New shop
I moved to a larger house and property for a shop.
The shop is a 1000 sq ft
The garage on the house is a 4 car heated and tiled
The shop when we bought in July was just stud walls
We raised the ceiling to 9 ft
Then installed the electric - there are outlets every 8 ft
Insulated the walls and double insulated the ceiling.
There are 12 - four foot two bulb 5k 2200 lumen LEDs
and 4 - four fout four bulb 5k 2200 lumen LEDs down the middle
The floor is Epoxy coat with a clear coat.
Ready to move in cars !!!!!!!
The shop will be for body work / dirty work....etc...
The garage will be for assembly work.

My front end should be finished at Sermershimes soon. I could just drop everything by before you get all of that dirty work started.

I've long wanted just the right person to adopt me and my 67 ragtop. Looks like I've found the perfect guy! Congrats!

Very nice!! You've brought out the envy in all of us. You, very soon, won't know how you lived without all this space before
