Was a cold and rainy day today so Diane and I decided we would start to tackle one of the biggest job space enough that is to redo our shop.… That meant cleaning absolutely everything out of it. Here’s what it look like
And here’s what came out of it… And eventually have to go back in… Or at least some of it :-)
What comes next is that we Paint the walls and ceiling,put on new countertops… epoxy the floor, And install all the new shelving I just ordered… Then comes the work I actually pissing the stuff back in there in an orderly way. Wish us luck :-)
