Painted the shop on Tuesday, when my father surprised me by showing up with 5 gallons of white gloss latex paint he had leftover from a job he retired from about 6 years ago. The bucket looked the worse for wear, and when I opened it I was unsure if it would be ok. However I have a big paddle drill bit to mix five gallon buckets of paint with and after some mixing it was like new. All that is left to do is finish making some more benches and then try and move all my equipment from my father-in-laws garage to my shop. Then get to work on the cleat system for tool storage. The pics are not exciting, but here they are.

That new shop is shaping up just great, and in record time, to boot. I'd rather have it than a Corvette any day. (At my age, I'd still be invisible to the chicks if I was driving a friggin' flying saucer!)

So Todd, where does that whoppin' big fan of yours go in the new shop? :D

I guess the wind tunnel of a fan will stay in my father-in-laws garage since it is as big as a recliner, and even though it is on wheels it is a pain to move around! No room for it in the new shop, but the air conditioner works very well. :D Yea I made a lot of progress last week because I was off for 5 days straight. Progress will slow down considerably as I have to work more shifts over the following weeks. More work means more money, but less build and shop time.

Yes, I hope so, I am really eager to get it finished (initially) and then get started on some projects I have had on the back burner.
