My new shop---Progress!

**Garry Dean** · 05-28-2009, 07:51 AM

As most of you know I got my new shop and have been working hard to get everything finished by June 1st (my goal). I just figured I would post a few pictures of the progress so far.

Here it is day 1. We were installing the electrical wiring, lighting, and outlets.

That’s my girlfriends dad, Paul.

This one shows all of the electrical and lighting done.

Here is where its at right now. We started painting and were just going to leave some of the defects in the drywall, but it really looked terrible so we filled the holes with joint compound after the first coat of paint and called it a day.

We still need to sand the joint compound and put on a second coat of paint. The final chore will be to tap into the water line on the roof and run a spicket down by my bay door. I will be getting a stationary deionizer system.

More to come, stay tuned! Thanks for looking!

what kind of building is that in?

That looks pretty small. You gonna have room to work?

I figured you all would ask that, lol. I can pull afull size suv in there and still walk around it on all sides. Plus I am moving the stairs. Its plenty big for one vehicle at a time. Its in a storage and business park. My jobs there will be by appointment only as I will always be mobile.

Ok, got a little more done tonight. I cut and removed the rail bottom to the steps (temporary fix to moving the steps). Got the second coat of paint on the walls and removed the blocks of wood that were nailed to the righthand post (not sure what they were for).

is there a drain in there, or heat? Aren`t you afraid of getting the drywall wet, etc?

No drain, no heat. I will be washing and rinsing with deionized water then pulling the vehicle in for paint correction or whatever else it needs.

Nice business name, "Progress" is a good start and I hope it will grow and expand in the near future. It`s still under development am I right? As I`ve seen in the pics.

Wish you the best!
