I can do pretty much anything you can come up with.

They finally cut a doorway from one section to the other. Needless to say I'm not happy about the amount of dust. But after cleaning some of it up I set a few panels in place. Looks much better.

Really cool. I want so much one of your FJ60 fuel injection units. Damn the California smog bitches. Best of luck.

Not much to report. Been working on clients vehicles and shipping stuff. I did get the most important part done. The couch is in. Beer is stocked in the fridge and my stereo is hooked up.

I also got some of my drawers delivered. Planning on making a wall out of them and storing new and old parts in them. They are pretty sweet with full extension slides.

Nice,.....how about a pic of the dog on the couch helping?

Great looking shop marshall. I have a old block 25x25 shop I work in at home and I use a diesel torpedo to heat it. Costs about $3 a day and it keeps it about 60 ish. My neighbor uses a waste oil heater to keep his shop warm.

Got some more work done today as they finally removed a wall dividing the space. Got some more panels in place. Should have them wired up tomorrow and the wall finished. Work benches are coming along. Going to have 3 1/2 of them. One is going to need to be cut down so its level with the others. As well I'm going to weld some brackets and mount them to the floor.

I drilled 1/2" holes in the walls and bolted the panels in using wedge anchors.

Also got my heater in. 70,000 btu. Really quiet compared to a torpedo heater. Really cranks out the heat.

Finished the platforms for the workbench as well got the power hooked up for all the outlets. For now I'm just going to cover them with mdf. But as funds come available ill swap them over to 1/4 steel.

Thanks and will do. Benches are almost done. Just need to be welded together and bolted to the floor. I ended up using the laminate cubical desks for the tops. Worked well for now and will be easy to clean up. Just need to install the under cabinet lighting for them and add some strip outlets.

Bought 12 of these. They are 105w 400w equivalent cfls. Lots of good reviews of these. Going to put 8 in the main area and 4 in the other. Roofs already have a defective finish. Cannot to get the I'm. They are huge and cheap.

Got 5 fixtures in today. I bought a 300w bulb from Home Depot just to see how it looked. Way to yellow for me but its bright. The others are supposed to be more white. Have 5 more to go in the main shop and 4 in the other side.

I spent 300 on the conduit, 15 bulbs and fixtures. Not bad I could have only bought 5 t8 fixtures for that.

Dogs first day in the shop. They are not happy only being able to stay in one side.

Bulbs came in. Made a huge difference. Went from having maybe a 1000w of light to 4000w. Bulbs are really nice and put out the full spectrum. Also figured out a place for my old filing cabinet. Will make good lockable tool storage.
