It's been like 4 degrees as a high lately. Yeah I am sticking to inside.

Any updates on this shop? I know this is an old thread, but the shop looks awesome!

Yeah really need to keep up on this thread. Well about 8 months ago I quit my day job and starting my own auto repair business out of the shop. So far it has kept me really busy. I did get some more of the interior done. Hopefully I can keep plugging away at it.

Started building my hardware inventory. Seems dull for some but I am excited that I can stop going to the hardware store for random bolts. Been placing a mcmaster carr order once a month for different sized hardware.

Started on a section of interior wall by my tool box. Got everything back in place. Starting to shape up. Now its time to catch up on actual work that pays the bills.

Looks nice. Yes. Thanks for updating. What are you mainly wrenching on for work? Cars? Heavy line? Probably a little of everything. NICE PRESS BTW...

I work on most anything from oil changes to engine and transmission replacement.
The press has been great. Have done some pretty tough wheel bearings without breaking a sweat.

This is a beautiful build. You are coming up on the 5 year mark since you started posting on the thread. I am sure the garage has made a big difference in your ability to do jobs. That is proven because you are now working for yourself. Congratulations on your accomplishments!!

Your thread is inspirational for me.
