Thanks wasfast! It has been much more involved than anticipated, and you're absolutely correct - much more time and effort. We've been living in a motorhome, albeit a 45' footer, since we started the project. It's going to be a while until I look forward to camping again!

Things are moving along, at least in the kitchen. Got the back splash and island columns covered in glass tile. While I wanted to tackle this myself, I thought better of it - be best to not use this as a learning experience! I have a slight addiction to vintage porcelain lights. I...

I ended up just paying the bill and moving on. Probably should have pushed back on it, but I just wanted to be done with it. Wish I could have found someone like you did! The Sinclair station was a bit of a whim. The original plan was to erect is and on a commercial lot I have and re-use it...

LOVE the space and vibe of your shop! What's the story on the meat truck? Any info you can share on the maker of the body would be awesome!

Bonneyman, Yep, those windows are tempered and dual pane. One of my best buds owns a glass business so he hooked me up. Whether wind and hail they should withstand it. Surprisingly, the single pane plate glass windows survived for a long time.

Thanks much Kevin! When my wife agreed, I also jumped at the opportunity. Sooooooo, I may have an option for you that would save you time, money, and give you lots of flexibility on where you locate a shop/house. I have a completely disassembled porcelain Sinclair station. Coincidentally, it...

Hey BugThug, sent you a message. May also need some tips on a '67 VW I latched onto for the wife.

Thanks Bugthug! I had an architect/engineer before we started. We met, went over specifics that had to be included. He did one floor plan that had none of the mandatory design items and lots I didn't want. Then the first bill for $2,500 showed up and he indicated there would be 3 or 4 more...

Progress has been slow. With the holidays, weather, work, blah, blah, blah....I knew the detail work was going to take time, but definitely underestimated it. Anyway, here's an update of some of the work over the last month. The counter tops are installed. I was skeptical of how they would...

Totally agree on the planning snafu. Unfortunately, there are lots of moving pieces on the project with this floor being one of them. Some setbacks on other aspects of the project ended up pushing everything out much later than I wanted or anticipated. Definitely presenting some challenges!

Thanks for the guidance! There won't be any cars put in until after the epoxy is down, but there are a couple tables saws making sawdust. I don't have it completely covered in cardboard, but I'm going to tomorrow.

Loving what you're doing with the containers! Keep up the awesome work!

Working on about a 1,000 sq. ft. area with concrete that's probably 30 years old. The plan was to grind the entire area then put epoxy down within a week. We ground the concrete but unfortunately needed to order more material to make sure we had enough coverage. Between the time of grinding...

Well, as much as I had hoped to be moving in by year end it's just not going to happen. While we've had plenty of good progress, too many setbacks have occurred. From broken kitchen cabinets (and a 4 week lead time) to the flooring taking waaaaay longer than it should means likely end of...

We've gotten quite a bit done since the last update, but still not close enough to see the end.....aka, moving in. All the spray foaming, sheetrock, taping/texturing, and most of the painting is done, with the exception of sheetrocking the bay area - I'm going to handle that. We ended up...

I really like this install and will definitely plan on one in my shop in the future. Thanks for posting!

With snow already falling in higher elevations of WY and MT, I'm slightly freaked out about the runway left to get out of the RV we're living in before winter hits. I'm hoping that it holds off until late October or early November! Metal installed on another side now. Still have the one full...

Thanks DoubleOT! Definitely been a learning experience!

Hadn't been in the basement since before the walls and floor were poured, so had to climb down to check it out. I'm not going to do much immediately here so I can concentrate on being able to live in it. Hoping this winter I'll tackle finishing it off myself.

Some more work done also on the exterior steel. The fascia has been installed on the south side. While not exact, it does mimic the original style pretty well. The color is as close as I could get. The canopy has always had a couple damaged fascia pieces that I think happened when it was...
