Made huge headway on the shop today
john lucas
Removed almost all the boxes and junk except for some in the middle. Ripped out the old workbench which was nasty and the top was tilted. It had to go. Man did that guy love nails. If it took 2 nails to do the job he put in 4. He also put about a million nails in the walls to hold stuff. I think I removed close to 200. He also installed 2 boards for the workbench and then built a wall next to them. Man those were hard to get out.
Had an interesting time getting 2 cabinets off the wall. He installed them with screws that had no threads on the top 1 or so. The wall was only that thick so the screws didn't want to back out. Fortunately I knew some French words that were apparently just enough to get them out.
I have a bunch of stuff to do the next few days but will probably start cleaning and painting the floor Monday. I ordered my windows. They won't be in until the 24th but I do have one large one I can install when I have time in the next week.
I have to rip out all of the old wiring and run a temporary line to the 2 lights, garage door and the back room. I'm starting to get excited. I think I can finally see the end. Well in reality a shop never ends. Once I move in there will be cabinets to be built and gazillion other projects but at least I'll be in the shop doing those things.
