My New Shop ( another work in progress...)
 
Well.....Here it is.........My new shop!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...Airbase039.jpg

The building is 80 feet wide!

I'm going to install a 10'X10' roll-up door where the old sign is. and a 10'X9' door in the wall to the left of the picture.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...Airbase043.jpg

This is the wall where the new 10'X9' roll up door will go. This part of the building will be used as a paint and bodywork area, with a dedicated paint booth at the rear of the building.

This is the back of the building. The overhead steam pipes will be removed and a new cyclone fence installed back 50'X100'. Lot's of room for projects!

This is a shot of the main shop area. The "false" ceiling is coning down and the wall height is 13' so I can get some big stuff in there!

The doorway at the far end of the shop leads to the bathroom, a storage room, and the office.

This is a shot of the other end of the main shop area. Lots of room for projects!

Not a bad deal for $30,000, and my payments are only $197.99/month!

More to follow as I proceed to make this my dream shop................

It's said we make our own luck.

You sure made yours!

How fabulous is this?!?!

I've done a lot of "good deeds" over the years, so maybe this is due...............

SpringerPop 01-30-2011 11:53 AM

Kismet and Karma! :)

I'd like to think that it all works.

Will there be a big ol' pot-belly stove, resurrected from somewhere, for the local boys to sit around and "chew the fat" witcha'?

I can find only one L-shaped building on the "base" that could be your shop. Is it directly east-southeast, across the street, from what appears to be the biggest building on base, the one with the dark roof?

The land out back is yours, too?

Since I do quite a lot of work for the loggers around here, You Bet!

That would be the one, and I get a new fenced in area behind the building 50'X106'

You gotta save the old water fountain! Say that you will... :-missingt

fabmandelux 01-30-2011 06:30 PM

It's refrigerated, it works, and I live in the desert.............Of course I'll keep it!

SteveBricks 01-31-2011 09:27 AM

Is that your ski boat with the straight 6 merc?...............those 2 stroke mercs will embarrass many a boat with big v8 automobile engines in them........they were built with nothing but flat-out performance in mind.

Are the USAF coffee pots still there?........I have "some" experience dealing with those.

The place is gonna be great, Don!

Good Luck there Don

glovemeister 02-02-2011 06:18 PM

If you decide to get rid of that sign Don let me know, I'd love to buy it. Is that the old radar site near Condon?
