Wow! You have certainly thought this through.

The place is beautiful..

Thanks John. It's been a long time coming.

Well done. I love the natural light .

 

[ConCretin]

That's a great looking garage. Love all the light from those high windows.

 

[zmotorsports]

Beautiful looking area and especially workshop. Well planned and executed.

 

[Blk88GT]

One of the most unique I have seen on here. Great job. I am very envious of all the natural light.

 

[komalakustoms]

This looks great! I love the windows and natural light coming in. Very unique and well thought out.

 

[LVIIIR]

That's badass! Thanks for sharing this!

 

[sbelles]

I got some time and some help from my brother to knock out the window framing and floor molding on most of the first floor. Now it's functional and it looks nice. Now I just have to finish the electrical / lighting, flooring for the wooden areas, the bathroom and the workshop room. I also need some more cabinets and....

 

[Organized_Garage]

Looks great! Looking forward to see the continued progress.

 

[sbelles]

Thanks Jeff. Besides the gym downstairs, which my wife wants done; it will probably be a while before I make any more progress, but at least now it's usable.

Wow, just,.....wow. I'd never want to leave the place, especially living on a lake. It's like permanently living in a vacation resort. As long as you like winters in PA (I like winters in Wisconsin, so can't be all bad) there'd be no reason to go elsewhere.

 

[NUTTSGT]

It's nice to see some updates have been happening.

[Ronn]

I love the tall windows. Lets good light in!

Two years later and the shop is full of stuff. It's already seen three engine swaps and another one underway on the C5 that blew up during an AER race at Mid Ohio last year.

Great looking build and beautiful location. The shop space is fantastic.

 

[sbelles]

Thanks Phred.

We had a downpour the other day and to my surprise, this scupper on the valley kept up. The gutter on the back roof, not so much. Hopefully some baffels will help.

Yarrr,...them be some fine scuppers ye got on that vessul matey, copper no less, eh.

Round these parts us landlubbers call them gutters.

That is a Sweet Set Up!

Looks like a fantastic place to loose track of time and Days!

Congratulations ! Job Very Well done!!

Did you get / find any pics of the boat?

What did you end up doing to shrink those Dam TaLL posts outside holding up the deck?

There's a scupper behind the gutter on the one roof. Yes, they are called scuppers on roofs as well.

I haven't done anything with the posts yet. We are slowly working on the landscape plan, I'm planning to address that when we build the outdoor kitchen below and next to the deck on the house and do something to finish under the deck on the shop. I'll look for and post up some pics of the boat.

 

[sbelles]

I can't find any good pics of the boat. I'll take a few when I go up next weekend.

 

[sbelles]

Just picked up another boat a couple months ago. 1974 Catalina 22. The previous owner couldn't figure out how the mast worked so he cut it in three pieces. I already found a used mast off of a 74. Now I just need to find the time to work on it.

 

[oilslick]

Wow, the whole place is great! Good times are being had in such a unique place that just looks like no effort was spared in its creation.
