I took a month off here and there really burned out on it but also kept pecking away at it in small amounts. Still not done but getting close!

I got one of the USED CARS OK! signs when I bought the posters. I thought about getting an old gas pump that lights up. Definitely need a few more neons. So much more stuff needed like water filtration for the hoses, hoses, hose reels. Maybe a fancy vacuum on the wall or something? Brain and...

Got some more progress made. My buddy who has been helping me said that if we were to only pour concrete for the new front door and the new shop door that it likely would bother the F out of me because it is all clean new concrete and the rest is still old stuff. Also there are minimums required...

Its killing me because I am tapped out, and burnt out. A few grand to patch/reseal and make it acceptable. I don't think it will do it justice or look right. 12k to re-blacktop the whole thing, new white lines. I think I am going to find a way to make that happen as that will be the cherry on...

Ripped the front of the building off! And now I have a big mess to clean up as well as I am too tired to do anything. I had spray foam done in the shop area since the plan is to have the shop floor done so lets get that insulated first. Had faucets hooked up in the kitchen and bathroom.

I had a halfassed attachment on the back of the building. It was a disaster and faling down. The problem was to remove all of it was as much or more work then to just refinish it. A few thought I was crazy to try to redo it however I figured itd be a great place to stick a compressor. We blocked...

Got the tile grouted, went with a dark grout and i think that was a good idea. Picked up some brand new yet cheapy cabinets to toss in the kitchen. Mounted my vanity in the bath so we could run trim around it. Primed a ton of trim, nail holes, whew my back is killing me. I had leftover crown so...

The showroom probably will only have 1 small car in it at a time. Not something I want to frequent dragging in and out. Would like to find unique old stuff to sit in there as well. Like an old CJ, or old Bmw vert. I have a 1968 Austin America that probably I will probably stick in it just for...

Decided on a slate or black for the trim vs the white. This place will see traffic and get dirty and this will least show it or so I think. Also started putting up some crown molding. Kind of a pain in the *** but really looks good once its up. Picture is of my dad who came down to help with...

Framed out and bought glass for the office windows. 75 bucks for two pieces of glass at the locals glass shop and then just framed them in with some bare wood and trim.

Been a minute to find the time to update. Started on finishing the drywall.

Got some trim put down around new door and windows. Started finishing out the hallway, breakroom, and bathroom.

Gonna have to go back through as time allows and repost all my pictures. Sigh. Anyways the front door finally came in and we got her slapped in. That thing was heavyyyy. My dad stopped by to help. Going to start trimming out windows and such.

Greetings from Indiana here as well! Love your creativity throughout this build. I have used it for inspiration on my own build. Feel free to check my build out and give ideas or comments as I go. Keep the detailed pictures coming!

Had the plumbing ran and my word it took me for months to be able to find a plumber to finally show up. They had to be licensed with the city and most were not. The ones who were knew they were of value and overcharged absurd rates. I finally found the right one. He plumbed everything in the...

Thanks man, and thanks for following and words of motivation throughout. Yes it's wet in those pictures. The pictures do not do it justice, its hard to get a good idea of the color due to the sun coming in. We did a few days and coats of final clear to give it good depth as well as provide for...

I think I may have shed a tear when I first saw this floor finished. Still a ton of work to be done, but its finally looking like I am seeing the end of the tunnel.

I carried on with the floor this week. After attempting to tear the tile apart myself and go at it alone...I decided to turn to the professionals at http://epoxyfloorstore.com/ to decide how to approach this. They were able to work with me on my schedule as we needed several sessions to revive...

We used outdoor sheeting coated to bare the elements both water and mold in the wash bay. Thoughts are then to use a high gloss vynal wainscotting or whatever the stuff is that you would sheet a bathroom. Also then be able to eventually wrap the entire wall with a website/logo and utilize as a...
