The Shop..............

Things are really coming together now. The shop is built and finished inside, has a 3 ton heat pump for a/c and heat and the new gravel drive has been completed. Some pictures:

The shop building, outside view:


Some pics of the driveway and parking area:






Heat Pump:
compressor unit


air handler unit


Front door:


Messy workbenches:



The first major project will be to rebuild the 3.0 ltr in my SC into a 3.3 SS with
twin plug Carrera heads and XDi ignition! Bring on the wrenches and beer!

As I struggle to make my 22x22 two car garage usable as a shop while still holding two cars......I officially hate you.

You have what I aspire to someday. A little land and a nice shop, life is good.

Fuse panels

Forgot to mention, this is where I build the ATO fuse panels for 911s!

Fred, you are seriously over-shopped for building fuse panels!

Really nice place, i'm jealous.

Very very nice Fred.

You should be proud of such a wonderful facility.

It's on EVERYONE'S bucket list - that's for sure.

Thanks for sharing and have fun!!!

Beautiful job, Fred. Now if I could just get my place as cleaned up as yours - even though you call it messy.

Looking good, Fred... kudos for a job well done.

I see the AM-FM-SW radio... now to complete the man cave, you need a TV, beer fridge, and a couch. If the couch would crowd things too much, a futon that folds up... or maybe have the couch suspended with cables on a pulley system so you can crank it up out of the way when not in use.
