Welcome back. Good to see the garage progress.
And wire harness work can be fun, in the right state of mind. At least for a while. |

Wow, feeling kinda bad that I haven't been able to share much car progress, but an old guy like me just cant do a lot of car work and build a new shop all at once. Shop is finally progressing. All of the frame is done and now the metal is going on, there is water and sewer put in and the electric is run to the building. Hope I don't run out of steam, should have done this when I was 30, not 62.

Shop is finally ready for the roof. At the end of the year the shop should be done, and I will be going back into retirement.....that means back full time to my 914...I cant wait.
I am getting too old to be working as an electrician on construction sites in the brutal Texas heat.  |

Getting closer to getting into the shop. My goal is for it to be completed and move in by the end of December.

Then I am putting in a three zone mini split heat / AC Unit for temp control. I am also having the floor epoxy coated and putting in the 4 post lift. Cant wait to start moving in. |
