Default Getting the doghouse organized

Im finally starting to get my doghouse organized. A lot of work left to do, like get rid of the floral couches, look for a lift, etc. But its a start.

Thanks!

The Duc is only a 749S, so I didnt spend that much on it - yet. Though I have mod fever - it has the Ti race exhaust, and the table behind it has a ton of mods (lighter chain and sprockets, new levers, new windscreen, etc).

The dogs get to sleep in the house, this is where I get to sleep when Im in trouble. I at least dont have to walk to the house for anything,I can wait her out if she is mad.

I have plenty of room to work out.

I still have a few phases left.

Im going to hang the slot car track from the ceiling, cause it is sitting on top of the pool table I need to finish putting back together.

I want to build an Irish Pub in that area as well, or I may do it in the kitchen (there is a kitchen with fridge, sink, and standing stove/oven behind the swinging doors). It also has 2 half baths, need to put a shower in at least one. Then Id be seriously able to survive out there.
