After 7 years of my parents parking in the driveway and 21 years of my wife
parking in the driveway all so I could use the garage for a shop. I am
finally getting a shop of my own with no bikes, lawn equipment, etc... and
my wife is getting the garage all to herself and we now have a large shed
for the bikes and lawn equipment. I just hope my wife doesn't start calling
the shop her sewing room---he he he.

The framers finished yesterday and the stucco guys will start on Monday. I
will post pictures later this weekend. I will have almost 300 square feet
with concrete pads in the front and back to spread out if need be.

This all came from our designer that decided the west end of the house
looked too plain from the street. He was going to extend the wrap around
porch to that end of the house when he hit upon the shop idea. I am soooo
excited.

More later,

Does this qualify as a gloat? Do you suck? Or what?

As one who understands cramped quarters, I am very happy for you and
your new shop!
Congrats, DUDE!

"Designer"? It took a "designer" to decide part of your house
"looked too plain from the street" to get you a shop? You're starting
to scare me

I took a quick look around. Very interesting! I suspect this work
might offer unusual challenges. I'd also guess that there might be a
lot of satisfaction in a really good restoration.

I guess that was not worded correctly. We knew the house was ugly from every
angle. We just needed guidance.

Guess not. Plant trees in front, paint the house (yelow), build a
shop. You pick the order. And be thankful you've got a house, and
aren't stuck in an apartment.

Thanks for the kind words.

Morris,

My vintage trailer fetish satisfies three passions at once... Camping, Old
stuff, and Woodworking. I'll post more pictures of the shop as things
proceed.
