Once the floor was back filled Lloyd and MEJ did a run to HD and bought 32 bags of Concrete mix to fill the void:

Transparently 32 bags was not enough so work was halted before the drain area could be filled in:

5 bags later we had a level floor:

Next up was the framing of the wall for the shower and toilet area, the remainder will be the wetroom for stainless sinks, parts washer and beer fridge (wet room has multiple meanings):

And Hot and cold water for the shop area, also located near the front door and driveway where we have drainage.

That brings us up to date on these areas, we are slowly getting our equipment moved in, more on that on next post.

My wife knows that for years I have said all I need for accommodation is a 6 car garage and a hot plate.
I also own an Airstram trailer and have toyed with storing it on the back lot...... couldt think of a better plan!

Speaking of Dogs, I brought our Pug to the shop last Saturday, he is very curious and likes to hang around people even when they are busy working. lloyd was doing some electrical and Percy provided some job site security!

Great stuff Paul and Lloyd!

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

while we are in the process of finishing off the plumbing and the wetroom with nothing exciting to show, i thought I would share some photos of our shop equipment, some of which we had and more are recent acquisitions.

First or paint booth, we stripped off the old filters to the updraft area and vacuumed out the old debris, consisting of sawdust, sand and paint layers spanning 20+ years:

Ground down the old metal to get a smooth surface:

And reinstalled the filters, the place came with a large box of these that should last a few years:

here is a bad ass table we bought at a bankrupt garage auction in February, we send it out to have it sandblaster and powder coated:

We added casters and two intermediate shelves, it weighs 400 lbs and steers like the Queen Mary.

Columbia 604 vice bolted in, wheeling it over to the drill press was a challenge:

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Progress continues on the shop albeit at a modest pace, Paul is working on buttoning up and pressure testing the labyrinth of plumbing and air lines in the bathroom &amp; wet room before we can move on to insulation/vapor barrier then drywall during the holiday break. Electrical in almost complete in this area however light switch relocation, exhaust fan testing and provisioning for a smoke detector are still on the list. I have been chipping away at some of the framing tasks; still to do is a closet for the wet room/bathroom plumbing and elimination of a hallway door opening. With limited time available on the weekend I built an 11' bulkhead in the main front office to warehouse hallway to contain some unsightly conduit and exposed low voltage wiring prior to drywall.

Hall bulkhead framing.

Since when is conduit unsightly? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] Nice work Lloyd!

Whenever Lloyd says its unsightly! It was ugly under there.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

In my case, rightly or not, I have gone out of my way to expose conduit, gas pipes, air lines, etc. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

The area Lloyd boxed in was a mess of Security and telco wiring with some new conduit. In other areas of the shop we have a combo of exposed pipes and semi hidden that I will post photos on later this week now that out wet room is complete.

This one?

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Did you miss the part where the clock hooks over the wall plug ?

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Just hung for testing, clock goes elsewhere in shop.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Nice clock, I like the old Script. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Way better looking than my Snap-On Racing clock...

I thought I sold you a clock with a Brunette on it.

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

Ahead of the holiday break Paul and I embarked on the arduous and unpleasant job of insulating and installing vapor barrier in the Wet Room and Bathroom in preparation for drywall. Snow and freezing temperatures are becoming increasingly rare where we live and in fact until December 2016 we hadn't seen a snowfall in over 1,000 days. When we do experience snow its a couple of inches and gone in a day or two. Well this year has been different, cold temperatures have persisted and several inches of snow has accumulated. <span style="font-style: italic">Soooo </span> returning from an HD run with fresh supplies, while backing down the warehouse driveway Paul mis-navigated just a smig, dropped a rear wheel over an 18&quot; drainage ledge and shunted the Yukon into our recently renovated, minty fresh corrugated steel clad wall... What immediately followed was a gathering of neighbours who came to our aid. One brought 2 bags of salt...OK...thanks...another towed the Yukon out and off the ledge with his 5 Ton cube van to safety. Worked like a charm. The final result was a damaged wall panel and end cap that will be replaced in the spring with the Yukon taking the brunt.

You can always count on a business partner to be there when you need him..... with a camera and commentary!

That dent BTW, not including tail lamp, repair estimate $1700.00 The building not so much!

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop
 

&quot;NEWFIE CHROME&quot; only you can use that slang:-)

Re: Canuck and Edgemont Villages new Shop

Newfie's like myself refer to that a Duct Tape, personally I only own one roll as I seldom have need for it. Lloyd on the other hand owns several rolls in many colors, that particular one was branded by Snap On as he prefers the good stuff. He was very adept at applying it and appeared to have lots of years of experience in its application, that is why I let him have at it.

Yes, I do own several rolls of duct tape and in more than one color. That way I don't run out when Paul needs to borrow a role or two...

You need to select the "bbcode" to post pics in a thread from flickr. You can't do it from an android either, but I see you're using an iPhone. Maybe you can from that.

Thanks Dave, trying to get this tread back on track with a new photo host!

You're welcome. Flickr has it's limitations and quirks, but overall it's a good choice. Looking forward to more pics!
