To bad about the skylark. Sounds like it was nice. I never did get much into the mechanical end of things but it has always interested me. Was always too busy with the autobody. My firebird was my first car and I bought it to work on in my pre apprentice course .... back in 87. I have thought of...

I am planning to do some painting in the shop but not going to make a permanent paint bay. I'm kind of thinking about putting in a permanent ventilation system but will have a temporary booth set up that I can take down when not spraying. something like a Costco car cover frame that I would wrap...

Still waiting on my trusses, hopefully by the weekend. They told me by the 17th but are now a couple days behind. :( If not by the weekend maybe I will get the power hooked up.

The color is just a dodge color. code PR8, it is a burgundy pearl, but not a candy color like most Harleys. Will check your blog for your bike :beer:

Not much has happened with the garage, still waiting for trusses and have been busy with work. I did decide on 2 windows for sure, so with the help of my very supportive wife :D we cut the sheathing out. Sadie always seems to be photo-bombing :lol: I think I have more pictures of her than of...

Heres a couple pics of the corvette before re assembly

Thanks, It has taken a lot of time from our spring and summer but we managed to get done what we wanted. Now the focus is the garage.

Thanks, What happened to your Skylark? The color of my car is actually a chameleon type. Its called Ocean Extreme. Its an BASF/RM paint. I painted it back in 2000 but now want to go to an age specific color for it. When my shop is done it will be one of the first projects.

The firebird is mine and the mustang belongs to a long time friend. We have had these cars since the mid 80's and never had a picture taken of the cars together. So this summer, 25+ years later, this picture was taken. One of us was always working on something and they were never both on the...

Heres a customers car from my bodyshop job that I have to get painted before the trusses come in. Im not keen on his wheels but its not my car.

That's an Idea, Its not me but it is my shop. :)

Yes we do have good drainage, lots of gravel in the ground, and no clay. I also put down drainage tile that I will tap the gutters into on both sides. On the left side of the shop the drain tile runs from our house downspout past the shop where it ties in and right out the back fence into the...

We do get a bit of a chilly winter here and I like to be able to work in a t-shirt, so I'm going to try to insulate everything the best I can. If I have to stay bundled up I don't get anything done.

Thanks, Everything came together very well, maybe to well. The shop is EXACTLY square. I don't know if that was the calm before the storm but it was nice to have no troubles. Hopefully the trusses come in this week. We didn't get the snow here... but we heard it was snowing in Mackenzie, a...

Well we managed to get all the sheathing on and not to soon might I add.:rocker: It poured rain for most of the day... after we finished. All that is left is to cut out the window holes as they are framed already. only a couple quick pics .... had to go to work.

The windows were a huge topic of discussion for us. No windows , 1 window, 2 windows. I do really want the natural light coming in. We decided that we will frame for 2 windows at normal height as we will alarm the shop. We will leave the sheathing up and decide afterwards. As for the doors I...

I thought this picture turned out pretty cool. My buddy nailing in the last of the top cap as the sun was setting.

Was a great day today, sunny and over 20 degrees Celsius. We got more done than I thought. The walls are all up and capped with some sheathing on to keep them square. Will finish the sheathing tomorrow and wait for the trusses to come in next week sometime.

Thanks, the grass took a bit to get going, but it grows like crazy now. Should be mowing every 4 days.

Walls go up today. This is one of my Minions..... Literally, His last name is Minion :lol:
