willie Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Joe that's nonsense, it looks great and storage for 10!!!! How can you go wrong? Granted alot of work and money but it will be well worth it to house the BABIES. Love it!! Great Job!!! Can't wait to see it with the floors done. As far as the boats and snowmobiles go, i figured it out once, you have about 6-8 days a year to enjoy a boat. If you work (much better when retired). And i am surrounded by water, i live on an island. I love the water but To me not worth it! Snowmobiles are great also, except no room around here to ride. Largest parcels of land are parks and they will throw you out and give you a ticket for riding there. Have to drive/tow for a few hours to ride without anyone breaking your chops. Takes all the fun out of it. I will stick to my cars, they are here with me and can take them out when and if i choose. My2 cents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The builders finished up the interior this morning, then it was my turn in there. Found they forgot an outlet box that was still buried in the wall. Had to remove the sheeting, mount the box, cut a hole in the wall & hang the sheet again. Also some issues with all the light & fan switch boxes they mounted. Had to open that up and re-do everything. But the good news is the building is fully powered and everything works, at least electrically. Still waiting for a couple of motion sensors for the alarm & still have to finish installing the side mount garage door opener, but glad this hurdle is done. Tomorrow I'll go over a few spots on the floor that need attention to get ready for paint, hopefully this weekend. After that a few more loose ends then I can get back to my buddies the shovel & wheel barrow. That Corona went down a little too fast...may need another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 That looks so good I would almost hate to put anything in there. I can see the sign now “ MUST BE INSPECTED FOR CLEANLINESS BEFORE ENRY WILL BE PERMITTED “. Shoe booties in tray by front door. Lol. Seriously. Looks awesome.

It's getting there, but the bulk of the worst part is about over. After the floor paint, it'll be some alarm wiring then back to the outside donkey work, but at least it's usable now if I needed it.

(Or the donkey). Nope, that's the plan. No vehicles or anything until it's done. It was bad enough that the concrete grinder kept spitting balls of grease from the bearings when I was using it. I kept a can of brake clean & towels right on the machine to clean it up immediately. Didn't want it so soak in and cause problems later.

Too much stuff to cram in the shed, and I don't like clutter in the main shop. The attics are getting too full with parts and the cellar is getting smaller as well. This should solve that. I was looking on craigslist tonight for shevles or pallet racks, but nothing jumped out at me yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well today was a good day. Worked all night, couldn't sleep when I got home, so a couple of my buddies came over & we started painting the floors. I taped the bottom last night, had all the prep work done etc. Started painting around 10:15 AM, was done around 2:15 PM. All told we used around 17-18 gallons. Laid it on heavy, looks like the floor is dipped in paint. Tried to take a nap before I go back in tonight but no luck so I went out to see about removing the tape. Yep, 2 hours later, the stuff is hard enough to walk on with no issues. Real happy with the results, just a boatload of labor to get there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking some shelves up in a day or two to put in the corner for tires & parts, etc. Then I'll put all the cars in there while I spray the man door white in the other shop.

Probably next few weeks when I'm on vacation again.. A buddy of mine picked up a ton of shelving at a bed bath and beyond that was closing and selling everything. Cheap. In the back warehouse of the store is all the heavy duty 2x8 ft or 4x8 ft. Nice stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
