I finally got around to assembling some furniture. It's been sitting in cartons in my other garage since 08/05.

I also hung a few pictures from the GM Photo Store I framed up. I still have a couple more to hang.

The building is 20 years old. It use to have and open attic. I got tired of the dust from our summer monsoon storms. I enclosed it last summer and laid down Lock-tile flooring. Two coats of Andeck CLEARCOAT 44 was applied. It makes the dovetail joint seams watertight.

The interior dimensions are 18'Wx28'Dx9'H

This is the building before the remodeling. It had an open attic.
I did most of the work on the gold 442 when it was resurrected in 12/03 after 18 years of garage storage. At that time my tool box was an Edelbrock manifold cardboard box! (true)

Cool workspace, John!

Now for the challenge -- KEEPING it that clean and organized...:bounce:

Rick ---> who seems to get a lot of help from other family members in deciding what should be stuck in the garage...

Is that a Gladiator fridge? The guy at the Garage Store told me that Gladiator didnt make the small fridge any more. Your garage (and car) look great! That clearcoat really makes it.
