My father and I have been working on it for over a year now, and its finally shaping out to be something special for us. It was at one time just a dirt floor pole barn. It is now heated, insulated (the yellow 'twinkie' foam walls) cement floored, air-line plumbed with 7.5 horse compressor, 4 Rotary lifts, lots of tools and two level storage, solvent tank and planned beadblaster. In the shop at the moment (These pics are about 4 months old) are 5 cars (one's at the bodyshop), two of them current restorations, two 24' Featherlite trailers with one car placed in a single trailer, the other one empty, and almost no more room for parts. The maximum vehicle occupancy, with all bays filled and the two trailers moved out is 12. Also, we've found that Sherwin-Williams industrial floor paint doesent hold as well as promised, so we will lay linoleum as soon as we bite the bullet and move everything out.
Anyone got some wrenching to do?

for both of them. Brian2001SS & LS1Adam, those ls1tech banners are pricey. They cost me $100 each, made of heavy material. I wouldn't mind ordering some for you guys if you pay in advance. They can make them in pretty much any color combo. If you look closely, you can see a black one with yellow logo on the right side of the pic.
Richie, the pic is kinda misleading. The driveway is actually longer than it appears in that photo. You can fit a car in the left side before that bend even starts. I wanted it straight out, but the deed restrictions in this area limit you to a double wide entry. Kinda gay since I purchased half of a cul-de-sac for myself and have no next door neighbors.
