Looks like you will have a high roof on one half and a second story on the other. smart use of space.

 

[Skipper51]

Hey Tim, show us a picture of what it looks like when it's all done.

So jelly

so, the new shop is done.

floors are epoxied...

got free used carpet installed upstairs...

moved the mill & lathe into the new machine room...

sold the 53' semi trailer that i had filled up when we moved up here...

so now i can park my 1955 harley panhead in a clean shop...

and to celebrate one year of retirement & my 50th birthday, i bought another 1963 impala super sport like the one i had in high school...

all in all i think 2016 has been a pretty good year. moving to Oregon was a great decision!

Good idea . Or at least plan it out for 2018

so I sold the big red p.o.s. finally.
I'll miss it. I had a shit ton of fun building it & bashing on it at deer valley & slick rock, but it had been sitting for the last two years as I was planning my retirement, moving to Oregon, remodeling a bunch of my rentals, building my new shop, etc. etc.
It went to a good home on the Oregon coast.
I still have my daily driver 98 xj & my green 2000 xj trail rig, but have been buying a bunch of antique Harley-Davidsons to fill up the shop lately. I have been riding Harleys since I was 17 & slowed down on them while getting sidetracked by hot rods, then drag racing, then rock crawling, but it's full steam ahead with bikes now.

[blondejoncherokee]
