today. Finally got the Honda over to its new home. In case anyone is wondering, the car is a Honda S2000 with a Ls1/6spd swap.
