 Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2008 5:07 pm Post subject: Pimp your Work Place |
 |
|
While I had the camera out I snapped some photos of the place I putter around in. We lived here for 12 years before we built this scraping snow off cars and changing oil in the gravel. This is what it looks like from the outside. I framed in the single garage door side for my work area and we park our cars in the other side.
I dry walled and insulated the work shop area but got lazy and didn't tape and mud (much less paint!) the walls or ceiling. Hey, it's a shop not a house, right. 
The frig usually is stocked with adult beverages (and a few soft drinks).
Where the K lives during the frosty months.
This shot out the window tells you why there was no road test on the Saeng Quick Scans yet.
I'd like to see some other peoples work areas if you have a mind to.

Someday I will have a shop.
Not as nice as your perhaps Mystic, but it will be functional.
And not on the sidewalk.

Check out the paint shop on the left side by the pole.
It rocks.

I would have killed to have pavement to work on before the shop was built. It's funny but my wife used to chew on me because she didn't like sports on TV (particularly basketball) and said she wished I had my own room to view such things. Then I put TV in the shop and she thought I was spending too much time up there! 
I didn't post this to see pics of my shop, I know what it looks like, but I thought it would be interesting to see where everyone else works. I NEED MORE PICS!

Took a couple shots of my work space today
From the other side, this shot proves I live in the South, two Trans Ams up on blocks, along with a 63 Chevy "House Car"
Here's an inside shot, still finishing some winter projects on the K1100, more on that later
The other side
Sort of messy right now, as usual.

Been surprisingly snow-free here this winter.
Only about a week of snow total.
Cold though.

A couple more shots of the barn,
Here's the view out the back door
And here's what I use for calculations when designing sidecar suspension systems
somehow it seems appropriate
