Just found this thread, nice building. I didn't get a chance to read it all but what city are you in?

 

[Jo Diesel]

None of the pics show on your ceiling. Could you post more? Cool looking Project.

Update?

 

[Terrick down Under]

Just read this thru. Really interesting project. Have you managed to redo the front door yet? What doe the basement look like, or is that another story.
Got me watching.

 

[JC23]

Any updates to one of the most popular builds on GJ?

[capterik]

couple of months shy of 2 years since he last updated, my guess is something has happened, hopefully not bad.

 

[Stuart in MN]

According to his profile he was here at the site in October, so he's still alive and kicking.

SiMN, now that's a good start....

You hit the nail on the head! Spring is going to absolutely slam us bit I am not complaining. We got out of the flooring business and are now 100% EIFS/Stucco/Plastering.

I apologize for not updating recently (ok....2 years lol) I am heading there tomorrow and will post some pics.

Talk about wild coincidences!! I was just checking back with this thread about ten minutes before your response. I was debating on whether to kill the subscription, because I figured it was a dead thread. Glad to see you're still around, and everything, including the project are going well. I look forward to your update.

Update as far as the shop goes:

The ceiling was in last time I updated but someone requested new pics so I will take care of that tomorrow.

We put in the 11 glass block (in frames) windows that I picked up for $100. The remaining windows will be in filled with the loose glass block I have......who knows when.

We did a bit of framing allowing us to remove the 2 iron posts at the front of the shop to allow more room bringing in vehicles.

On the 15th I am having a new Rheem high boy oil furnace installed. The novelty of the hand fired coal is wearing off and if I can set the thermostat to 45 degrees and forget it until I am actually working in the shop it's worth it to me. We are going to install the tank in the basement.

Brought in a new project....





More to come.....sooner than 2 years I promise!

wow, what a project to stumble across. subscribed and hope to see some more updates to a really unique space. I must agree with what others have said, that is it great to see an old building rehabbed. Makes me wonder what kind of potential buildings in my little hometown have.

 

[CreteCoater]

Spent a few hours at the shop today. I made a workbench area to keep some of my boat project supplies organized and a general work area. These are the science lab tables I got at a school auction a few years back complete with colorful graffiti.

The 2 drawer cabinet I got from a bank remodel fit perfect underneath and is a good place to chuck some power tools.

You can also see the windows we installed earlier in the year. These came from a jobsite demo.

Someone requested a ceiling pic a while back so here ya go. The green wall will be changed once we plaster the inside.........it seemed like a good idea at the time lol

This is really, really cool! Thanks for posting up along the way. Those black top lab tables are legit, I haven't been lucky enough to find any.

These were about the only good thing I saw there. I wanted to pic up some metal shop class stools but they got bid up to a ridiculous price.


A couple more pics I took today.

This is the front area where we framed a partition wall and load bearing office wall (well....it WILL be an office when it is done being storage) to allow me to remove the 2 steel poles that made coming in the door pretty tight.




And a shot of the forklift we picked up. It smokes more than my wife but sure does make life easier.

I just found this thread and went thorough the whole thing, great looking set up,

 

[aaron77]

Are you going to stick foam on the inside? Or veneer plaster?

We are going to parge with traditional stucco mix and then either just sponge float it and paint, or, run acrylic finish on top.

Very cool. Do you guys do a lot of stucco jobs up there? There isn't as much call for it down here because of stress cracking when the weather turns cold.

I have been in business since '03 and I have bought one skid of stucco mix and it's the one I bought for my shop haha. We do a bit of direct applied Dryvit on block or concrete though. Holds up well.

"You ****" big time! Great find and even greater that you chose to dive into it and make it something worthwhile. Looking really good!!

Haven't seen any pictures where the stairs go right into the mezzanine and you have the low truss issue, but would it be possible to level off the stairs at 7 ft below the bottom of the trusses and go level until you get to the wall, then resume stairs into the space? It would take up some mezzanine floor space and you'd have to cut and support at least one floor joist but it would get access you could walk on upright.

Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to your next post in, ummm.... six months to two years?

Something I meant to share previously.

I found an invoice for a used 1952 Mercury for $530 sold out of this garage back when it was Dunlaps. It came with all the bells and whistles including heat and defrost!

While the invoice itself is interesting, the best part is the man who purchased it, my late Grandfather.

Very cool!

Now if you can find the car...

Well.....we do have a VIN! I bet if I dug around at the house I could find a pic in one of the old albums (I live in his old house. As a matter of fact my Great Grandfather also used to own this house)

Awesome story, finding the car would be a fantastic ending.

Nice find! I'd frame that and put it on the wall in the office when you get it done.

 

[Finallygotit]

Now how cool is that!

 

[TX4runner]

That's amazing. Sounds like fate brought you to that project.

 

[JC23]

More proof that you were the one to end up with it. Hopefully, the car, too!

 

[M-technik-3]

Welcome back to the living, glad to hear all is well with you at your end. Cool find with the old car bill of sale.

 

[CreteCoater]

We have heat.....again....
