It's been a couple busy weeks as they worked to finish up the garage. Electrician is coming tomorrow to drop the line and get me powered up. Then I have both electrical and final building inspections sometime next week. Who knows when they come. They show when they show, but that means I pretty much have to be here until they do (see club meeting thread posted today). I have already started moving a few things in (must be kept away from the walls, for now) and once the inspections are done I can start my part of it all.
I've been slowly seeking out things I used to have daily access to at work. The pictures say it all.
Yay! The over two year ordeal has finally come to an end. I have passed all my inspections as of today. Not to say there will not be other ordeals, but this phase is over. Now comes a few tweaks, insulation, and then sheetrock. Hopefully I can get all that done (doing this all myself) by Christmas and I'll have a Christmas present under those trees out there.
As you saw in the previous post I picked up a machine lathe (and was given a lot of metal along with it) and last weekend my wife came upon a wood lathe. So whether it be metal or wood, I guess I'll be able to turn it.
... the Ranchero is home. Well, it's been home for over a year, but sitting out in the ghetto garage, which is near its end. Today I finally got far enough done with the garage to drive the car out of the ghetto and into a mansion by comparison.
I then closed all the doors and set off a couple bug killing bombs off. I'll be curious to see how many critters are on the floor under the car tomorrow. When I drove it over to Gene's last summer to do the motor swap the number of them I saw (because the car was essentially outside) while crawling around under the car (and I had to deal with) told me to do this today.
As for the garage itself, I still have two sheds full of stuff that will fill in the shelves on the back wall (mostly all empty still) and other places scattered about. But it is nearing full functionality now, and that's an awesome feeling; allowing me to finally close the chapter on this 2+ year drama.
