Tony's car "Karma" has arrived

[awr68]

Thanks for the kind words guys...it's much appreciated!!

Brent, the late nights have already begun! We built this house 11.5 years ago and I never finished the garage. So now with time running out and the car heading home I find myself out there a lot! The cabinets have all been relocated to what I think will make for a much safer storage space for Karma, I did lose some counter top space...but I will be fine with what’s left! I cut a door into the parts room from the garage so I don't have to access it from outside anymore! Remember it rains here a lot! I finally have all the drywall finished, smooth wall finish (no texture) as that’s what I do for a living. Two of the bays are painted and I'm priming the 3rd this weekend. Hope to have it all painted by next weekend! It’s kinda time consuming as the ceilings are white and the walls are a light canvas color. Then I need to plumb the sink, trim out the new door, and wash the floor one more time....then we are ready for Karma's homecoming!!

I’ll post before and after pics of the garage when I’m finished…

Man I'd be excited to be working on that stuff knowing that Karma is on the way. Perfect way to get rid of all that nervous energy you must have built up. Seriously...stop complaining.

I knew you would bust my chops!

Actually one of the many excuses I have used is that I didn't want to make it pretty until I was done with the dirty/fab stage of the build! And man did the grinding dust go everywhere! But now that that's all far behind us it's time to dial in the room like Pete did the car! He kinda set the bar high...
