Not much going on with the shop lately. We've been busy getting the cars ready for events. I was able to get the pad formed up in front of the garage door and now just need to wait on the concrete guy. We hauled in pea gravel in the new truck. First load 4300 pounds, second load 7600 pounds. That's why we bought a one ton truck....

That's turning out so sweet Tom! Gotta love having a nice area - dry - warm and enough space to work!

Well, we may not have siding, but ours is filling up quick. I wish I had a fleet of mules (Sams) to rent out, I could retire!

Just like all our build threads we are long overdue for an update! Funny thing, the busier you get working on things the less time it seems you have to take pictures and update stuff. I've gotten lazy and often just do a quick facebook post from my camera phone...

The building inspector came out to do a rough electrical inspection and gave me a short list of things he wanted to see done before final inspection. A step outside the door was one of them so we knocked out a small deck.

Huge day came when electric was installed! For almost a year we used six 12-3 100' extension cords to bring three circuits into the shop.

With the help of Sam and my father-in-law we installed our new 10K lift over Thanksgiving weekend.

Knowing siding was coming eventually we wanted to get the "canopy" area completed.
