matta5, great shots...

Awesome place to work with!!!

 

[matta5]

Moved in some of the tools boxes, so much more to do but getting there, thanks guys

 

[madoc1]

nice, but i think i would need a ladder to use that big box! lol

[matta5]

Yeah for the top few drawers I need a step stool!

 

[matta5]

I found some cheap anti-fatigue mats online, to go with a few of the Snap On ones I already had, sure better than standing on concrete the whole time I'm in my shop.
Also took and old king size bed frame that had some storage, stacked them up added a countertop, some casters, paint to match my blue and black theme and I have a workbench!

Catchingup on some updates, hung up the Ford sign from my old mans shop, had hung on his shop for many years I also moved the first car into the new shop addition, wheel dollies really help to get cars tight against the wall

 

[matta5]

The electricians had to come back to replace a faulty light fixture, I took advantage of the scissor lift they had hung my air line to run to the opposite wall via the roof beam, looks pretty clean, will hopefully get the rest piped in next week.

Last update, had welders here working, 30x40 awning going up, this thing is overbuilt but might someday be closed in, It will be a nice dry outdoor work space and probably parking spot for the kids and to get a few things that I want dry but not indoors, probably my tractor.

matta5, thank you for the update..

Really liking how things are progressing, the awning will be a great addition..

Kudos on the Ford sign, it adds a nice touch.

Regards

 

[madoc1]

coming right along. looking good, but maybe a bit empty.

 

[sean Buick 76]

Smart idea to have that nice covered area outside!!!

 

[matta5]

Thanks guys, Didn't realize how much I was going to like the awning, its all framed in and should be roofed soon, hope to get a day off next week get it back filled so I can use the doors and move another car or two.

 

[matta5]

I didn't realize the sign came out sideways, here's a better pic, seen better days but it's got lots of character!

 

[matta5]

My awning is nearing completion, much taller and bigger than I saw in my mind, really going to like the space to keep stuff dry, its 30x40 and 12 ft tall

 

[madoc1]

that turned out nice!

Looking great, except for all those Fords

 

[matta5]

Thanks! Just wait until I get the rest of the cars in there, will be Ford heaven, you will love it!

 

[matta5]

Finished the awning and got it trimmed out today, I really glad they were able to trim it out cleanly, I was a little worried with the 12 beams wouldn't look good.

found a satellite pic of my original shop and the second is the slab for the addition right after it was poured, kinda fun to see the progress.

Neat. I check every couple weeks hoping for an updated shot of my property...but it never changes! It still shows what it looked like with the previous owner's camper and a bunch of missing grass where my driveway is now.

 

[matta5]

The new pic came from google earth and the old one from Google maps, both taken off today. google earth seems more updated might try that!

 

[1/2 Cup]

matta5, nice pics from google maps..

 

[matta5]

Thanks as always 1/2 Cup!

 

[matta5]

Havent done much lately so I figured I would post a pic of my bar, its a mess, most of this will move into my office/sign room in the new shop once its completed.

 

[matta5]

I did get my one of my air blocks and hose reel installed, no leaks so far!

 

[1/2 Cup]

matta5, looking great, unfortunately I don't have room for a bar in the Shed Downunder, but I do make good use of the seating for having the odd one..

All the best to you and yours for Christmas..

Regards

 

[matta5]

Yeah I'm not much of a drinker anymore, ends up being more of a spot to hang out and display my junk, Merry Christmas to you and yours!

 

[matta5]

Been a little while for me, not a lot of changes, lift up and operating, love having it!

 

[1/2 Cup]

matta5, thank you for the update.

I only wish I had the room here for a lift, well done..

Regards
