I've been moving into a new shop for the last couple months, and we're finally getting settled and looking more like a nice outfit. This is primarily an electronics shop, installing stereos and remote starts, but along with that comes the custom fabrication, and I most recently decided to branch off into detailing. It's been a nice addition and keeps people walking in.

Some before shots:

The building is settling pretty bad.





The whole place was disgusting. We supercleaned the walls!






Retail area -





Looking through to the wood shop




Woodworking space



View from the table saw



View from the router table





Main bay, in the middle of the building -




Detailing bay -

The pipe drop in this picture will have a hose reel attached.




The door on the left is to the utility closet basically. It has the air compressor, air dryers and extra tanks, hot water tank, dispensing system for soaps, and some storage shelves



Looking from the end of the building, which is my dad's little storage area, you can see through the detail bay, through the main shop bay, and to the wood shop at the end.




This is the water system. I can mix hot and cold to the garden hose and dispenser. Imagine perfectly diluted hot soapy water that goes in the bucket at the push of a button! now you want shampoo for the shampooer? no prob. push that button. perfectly diluted, and whatever temperature you want!

new signs were up last week. I have a bigger, brighter, more elaborate blue sign planned, but these will have to work until I get some more $





New exterior paint went up in the last 2 days. Neutral color, white trim. I'll have banners, that will change out as I get new ones, on a rail system I'm rigging up. I'll have a logo on the garage doors, and I'll paint the entry door bright blue as well.





just finished retail floor paint tonight. I'll be out of town for the weekend, when I'm back we'll start moving into these 2 rooms with the new floor.








my view every day! ...at least when it's not raining







The air lines are started. 3/4" Copper, brazed. I'm trading my plumber buddy for some work on his truck.

Looks like it's coming along well! I wish I had a view like that from my shop, whenever I get stressed out I could just go out back and relax a little.
