[69MyWay]

I know, this thread is worthless without pictures...but they are coming. The problem is that right now a picture would not do much good because the shop looks like a disaster area. However, we are making steady progress.

The Goal:
To have a dedicated well thought out workshop customized to function as a project center for my hobbies.

The raw materials:

A 25x35 detached two car garage workshop with full bath plumbing, cable, phone, a/c.

The Plan:

Keeping it on the cheap, using pre-made counter tops (formica tops), 2x4 lumber, and dry wall to create space that is organized and simple for dedicated tool box, storage, equipment, and workspace. This includes a bump out from the bathroom wall that forms a 4' wide desk top surface for a clean "paper work" work space. At a later date a computer will go there tied to the net.

Progress to date:

* Bathroom completed
* raw stud wall framing and workbench building completed
* Drywall hung

To do:

Re-route some wiring
Finish the drywall
install shop side deep sink
install shelving units
paint


Things it won't have due to space/construction:

Can't have a lift due to ceiling height issues.
Can't have a dedicated spray booth area due to sq ft issues


Later Plans when I have $$$ to spend:
Largest screen possible tv
Custom shop flooring
MORE TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT!

Timeline:

I am taking the week off after Christmas to wrap up as much as possible. I hope to be fully functional by mid January.

Stay tuned, because once all these details are sorted out I am going to roll up my sleeves and put my 69 Vette under the knife for a while..........
