Following Ryans lead. The entrance to my shop (double car garage with single overhead door) is from the double car garage through the pedestrian door.

End of tour About the various non-woodworking signs and junk hanging on the walls. Moss Furniture sign is a replica of my Grandfathers furniture shop, Car License from Oklahoma. The two blue signs above the laser window are the German and Norse nude beach signs, made some and hung on a friends and sons pool area as a joke. Yellow Sparky's liquor sign from the Virgin Islands back when every tourist bought 6 bottles of booze back duty free, and a bunch of car stuff some from past racing days and some newer. More of the racing stuff in the car garage.
Pictures hide the dust If one were to move any unit I am sure there are sawdust, dirt, dog hair, lost screws, etc under all of them. Thanks for the comment.
Has a nice "my life" feel with the memorabilia Ron. Seems like a comfy place to spend time, but gotta ask about the leather stain patterns on your thinking-chair?
That chair is a reject. Once used in the house, wore out. Moved to shop, sweat, and dogs have slept in it, has had a hard life. But Old Codgers need a place to collapse.
One can only wish for a great shop like that Ron. Two, two car garages Wow! I didn’t know you raced cars. Why the move from no state taxes Florida to Georgia?
Was retired at that point. Son, DIL, grandkids, here in Georgia. Son and DIL both University Professors at GSU. Therefore be close to them. Do miss the lower taxes, Tampa area restaurants and of course the water.
That’s the best reason Ron. That’s why my wife doesn’t want to leave this over regulated, no bail, no law enforcement, homelessness and the highest state taxes in the country and that just for starters. California. We need help.
Looks like a great space to build as well as just enjoy. For the floor - looks like painted concrete with some floor squares in the one area. Could you comment on that? As I'm looking at some potential shop reorganization, I'm considering investing in some flooring mats. Right now I just have concrete (which has some big cracks) with couple fatigue/rubber mats.
C'mon 987, fess up, how much do you pay SWMBO (or DIL, SIL, MIL, FIL, kids or grandkids) to tidy up for your, or do you now just spend your time out of the shop driving that P-car?
OOO0000oooo!!! Fe$tool💗💗💗!
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
