We moved to Littleton, CO August of 24 to be closer to our grandkids. I had to downsize from a 24X40 shop to a 24X27. I've been remodeling my "shop" for several months. Almost ready to rock&roll again. Redid all the wiring in the shop, raised the rafters 1 foot higher, sheetrock, race deck, yada yada yada :-)

I had to downsize also for my move, but it's worth it to be where you want to be. Looks like a nice shop to me.

Very nice shop... sometimes we
need to redo things and move but no fun
I am looking at relocating my shop

How do you like working on the Race Deck Panels
I spend too much time under my cars and thought
the panels may hurt you with the cells and hard plastic??
Also if you spill or leak I guess you can remove
the panel and wipe up??

PM me your email if you want more pics. Not sure it was a perfect process, but it worked. It came out fairly lightweight but I think you could make a couple tweaks and make it super light.

Thanks Jody. We are now 3/4 of a mile from two sweet grandbabies.

Bob, Yes you can pull out an individual panel to get to spills. It isn't any more comfortable to lay on than the concrete, just looks better :-) I just put it down a week ago and still have more to finish up.
