Great build there I love the peg board idea... Shame the paint didn't stick...
Yeah I agree! Its actually holding up pretty well considering its not adhered to well. The only thing i have come to notice is that peg board tends to make the shop look messy even if its organized. Specially now that i have a good storage setup and don't need it as much. But its very handy to just hang what ever you want.
Here are the two new cabinets my uncle hooked me up with as he's downsizing houses and didn't have room

Somehow I missed this thread. You have a really nice, and well crafted shop. I really like the T1-11.

Good to see some updates. nice cabinets your uncle contributed. How are you liking the milled asphalt driveway so far?
Once it froze up with some ice and snow it was a cake to plow this winter, the only bad thing i found was that because its black it melts the snow/ice quickly. Which is good and bad, i would rather have it stay frozen all winter so its easier to plow. I found that just driving on it when we got 1-2" inches kept it frozen and snow covered. Only plowed when we got 3+ inches. Worked well.. I am sure i will be cursing once the snow piles melt and i see how much is in my yard..

Man you are in UP state New York aren't you. But yea, that was one thing I was wondering about, the freeze-thaw affect. Which we don't have to worry about a whole lot down here. When it is used down here, it tends to rut some from repeated wheel load in the hot summer.
I was going to ask how it held up th ethe first winter. It should get packed down more by next winter. I have heard of guys doing a top coat of chip/tar on the top of millings and makes it really nice and tight.
